Thank you kindly sir.
The Garand is probably the best semi auto rifle ever made. Nothing,and I mean nothing says stay away from us like the Ma Deuce .50 heavy machine gun.

the .50! nothing like it.
for squad support i am torn, there are those that like the german mg-34 and 42's, but those are not for me. i like both the American B.A.R., and soviet D.P.-28. slower rates of fire, but more managable.

I can't say I am a fan of the BAR. Simply because of how little rounds in the clip.

Do weapons from that era qualify as antiques?

I imagine they could be sold for a fair amount of money to a collector.

Here are a couple "clips" that might prove interesting. The spaces are before the word "watch".
