Spartan Soldiers

2007-06-14T14:53:33Z

Rex(AndrewN):

Spartan Soldiers are considered to be some of the greatest fighters ever. Every Spartan boy was trained in the army. When a Spartan child was born he or she would be examined, and if it was a strong and healthy boy he would grow up to be a soldier, and if it was crippled it would be left on the mountainside to die. Each spartan boy would be given a mentor, who would also act as lover and father. A strong girl would grow up to be a good mother and if weak would also be cast onto the mountainside. If a Spartan boy was caught stealing he would be beaten severely, not because he had stolen but because he was caught. The boys started their training at age seven and served in the army most of their life. It was considered an honor to die in battle. It was also a disgrace to lose a battle and come home still alive. You may ask who did all the farm work to feed the city-state? As it turns out, the Spartans conquered many countries and brought the conquered natives back to do their farming. In addition, Spartans followed the practice of slavery and were known to be vicious and unkind masters.

M-1Carbine

Rex(AndrewN):

The M1 Carbine was another successful rifle design of the Second World War. It utilized a semi-automatic function much like the [[M1 Garand]] in that the soldier could maintain a decent rate of fire by how fast the trigger was depressed.The M1 Carbine was lightweight and was usually assigned to paratroopers and tank teams because of the size and folding buttstock.The M1 Carbine could be armed with a 15 or 30 round ammunition clip.

M1918 BAR

2007-03-29T16:28:31Z

Rex(AndrewN):

[[Image:BAR_Machine_Gun.jpg|right|frame]]
The M1918 BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) was a direct result of machine gun and trench warfare found in the First World War. The initial intention was to fill the need for soldiers to have firepower of a machine gun with the carrying capacity (and accuracy for that matter) of a portable combat rifle. The idea was actually presented by the French, and in 1917, [[John Browning]] set out to fulfill the idea. Thusly the BAR was born and got some service towards the end of the First World War. This weapon was fully put into service in the Second World War. This gun was so deadly because it had two modes: selective single shot and fully automatic fire. The BAR was no longer used by American forces after the 1950s, but used by some other armies until the 1970s.
Although it had features of both a [[machinegun]] and a [[rifle]], some anti-American historians do not acknowledge it as the first [[assault rifle]]. They instead say this was the [[Nazi]] [[Sturmgewehr44]].

M1 Garand

2007-03-29T16:26:23Z

Rex(AndrewN):

The M1 Garand rifle was the standard infantry rifle for the US Army and US Marines before and after the Second World War. The M1 Garand was issued in 1936 and by the year 1941, it became the standard frontline weapon in almost any branch of service. By 1945 huge quantities were available (near the war's end). The rifle fired .30 caliber rounds from an 8-shot clip. Its only setback was that all bullets needed to be discharged before a fresh clip could be loaded.

M3A1 Grease Gun Submachine Gun

2007-03-29T16:25:44Z

Rex(AndrewN):

The United States started to believe in the concept of the Submachine guns after a successful British Sten Mark series and the famous German MP40 Submachine gun. The M3 Grease Gun first saw action in the European Theater though not to much fanfare. The short comings of this simply produced Submachine gun became aparent in battle field conditions and soldiers were then in more favor of using there trusty [[M1 Thompson]] "Tommy Gun", or even a Germa MP38 or MP40 if they found one. Even the 30. caliber [[M-1Carbine]] was more appealing for a soldier. Never the less The M3 Grease Gun was pressed into service and was used by many soldiers throughout the war. In 1944 The Grease Gun was preduced in an even more simpler way, but more effective. It jamming less but even then i twas still not the most appealing weapon. The U.S. soldeirs never fully accepted the Grease Gun even though 700,000 were made in the United States alone.

M1 Thompson

2007-03-29T16:24:40Z

Rex(AndrewN):

The M1 Thompson was designed by American Colonel John T. Thompson and manufactured by Savage Arms Corporation in Utica, [[New York]]. When [[World War II]] started, it became clear that the previous process of making the weapon was too complicated and too expensive. The weapon's sights were drastically simplified from the original and the magazine capacity was changed from the 50 or 100-round drum to the more acceptable 30-round box. A 20-round box was also made available. The 'Tommy Gun' went on to achieve a tremendous amount of success, often finding favor with soldiers that preferred it over the British [[Sten gun]] and American [[M3 Grease Gun]], which had attempted to replace the Thompson. It was no longer used in American service after the early 1960s due to technological advances.
