Springfield 1903
The Springfield Model 1903 rifle owes much to Mauser who were contracted by the U.S. to develop a replacement for the Krag-Jorgenson rifle, in service since 1892. Manufactured at the federal arsenal in Springfield Massachusetts, the Model 1903 would spawn many varients down the years including the M1903A4 sniper rifle.
Note: The federal arsenal at Springfield was in continuous operation from 1794 to 1968.

The Enfield M1917 Rifle despite being a civilian developed and manufactured weapon was carried by 70% of men serving on the western front. The federal armory simply could not manufacture enough M1903 Rifles.In the two years prior to the end of WW1 over two million M1017s were manufactured. The M1917 is essentially an Enfield Model P14 of Cal. .303 re chambered to the federal Cal. .30 M1906. Interestingly 100,000 M1917s were supplied to Great Britain, serving withe the Home Guard. A red stripe was painted around the stock to remind the used not to load the rimless .303 Calibre British Service cartridge.

Colt 1911
The Colt M1911 Automatic Pistol is probably the most famous military handgun of all, seeing official service with U.S. Forces from 1911 to 1990. Designed by John Browning, initially in .38 calibre, it was at first inadequate as a man stopper during the campaign in the Philippines. Browning redesigned the weapon increasing the calibre to .45 ACP. In this form it was adopted by the U.S. Army as the "U.S. Pistol, Automatic, Calibre .45, Model 1911"

les armes de soutiens :
BAR 1918
The Browning Automatic Rifle M1918 was unusual in its designation as a rifle whilst its operation was more like a light machine gun. Yet another development by the prolific John Moses Browning, the weapon saw limited service at the very end of WW1. Here the tactic was to fire the weapon from the hip whilst walking toward the emeny. the idea being to keep the oppositions heads down by spraying the ground ahead. The BAR was gas operated and could be fired semi or fully automatically. Al well and good but the 20 round magazines were soon exhausted. In spite of its idiosyncrasies the BAR remained in service until 1957.
