The Guns of War
An American Shooter Special looking back to the arms of World War Two, carried by our Grandfathers and Fathers to preserve our freedoms.
60 years ago the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor forced America into the Second World War. What we had in our arsenals were small arms left from the trench warfare of the First Great War, the '03 Springfield and the 1911 sidearm. And there was that new rifle, created by John Garand and adopted just 5 years before Pearl Harbor.
Then there were the full-auto solutions, as greater firepower became the deciding factor in European battles and in the Pacific. The designs of Browning and Thompson would play a deciding roll in the war.
There were new guns, designed, tested and rushed into production in record time. There would be a low cost replacement for the Thompson submachine gun and a new carbine intended for clerks, drivers and tankers; that would become a front line star in full-auto configuration.
And there were the oddities of wartime, the disposable Liberator produced faster than it could be loaded to fire; and the two other solutions that were never the first choice of the Ordinance Department of the Army, the Reising and the Johnson.
It's an American Shooter special event recalling the historic guns that defeated the Axis war machine.
