Default Re: WWII small arms

Hello All,

One 45 caliber weapon called a reising from the early days of the war wasn't too handy, the bolt had to be cocked from under the forearm if I remember, it was no substitute for a Thompson, looked a bit like the lowest bidder won the contract for that one. Latter part of '44 the "grease guns" were showing up in the Philippines, I wasn't very impressed by those either.
