BARs werent used much by paratroopers because of its weight and size, as if you fools didnt know that already biggrin:

shifty uses a m1, you're thinking of something else.

Tripper · 03-07-2003, 05:22 PM

Didn't Malarkey have a folding-stock Carbine at one point?

well isnt that Shifty in that picture firing on the sniper in that pic? Look at the white helmet, and I think hes firing at the second sniper (The one that attacked during the singing on the tank, after the big battle) I remember Liptron saying to Shifty "Shifty;Dont miss" and i believe thats the picture

Yeah - It fucking does matter. I was replying to what Zoner said on page 1, n00b.

youre right, a rifle nade or mortar took out the first sniper

RUNGSI · 03-07-2003, 06:01 PM

Weapons used by the 101st [506th] paratroopers:

M1 garand
M1 carbine (with folding stock only)
Thompson
Bazooka
60mm mortar
81mm mortar
LMG Browning M1919-A4 .30 cal Machinegun
and of course, garmon grenades, frag grenades, boot knifes, and the M1911A1 Pistol.

If you want to go by what really happened and use the series as hisotrical referance, then your a fool.
The answer is No, the BAR was not standard issue to the paratroopers, nor was the M3A1 (Greasegun) as seen in the series.
One does need to consider that mogority of the time fighting, and recieving replacements they had never jumped, and issued weapons might have changed.

People keep asking me if we will be adding the flamethrower to the BoB MOD.
Heh, I dont think many jumped out of a plane with a flamethrower straped to there back.

In the attack on Foy there's a couple guys with BAR's but no main charcters.
