Springfields
This is the only piece of kit in this production that bothered me. Why was this guy carrying a Springfield? There is no evidence of a scope mount and by this time, if I am correct, the Springfield had been phased out of frontline service in favour of the Garand. Charon68

- The 1903 was widely used by US Army and US Marine Corps personnel in from 1942 until late 1944. Garands were nonexistent in US Military hands that were in the shit in 1941 and early 1942 (January). By the time of the Battle of Guandacanal and the Begin of the African Campaign, M1 Garands, M1 Carbines and 1903s were widely used by the US Marine Corps and the US Army. By 1943 the Springfields, Carbines and the Garands were still being used but by Late 1943, springfields were being "retired" and the Garands and M1s completely replacing them.
