What kind of rifles are on the infantry crossed rifles?
The regulation US Army Infantry insignia consists of two crossed model 1795 Springfield flintlock muskets of .69 caliber. This was the US Army's first US government made & issued shoulder arm. This infantry insignia was officially adapted by the US Army in 1922. From about 1875 until 1922, the US Infantry used the crossed rifles that were issued to the US Infantry at the time. Everytime the US Army adopted a new rifle, the Quartermaster would have to issue a new infantry crossed rifle insignia to match the new rifle. For example when the Army adapted the model 1903 bolt action Springfield in 1903...crossed 1903 Springfield insignia's had to be issued. This all ended by the new 1922 regulation.
What is names of some World War 1 guns?
Germans had Luger pistols and "broom handle" Mauser pistols, and Mauser rifles. Their machine guns were often called Maxim guns, after the designer, Hiram Maxim. The French had Lebel Rifles and Maxim machine guns. The French also had a light machine gun that was probably the worst of the war, called a Chauchat. It had a clip that curved below the weapon, and the sides of the clip were cut out - I suppose so the soldier could see how many rounds he had left. It would be hard to think of a worse idea for a weapon if you tried, in the mud of the western front. The French generously inflicted thousands of these on American troops when they arrived in France. Americans had Springfield rifles and "American Enfield" rifles. The Enfield was the British type of rifle. American factories had made these under contract for Great Britain before America got in the war. When America did get in the war, there were not enough Springfield rifles for the hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, and no way to make enough in time. The factories previously making rifles for Britain started making them for America, changing the design slightly so the "American Enfields" were the same caliber and used the same cartridges as the Springfield. Americans also had the Colt automatic pistol, which remained the US service pistol until the 1980s. The Browning Automatic Rifle and the Thompson Submachine gun were developed for the war, but were not ready in time to see service. The British had their Lee-Enfield rifles and Webley revolvers for pistols. They had the same machine guns as the Germans and French, but called them Vickers guns instead of Maxims. The British also had a light machine gun called a Lewis gun. The Russians had Moisin-Nagant rifles. The Italians had Mannlicher-Carcano rifles. The Austrians had Steyr rifles. All the rifles were very similar, bolt-action types.
