The name of an American war medal ore pin with to rifles in cross?
It sure sounds like a Marksmanship Badge for Army or Marines. But these badges had a Maltese Cross without rifles. One class of badges for the Marines had crossed rifles but no cross. So it could be a markmanship badge issued either by a State for that State's National Guard soldier. Or it could be a marksman badge issued for competition. I think soldiers could wear these non-regulation badges on some occasions. What do you mean by "ore pin"? The question says, in part, that it may not be a medal but a "pin". If it's brass, circular in shape, with the crossed rifles in it, than it is simply a branch insignia for the US infantry.

Are crossed AUTOMATIC rifles a symbol of the US Infantry or Marine Corps - I've seen the old style bolt rifles crossed but not auto ones?
The Springfield 1903 rifle is a classic US firearm, and the military keeps them as a symbol of infantry in general. They don't use M-16s or anything like that. If you look closely, you will notice that the U.S. Infantry emblem is a pair of crossed MUSKETS, not auto-rifles, definitely NOT M-16's. I hope this corrects the mistake made above this boutthe 1903 Springfield.
