Depends on which one you're talking about. If you're referring to 1948, they had a hodgepodge assortment of rifles - Lee-Enfields, Mausers, Springfields, Garands, etc. In 1955, they adopted the FN FAL rifle, while many reservists were still armed with Mausers which had been rechambered for the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge. The FAL remained in production in Israel until 1980, but after the Yom Kippur War, began being phased out for the M16 and Galil. In 2006, they had M16s, M4s, Galils, and the Tavor TAR-21 is likely to have seen service, as well as the Negev light machine gun, Stoner SR-25, and other weapons.

Who was the 54 infantry and why was it important?

The 54th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army currently only has one active battalion, which is a Basic Combat Training battalion at Fort Benning. It may or not still be an infantry One Station Unit Training outfit - infantry OSUT used to be exclusive to Fort Benning, but some units since have reverted to non-infantry Basic Combat Training. A friend of mine who went through infantry OSUT in 2/54 in the late 90s tells me the battalion used to be nicknamed "Hell's Kitchen". As for lineage and honours they carry, its respectable, but nothing which would gain the regiment the fame of more 'prominent' units, such as the 506th PIR. See the related link section for the Wikipedia article on the 54th Infantry Regiment.

What was the basc weapon of the infantry soldier?

The M4 is the basic weapon system for the modern infantry soldier. It is usually equipped with a M68 red dot sight. A standard combat load for a soldier carrying an M4 is 400 rounds of ammunition. Are you serious? 400 rounds is not the STANDARD combat load. The M16A4 is the standard basic weapon but is being replaced by the M4. A red dot is definitely not the standard sight.

What four new weapons were used during World War 2?

It depends somewhat on your definition of "new", but basic infantry weaponry in World War II for the United States Army used only two weapons from Wordl War I in the regular footsoldiers equipment: The M1911A1 Colt automatic pistol, and the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). The 1903, and 03A3 Springfields of World War I were also used, but as sniper weapons, not as main infantry shoulder rifles. The basic shoulder rifle was the M1 Garand (1936), the secondary support shoulder weapon was the M1 Carbine, the submachine guns were the Thompson submachinegun, which missed, literally by days, being used in World War 1, and the M3 "grease gun" submachine gun. The bazooka was also a new weapon in WW II.
