During World War II, the Home Guard in the UK primarily used a variety of weapons, including rifles, shotguns, and machine guns. Many members were issued with outdated or surplus military equipment, such as the Lee-Enfield rifle and the Browning Automatic Rifle. Additionally, they sometimes used improvised weapons, like homemade bombs and Molotov cocktails, to defend against potential invasions. The Home Guard's arsenal reflected their role as a local defense force, often relying on what was readily available.
Mostly M-1 rifles. At least one officer had a .45 caliber pistol that was assigned to someone back at the Ravenna Armory at the time. Another officer had a .22 caliber pistol that was not Guard-issue.
The Old Home Guard was created in 1971.
