The M1A1 Carbine, based on the U.S. M1 .30 Caliber Carbine, was the only gun developed specifically for America's Airborne during World War II. Modeled after a late production 1944 M1A1 Paratrooper model, Inland Manufacturing's M1A1 Paratrooper features a folding "low wood" walnut stock, type two barrel band, and includes the same adjustable sights that were actually introduced in 1944. Additionally, the gun has a 15-round capacity just like the original used during World War II. Overall, Inland Manufacturing provides consumers with the opportunity to own a piece of history with its M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine.
Among the machine guns used by all the powers involved in World War I, the Austrian Schwarzlose is often forgotten. But this simple, reliable arm saw service for more than 20 years across two world wars.
For the Union Army during the American Civil War, its officers and cavalry troopers relied on one of Colt's most notable firearms: the 1860 Army revolver.
