M3 trench knifeThe M3 trench knife or M3 fighting knife was an American military combat knife first issued in March 1943. The M3 was originally designated for issue to soldiers, not otherwise equipped with a bayonet. However, it was particularly designed for use by forces in need of a close combat knife, such as Airborne Units and Army Rangers, so these units received priority for the M3 at the start of production.
M6 bayonetThe M6 Bayonet is a bayonet used by the U.S. military for the M14 rifle, it can also be used with the Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle as well M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle. It was introduced in 1957, at the same time as the rifle itself. It is the only bayonet made for the M14. Like its predecessor, the M5 bayonet for the M1 Garand rifle, the M6 was intended to serve additional roles as a combat knife and utility knife. The basic blade design was like the M4, M5, and later M7 bayonets, based on the World War II designed M3 Trench Knife.
M1905 bayonetThe Model of 1905 bayonet was made for the U.S. M1903 Springfield rifle. This designation was changed to Model 1905 in 1917, and then to M1905 in 1925, when the army adopted the M designation nomenclature. The M1905 bayonet has a 16-inch (40.6 cm) steel blade and a 4-inch (10.16 cm) handle with wooden or plastic grips. The bayonet also fits the U.S. M1 Garand rifle. From 1943 to 1945, a shorter, 10-inch (25.4 cm), bladed version was produced with black or dark red molded plastic grips, and designated the M1 bayonet.
Carabine M1La carabine M1 (M1 carbine en anglais) produite par Winchester ainsi que de nombreuses autres firmes américaines dont Inland qui en est le plus grand fabricant, est l'arme individuelle la plus produite par les États-Unis durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec construits à la fin du conflit. En 1940, l'US Army, après un examen de l'équipement de ses unités combattantes et avoir constaté le manque d'efficacité du pistolet Colt 1911 pendant la Première Guerre mondiale dans les mains des soldats de 2e ligne non expérimentés, exprima la nécessité de disposer d'une carabine légère et d'un maniement facile, pouvant remplacer le pistolet pour les soldats non équipés du fusil (Garand ou 1903).
