WEll heck if weight is not an issue, then a bazooka for hardened targets, a BAR for fire supression and LMG purposes, a Garand for personal rifle, a carbine and a Thompson to back it up, and a 45 as a backup backup. Then a wheelbarrow to haul it all around in. Man I suppose that some folks will tell you what it is like to hump around a heavy pack and a rifle all day and day in and week out and never fire a shot. Not like you would be fighting every day for years or something. But the gear gets heavy. Would like a survey of how many rounds an actual infantryman fired in combat over the period. Like, some fired a few hundred, possibly, and there are some that might have never fired at the enemy, but they all had to drag around all that gear. Still think the BIG G is the best answer. If you could scrounge a sidearm, fine, as insurance, but you might not ever fire that too. Not many folks got in pistol fights I don't think. Thats why they are so notable.
