Grandpa's rifle

An LS M/26, and he stacked those commies high.

Friend of mines grandpa was at Inchon with his Garand, he said the barrel was glowing orange as he busted commies armed with nothing but sharpened sticks as they crawled on tanks like ants trying to get to the hatch

m1 carbine and 1911

>serving in JNA
>carrying a šarac

If i had a nickle for everytime i heard that...seems that at least 70% of JNA was issued the M53 if veterans are to be trusted. Anyhow, my ancestors in the JNA were issued:
>grandpa M48 during basic, M56 when working as a mechanic, and later in the TO an Ppsh41
>dad carried an M59/66 as a radio operator

I live in the US, besides my relatives who were conscripts in the JNA before coming here I haven't heard that lol, and the older ones that were YPLA basically used the best they could get

Grandfather was 101st AB WW2, carried an M1 Carbine in addition to his glider borne artillery piece.

Great-Grandfather went to the trenches unarmed. He was a medic.

Great-Great-Great-Grandfather carried an 1858 New Army Remington during the Civil War and then in the Indian Campaigns

a K98K

Probably a K98 or a Stg44 later on.
Stay jelly amerifats.

Grand dad was a paratrooper in Korea and carried an M2 Carbine, he also said he was very fond of the BAR.

Grandpa possibly a K98, even though once it was recognized that him being a pastor and all kind of implied that he's pacifist as fuck he was ordered to operate the radio until he was wounded and could go home.

A select fire m14 while he was stationed with the 7th army in west germany durring the late 60s and in italy in the early 70s

As far as I'm aware, my grandfather hid in a tree so as to not get caught and get sent off to war in 1943. I know, thanks to a Family Book that one of my great-great-grandfather went around with a Ross rifle, at least he was when they snapped a pic of him in France circa 1917 I think.

neither of my grandfathers were infantry, one of them never even finished training
plus the the whole military procurement business was a clusterfuck at the time so who the fuck knows

Grandpa was one of the good guys I see

Great grandpa went to Pelilui with a BAR, had an infatuation with the thing and started a Browning cult within the family, A5s everywhere

My grandfather served in the US Army Air Corps and acquired a Garand. I do not know if he was issued it or what, considering he spent most of the war as a B-24 navigator. I don't know if they issued you these and you left it in your barracks, or he bought it as a souvenir, or what.
Years later he traded it for, I think, a Luger. Then when he died my grandmother sold that gun. I was born another 15 years after that.

My grandpa used a Carcano to defend Tunis from the Italian. Small French-Tunisian resistance.

Grandpa was West Point graduate, worked with Nike Missiles and then taught mathematics at west point for awhile before volunteering to go to Vietnam out of guilt that that's where all his students were going.

He had his Airborne jump wings but he said he was an Artillery officer and carried around only a M1911. Though some people who knew him say he was special forces and sometimes I can see he keeps things vague. Only story I know for sure is that he always told us how he would order the Huey pilots to get really low into any rivers they passed so he could hang out the side and shoot at the Helicopters with his Colt .45, always said "I don't even know if I hit any of them, but I always felt good doing it..."

One had a Garand and 1911, the other carried an M1 carbine and a whole fuckload of grenades.
>there's pics of him in France and my first thought was jesus thats a lot of grenades

Turned wrenches and played baseball against the pros on one of the Flip islands.

Mine granpa has a Rossi Shotgun, a very popular agriculture defense gun, but I dont remember the exactly model, also he had some revolver and rifles from Taurus, in the time that the company was still good, good old times user

Great great grandfather wielded two Starr revolvers as a guerilla cavalryman in West Virginia.
That was the last cool war service in the family unless you count his son patrolling the coastline for U-Boats on horseback during the first World War or his son doing stuff with helicopters in the Korean War.

both on korean front and both M1 carbines.
I remember one mentioning that he didnt trust the Thompson very much and that he liked the BAR. The other was in artillery and list his whole team. Neither would tell me many stories

*lost his whole

Started with an "allied" :^) Carcano before getting a K98 and ended with a STG.

>because they were tired of standing in breadlines
Nice meme, diasporashit. After the war country was destroyed but it overcame its problems very soon and became most prosperous country in the Balkans.
Your family were probably chetnik nazis full of shit, so they just changed their symbols when realized they will lose the war.

Ah no, I stated earlier they were Tito Partisans, and my great grandmother on my grandmas side was a Croat, her husband a Serb Tito Partisan, his brother imprisoned by Ustashe, they didn't emigrate until 1969 and my uncle was born otw to America in Austria, gramps had his share of socialism as a business owner and packed his shit. don't get triggered brate

Why the fuck do women always do this, I would be seething

My great grandpa likely used and Arisaka during his tenure in the imperial guard. Same great grandpa who was later tried and hung for war crimes.

He was a sniper in the belgian army during the Korea war.

SAFN/FN49 with a 1951 belgian military scope and mount.

M14/M16 in Vietnam
Although apparently he did Recoiless Rifles too

>be grandpa stuck behind north korean lines as a child
>his parents hide him in a crawlspace
>grandpa wakes up to find his entire village murdered
>grandpa is less than 10 years old but eventually tries to walk back to south korean lines as other farmers caught up with him
>nk soldiers dressed as south korean soldiers trick other farmers to go to prison camp
>grandpa smells it coming so stays behind the line

1/2

My great grandfather was among the first Marines to land at Iwo Jima. Although he was a cook for the second armored amphibious assault battalion, he still carried a rifle. U.S. Rifle, caliber .30, M1. He kept that rifle after the war, and went hunting with it quite a few times apparently. He also shot at people who insulted his family, from what I heard. Which is ironic, because he was a preacher. He died in September last year.

2/2 continued

>continue working on army cars and trucks
>when he got old enough they let him deliver cars and trucks and supplies
>eventually starts working as a mechanic
>eventually trains with m1 and m1 carbine
>grandpa is entirely grateful to america and eventually immigrated here to open up his own mechanic shop in LA to return the service he received from americans
>LA Riots
>grandpa tells me about the time he had to guard his own shop with his m1 garand(he bought one didn't get to take one back with him because he wasn't officially in the branches)

our family is forever grateful to america and we will always remember this. I plan on becoming a gunsmith so I can also give back to america because I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for them. Thank you to all.

Most likely: M1 Garand
>t. Grandfather served in Pacific Front WWII as enlisted infantry

also tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of when koreans protested against the japanese in 1919.
The koreans were tired of living under japanese rule and they all ran into the streets with the korean flag waving it and holding it high as they were shot down for it.

Tomorrow in LA korea town they will hold a celebration. Everyone is welcomed and I urge everyone to come for delicious foods and to share and learn about our culture.

Based. Grandpa and Great-Uncle K98s. Great Grandpa used a Luger from the pictures seen. Was Kriegsmarine. All 3 stacked good little goyim and communists.

Not sure about his rifle but he was a tank Commander in a zsu 57

He told me about how he learned to shoot the svd in his later years in the army. Never saw combat though.

A fucking tank in Korea

Gramps didnt fuck around when it came to killing gooks

Based Krauts
do you know if any have your forefathers fought in the Great War?

Gramps was a Major in the Air Corp and carried a S&W Victory Model throughout the war. Kept it on his nightstand for the rest of his life.

A garand in pelileu and graudacanal. Other one had whatever they gave to the guys that did the mathematics for the artillery units in korea

Grandpa was a pilot in the Signal Corps in the 20s, carried a .38. Dad was a Carpenters Mate in the Navy in WW2, in the Pacific. He was stationed on Espiritu Santo and Tinian. He would have carried an 03A3 and a 1911 when he was on watch.

My grandpa flew shooting stars in Korea and My dad flew f16s in Desert Storm. It makes me feel like even more of an embarrassing failure than I already am.

So what is it that you do?

Great grandfather on my mothers side was some or other scout for the DAK in Africa, some point he apparently joined the SS or something and was Rudolph Hess's personal driver at some point so I'd like to say he carried a K98 and a luger at some point

I dont know if it counts, but my Great-Grandfather used a FmW 35. We have some old photos from him of burned corpses, wich are probably his victims.

My grandfather carried an M1 Garand as a UP apart of 1st Cavalry in Korea in 1964. Passed away 3 weeks ago and I'm still broken.

Fucking based, thanks to your grandpa for being a badass and class act

YESSSSSSS FRY EM POPPOP

According to him, my grandfather was supposedly one of the first people to test the M16 for the Army. He said the only thing he remembered vividly was the three-prong flash hider, and how it strange it was after using the M14 and Garand.

Dad had an M16A1 then M16A2 on a 120mm SP Mortar

Granddad had an M1 Carbine and a 1911

Great Granddad a US1917

Great Great Granddad a trapdoor Sprinfield
