1940's weapons



world war 2 was the largest armed conflict in history, the entire world and involving more countries that  any other war, as well as introducing the most powerful weapons. My favorite weapon was the bazooka. Thew bazooka weapon was one of the first anti- tank weapons based on the heat shell to enter service, used by the united states armed forces in world war 2. it was nicknamed a "bazooka" from a vague resembled to the musical instrument. It was highly effective, so much so that the Germans copied it outright to produce their own version known as the Panzerschreck.
My second favorite was the MG42. This gun at this rate it becomes impossible for the human ear to discern the sound of individual bullets being fired, and thus when in use the gun makes a sound described both as "ripping cloth" and "hitler's buzzsaw."
