@McSkumm I'm pretty sure the Marines still had M1917s, but am ready to learn. They did indeed rearm with M1919s afterward, as they went to M1 Garands.

@itsconnorstime Hm. I'm open for learning, but I had never heard of .50s on the lines. Pressed into stopping Japanese penetrations would not be implausible.
