small arms of world war ii
During the largest conflict in world history, weapons were
produced on a scale never seen before or since. Assembly
lines produced small arms by the thousands and factories
ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even before its entry
into the war, America declared itself the “arsenal of
democracy” and began to ramp up production considerably.
Though 60% of all weapons used during the war would
be made by America, other countries also proved their
economies could produce at a prodigious rate, especially
the Soviet Union. For characters taking part in the conflict,
weapons will be a priority piece of equipment and will
likely change from one adventure to the next, depending on
the mission.
Since small arms have changed considerably since
WWII, this book aims to provide the weapons used on all
sides during the war to both players and game masters.
P-38 in WWII because of the cost and time required to
manufacture them. Many officers who can afford one
of these legendary pistols (or who inherited one from a
military relative) carry these.
m-1911a1
One of the best loved handguns in use during WWII, this
legendary Colt autoloader was also one of the most feared.
A powerful weapon, soldiers reported seeing charging
Japanese soldiers stopped in their tracks and even pitched
backward from the force of this weapon. Since some
Japanese soldiers were also suicide bombers in the later
days of the Pacific campaign, this added to the allure of
these weapons, which were used in large numbers by the
United States, Britain and the Soviet Union.
nagant m-1895
A uniquely designed 7-shot revolver, the Nagant had
a status with Soviet military forces equal to that of the
M-1911 and the Tommy Gun among American forces.
Although primarily a police weapon, some of the M-1895’s
design features made it popular among frontline soldiers,
especially those serving in recon capacities. It was also
popular with the dreaded NKVD, the Soviet secret police,
who were fond of using the weapon for assassination.
The revolver’s unique features increased its muzzle
velocity substantially (reflected in the weapon’s damage).
The primary reason it was preferred by recon and secret
police forces was that the weapon could be fitted with a
suppressor, while most revolvers cannot.
Unfortunately, the unique features that allow suppressors
to be fitted and increase the weapon’s muzzle velocity
bring a drawback as well: the M-1895 requires twice the
reload time of a normal revolver (two full rounds instead
of one) and a speed loader cannot be used to reduce reload
time.
Being presented with a specially made M-1895
embossed with a red star is one of the highest honors a
Soviet military officer of the WWII-era can receive. A
weapon presented for such a purpose should be considered
masterwork.
handguns
browning hi-power
This weapon was used both by the Allies and the Germans
in WWII and was designed by legendary gunsmith John
Browning, inventor of the M-1911 Colt .45. Manufactured
in Belgium, this weapon first saw service with the Belgium
military, though it was also manufactured and carried by
Canadian, British and American forces. Following German
occupation of Belgium in WWII, the German Army also
began to carry these weapons.
enfield revolver
Adopted for military use in 1932, the Enfield revolver saw
use with British and Commonwealth forces throughout
World War II. Since it was cheap, easily concealed and
relatively effective it was also issued in great numbers
to the French Resistance, who called it the “Enfield
Commando”.
koishikawa type 26
A 9mm Japanese revolver that saw service in the Russo-
Japanese War and WWII. Although originally designed
as a cavalry sidearm, the Type 26 saw extensive action in
WWII because weapons of all types were in short supply.
nambu type 14
A common sidearm among Japanese officers during WWII,
the Nambu was sold at Japanese officers’ unions. Since
Japanese officers were required to buy their own sidearms
however, many Japanese officers of means bought
imported Western firearms which were frequently more
powerful or more reliable (or both).
luger
The Parabellum-Pistole P08, far better known by the name
of its designer, Luger, was the official German sidearm of
the First World War. Despite being incredibly well made
(the service life of a Luger is over 100 years with proper
maintenance) these pistols were phased out for the Walther

nambu type 94
An extremely small pistol made of plastic to be cheaper
and lighter, the Type 94 was constructed for air and tank
crews, where space is at a premium. It was used in large
numbers throughout WWII.
additions such as gold-inlay handles. If an officer carries
such a weapon it is almost always a masterwork variety of
the standard Sauer 38H.
smith and wesson model 10 “victory”
These weapons were made by the hundreds of thousands
during WWII (570,000 to be exact) and had the “V”
affixed to their serial number for victory and were provided
to British and Commonwealth forces under the American
lend-lease program. They were chambered for the less
powerful .38/200 round, not the more powerful .38 special
round because the .38/200 was in widespread use among
British and Commonwealth forces.
pistole 35(p)
The official sidearm of the Polish military, the Pistole 35(p)
is one of the finest handguns ever designed. Though rare,
these weapons are either encountered in the hands of Polish
resistance fighters or German soldiers who took one as a
trophy.
sauer 38h
These weapons were primarily used by German police
forces during WWII. Occasionally a Nazi officer would be
presented with one of these weapons as a gift, though such
weapons were specially made and featured very expensive
tt-33
A sturdy, reliable, semi-automatic pistol, the TT-33 was
produced in great numbers during WWII where it saw
extensive use among Soviet officers, tank crews and air
4
small arms of wwii
905021533.001.png
crews. Known for a long lifespan and the ability to take a
tremendous amount of abuse while maintaining reliability,
the TT-33 was still never able to totally supplant the M-
1895 revolver. As a testament to the fine construction of the
weapon, it is still produced commercially in China today.
mechanism. While this is likely not true, the weapon was
incredibly sturdy and reliable.
gewehr 43
As the war progressed, it became clear to Germany that a
semi-automatic rifle was needed to replace the bolt-action
rifles commonly issued to German soldiers at the start
of the war. Especially when faced with Russian semi-
automatic rifles and SMGs, a weapon with a faster rate
of fire was needed. Production of the Gewehr suffered
numerous problems and these weapons were rare until
quite late in the war (in 1944 these weapons become
somewhat common and are not common among German
soldiers until 1945).
walther p-38
A sleek, modern semi-automatic pistol, the P-38 was the
official sidearm for German military forces in WWII. It
was designed to replace the expensive Luger. It was used
primarily by German forces throughout the war, though
late in the war French resistance fighters used many
captured models.
walther pp/ppk
A gun designed from the ground up for the needs of
policemen, the Walther PP (police pistol) and Walther
PPK (police pistol, detective model) were popular among
soldiers and resistance fighters as well (though most of
these weapons were in fact carried by German policemen).
The PPK is the more popular model because it is small and
easy to conceal.
lewis gun
A revolutionary weapon when it was first introduced in the
First World War, the Lewis light machinegun continued to
see extensive use in WWII because it was readily available
and cheaply manufactured (though the vast majority of
these weapons used in the war were holdovers from WWI).
The Lewis required a two-man crew, a gunner who carried
the weapon and a reloader who carried ammunition.
During WWII this weapon was rarely carried, being seen
as obsolete as a squad automatic weapon. It was frequently
mounted on vehicles for defensive purposes however.
longarms
bren gun
Adopted in 1935, Brno-Enfield, commonly referred to as
the “Bren” was the standard British and Commonwealth
light machinegun through the Second World War. A
modified Czech design, the British version was modified to
fire the standard .303 rifle round, not the 7.62mm Mauser
round fired by its predecessor. The weapon was typically
carried by a two-man crew, a gunner (who carried the
weapon) and a reloader who carried ammunition and
barrels (the barrel of the Bren Gun became so heated it
needed to be periodically swapped out).
m-1 carbine
The M-1 Carbine was constructed for soldiers who needed
something in between the standard M-1 and the many
SMGs used by American forces during the war. The M-
1 was too large and bulky for soldiers where weight and
space was at a premium, especially paratroopers but also
soldiers forced to carry other equipment such as medics
and engineers. On the other hand, most SMGs did not
have sufficient range for military encounters during the
war outside of an urban environment. The solution to these
problems was the M-1 Carbine, a modified M-1 with a
folding metal stock a larger 15-round box clip.
browning m-1919 medium machinegun
These reliable and powerful medium machineguns were
operated throughout WWII by two-man teams, a gunner
who fired and carried the weapon and a reloader who
carried the tripod and ammunition. These weapons were
also mounted on vehicles, especially trucks, jeeps and
ships.
The Exotic Firearms Proficiency (heavy machinegun)
applies to this weapon.
m-1 garand
The first semi-automatic service rifle issued to any army in
the world, the M-1 was the standard service weapon of the
United States infantry from 1936 to 1957. Although the “en
bloc” magazine system is primitive by today’s standards,
the appearance of a large number of semi-automatic, clip-
fed rifles in 1936 altered the scope of the war and many of
the Axis powers spent the entire war trying to design a rifle
to match the M-1 with little success.
dp-28 light machinegun
This Soviet machinegun was cheap and easy to make. It
consisted of no more than 80 parts and could be assembled
by untrained laborers. The DP-28 also possessed excellent
stopping power and was extremely reliable. In fact a
(possibly) ironic anecdote about the DP-28 was that it
actually fired better if some sand was thrown in the firing
m-1d sniper rifle
Like all sniper rifles of the WWII era, the M-1D is a
modified standard service rifle. It comes equipped with a
scope and is a masterwork weapon. The M-1D also comes
