Every WW2 Rifle RANKED — from the worst clunker ever shoved into a soldier's hands to the one gun that quietly ended an entire era of warfare.
By 1945, most soldiers on Earth were still fighting with a bolt-action design older than their grandfathers — yank the bolt by hand between every single shot. But buried in that same war was a weapon so far ahead of everyone else that soldiers are still carrying its grandchildren into battle today.
In this video we rank the 15 most iconic rifles of World War 2 — WORST to BEST. From Germany's embarrassing Gewehr 41 failure, to the legendary Mosin-Nagant, the mighty M1 Garand that gave the American GI a superpower, all the way to the Sturmgewehr 44 — the first assault rifle and arguably the most important gun of the entire 20th century.
