I don’t care naming my soldiers, I want to name my rifle. Make the “name tickets” work for soldiers and guns.
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me.
Only for the m2 series but there were bayonet lugs in m1s at the end of ww2 after soldiers put knives onto their carbines though the bayonet for the carbine we have is pretty much post war
