We all known that during WW1 and WW2 soldiers were allowed to buy and carry there own firearms. Not only that but war trophies were commonly taken, German and Japanese handguns were prized possessions. Though famously one soldier sent an entire jeep home piece by piece.
Made humorous when one mash soldier threatened to eat said same model of jeep in an attempt to get out of the army. Patton was one famous soldier who carried multiple guns including his killing Magnum Registered.
The Magnum should be a slow firing powerful gun perhaps forcing the soldier to shoot two handed. The gun of course would not use moon or half moon clips but be loaded one bullet at a time. on the other hand it should be a one hit kill even to the body. Do you feel lucky punk, well do you.

Although popularly remembered as the “two-gun” General, Patton actually seldom wore both of his “carrying guns” together. And, he owned several personal pistols aside from the two usually photographed on him in WWII. Further, his guns were usually ivory handled, NEVER pearl, as they were sometimes mistaken. The handguns most associated with him, and which are now in the Patton Collection of the West Point Museum, are a .45 Long Colt Single Action revolver, 1873 Army Model, and a .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson revolver.
