Here’s every weapon the US Army gives to its soldiers
It goes without saying that the US Army is continuously testing and adding new weapons to its arsenal.
For example, the Army recently began to replace the M9 and M11 pistols with the M17 and M18, but has only delivered them to soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. Therefore, the pistols are not yet standard issue.
While the Army continues to stay ahead of the game, it undoubtedly has a multitude of weapons for its soldiers.
And we compiled a list of all these standard issue weapons operable by individual soldiers below, meaning that we didn’t include, for example, the Javelin anti-tank missile system because it takes more than one person to operate, nor did we include nonstandard issue weapons.
Check them out:
1. M1911 Pistol
2. M9 Pistol
3. M11 Pistol
4. M500 SHOTGUN
5. M590 SHOTGUN
6. M26 Modular Shotgun Accessory
7. M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle
