91/30, K98k, VZ24, Mas36 (I had to sell mine  ), N04Mk1*, don't forget the Snipers!!! They are the most fun. K98 High turret, 91/30 PU. I had an Model 99 and an M1 Garand, neither gave me a rush. I also sold an M38 Carcano, it uses a strange size 6.5 bullet and is expensive for what it is to reload.
1942's I have and had:
H&R M1
M99 w/ all the bells and whistles, vet bring back, no duffle cut, matching
91/30 matching
BYF K98k, matching, vet bring back
No4MK1* Longbranch Matching
No4mk1/3 Longbranch Matching FTR 1952
M38 Carcano Matching

You're right. My dad, who served in CBI Theater of Ops in WWII, saw a tiger take 15 shots from a M1. The tiger had grabbed a coolie and took off with him into the jungle.

I picked the M1 Tommy.
Really, though, it depends on the role. General fighting? Give me an M1 Garand. If I'm an observer, or a rear-echelon type, then the M1 Carbine would be my choice.
Jungle fighting? Thompson, hands down.
Precision shooting? M1903, Arisaka, Mauser, or any of the other Mauser variants, preferably 'scoped.
If I could only be armed with one, though... it would be the, Sturmgewehr 44, no contest. Think about it!

Gotta go with the Thompson. Shortly after I moved to Alaska there was an ad in Shotgun News, Law Enforcement Only M1 Thompson for $175. I wanted to be a cop so bad. Tried to start a Trapper Creek Constabulary but nobody else would go for it. Should have joined Fish and Game, but knew too many salmon poachers. Anyways, still regret not getting a Thompson just like Vic Morrow's on Combat.
