I served in the USN '72-'78
Destroyers Pacific Fleet
Small Arms Locker Included:
&
24 - 1911A1 .45 ACP Pistols
( Remington Rand and Ithaca WWII manufacutre )
12 - Remington 870 18 inch Bbl. Riot shotgun
* w/Parkerized finish - we had full length brass
* 00 buckshot roundsfor the seaborne environment.
12 - M14 with the selector taken off and set to semi-auto only
* and a synthetic stock for the seaborne environment
4 - M60 LMG in .308 is there any other cal. for the Mama 60?
Did this change for any other of yah sailors in the '80s '90s or into the present century ? I've always thought the replacement of the 1911 for the USN would be a low priority for the military budget.
I've heard the Marines sill use the 1911 in Iraq and afghanistan....
