Is there a website out there that lists all of the rifles fielded by ALL of the combatants in World War 2? A friend of mine has started a collection of surplus rifles, with a stated goal of "getting ALL of them". I got to thinking about that, and I'm curious as to just how many different ones there actually are. I get 4 for the USA (Garand, 1903, Johnson, M1 carbine), 6 for the USSR (M-38, M-44, M-91/30, SVT-38, SVT-40, AVP), Germany had to be 10 or so.....You get the idea!
I'm kind of limiting it to full and mid-size cartridges, since letting SMGs into the list would just get crazy.
