Having heard from many different sources that this is the most realistic movie of it's type, I'd like to know if the soldiers would have been armed as they were in the movie.
The Captain (Hanks) with a Thompson sub machine gun.
The Sergeant with a M1 carbine.
One member of the squad with the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle).
One sniper with ? (I don't know bolt action rifles very well).
The rest of squad with M1 Garands.
I guess the Captain with the Thompson and the Sergeant with the carbine just kind of surprised me. Might be because of their rank they were able to arm themselves as they wished--I don't know and would like to, thanks.
