As I have said before I enjoy woodworking and making small
toys and carved items. Also as I have said I like collecting military items and was
wondering how I could combine both of these interests. My solution? Make accurate (or as much as possible)
replicas of the weapons. So far I have made only three weapons, the colt M1911,
a Thompson (or “Tommy” gun) M1A1, and an M-1 Garand self-loading rifle.
The M-1: This gun was the mast common weapon for the U.S soldier
during World War 2. It had semi-automatic fire and shot a 30.Cal bullet that
was carried in clips of 8. This gun was so successful that it was used in the
Korean War and Later in a modified form as the M-14 in the Vietnam War.
Here is the colt M-1911 it was the stander issue side arm
for the American soldier in world war 2 it fired a .45 bullet. First issued in
World War 1 this weapon is still in use today with the U.S.M.C
And last but not least the ever famous “Tommy” gun. This is
an iconic American weapon used by gangsters as well as Soldiers. I gave this
one to my brother for his birthday. (please note this one is not quit finished
as I had to hurry to get it made)
