Не менее интересно посмотреть на вооружение стрелкового взвода (т.е. непосредственно перволинейные бойцы), где можно увидеть, что карабином вооружены всего пять человек из 46.
И оттуда же:
"By late-1943 the semi-automatic .3D-cal. MI Garand rifle had replaced the boltaction .30-cal. MI903 Springfield in most FMF units. Telescope-fitted '03s were used as sniper rifles and for a brief period one was retained in each rifle squad with an MI grenade launcher. The M7 grenade launcher for the MI rifle had not yet been widely issued. Springfields were still used by ships' detachments, Marine barracks and detachments guarding naval installations, and FMF service units.
The .30-cal. MI carbine began to be widely issued to officers, weapons crewmen, radio operators, drivers, and headquarters and service personnel as a personal defense weapon. Not a single pistol was issued to members of infantry and artillery regiments, although .4S-cal. MI9II and MI91IAI Colt pistols were assigned to other units. The carbine lacked knockdown power and penetration
through vegetation, and sounded like the Japanese 6.Smm rifle. Few were used by rifle units other than by officers and heavy-weapon crewmen. The M8 grenade launcher for the carbine was issued in early-1944".
