===Misc=== * '''M1 / M2 Flamethrower''': The Americans use the flamethrower mainly in the jungles of the pacific or to clear out enemy bunkers. Using flamethrowers is mainly a pyschological weapon, as it takes a toll on the ones using it and scares the pants of the enemies who face it. That being said, the Japanese were oftentimes too stubborn to surrender, so using flamethrowers as a last resort to clear bunkers of enemy forces was not uncommon. * '''M7 Grenade Launcher''': A device that fitted onto the muzzle of the M1 Garand for firing rifle grenades. A clip of blank cartridges is inserted into the magazine, and an oversized grenade is fitted onto the M7 Device, and then fired. Unlike Bolt action rifles, the M1 needed a way to vent off excess gas to keep it from going back into the action and causing a malfunction, so vents were included on the device to prevent the M1 from cycling while in use. This means that the user had to manually work the bolt for each grenade shot. A similar version was made for the M1 Carbine called the M8, though that one cracked the stock after repeated usage and if the heavy charge was used so it was a last resort weapon in practice. * '''C3''' - Plastic explosive, first invented by the Brits, and would later be developed into C4. Used mainly in demolitions and shape-charges.
