	*The Johnson LMG was the American equivalent to the FG-42. It loaded from the side and was better than the B.A.R, but had intricate parts, which gave it the same problems as many other German weapons. Still, the few that were issued were very popular because ''anything'' was better than the B.A.R. Late war paratroopers would carry the M1919A6, a medium machine gun crudely refitted into a bipod LMG.		*The Johnson LMG was the American equivalent to the FG-42.

Late war paratroopers would carry the M1919A6, the famous 30cal M1919 medium machine gun crudely refitted into a bipod LMG.

	*The M1 Carbine was intended only for secondary use, but its lighter weight made it ideal for Paratroops. However, troops often complained of a lack of stopping power, due to it shooting .30 instead of .30-06 like the Garand. The M1A1 had a collapsible wire stock to ease portability during the jump.		*The M1 Carbine was intended only for secondary use, but its lighter weight made it ideal for Paratroops.
