[QUOTE="gillman7, post: 1298173, member: 2784"] Most people have the mindset of being on the run and surviving, look for massive firepower, I always think of Castner's Cuthroats, that lived and fought with a 22 pistol, and a M1 Garand. The main reason they had the Garand was for the enemy, not necessarily to survive. [I][COLOR="SlateGray"][B]Equipment Standard issue for Castner's Cutthroats was a Trapper Nelson pack, hunting knife, .22LR caliber target pistol and a sniper rifle, instead of the standard issue Springfield rifle, or M1 Garand. However, when it came to firearms, personal preference was the deciding factor. Al Brattain, a crack shot, preferred the M1 Garand because its reduced recoil did not spoil his aim. Trapper Nelson packs held all their supplies for their long mountainous treks. They lived off the land, which allowed them to stay light, unlike most military units of the time.
