The rifle that made the biggest difference on the battle field? It would have to be either the Henry or the Spencer. These two rifles were the most advanced in history, when compared to what the other side was carrying. Tom.

M1 Garande without a doubt. More Japanese and Germans were taken single handedly with that rifle then any other.

ORIGINAL: Aught Six

The M1A is the semi-auto counterpart to the M14, which is superior IMHO. It takes all of the great features of the M1 and corrects some of the "problems" by add a detachable high-cap magazine andselect-fire capability. TheM1comes in a close second.

Brother, you left out the AK and FAL, the two most prolific battle rifles. Had to go M1 from the list.

I'll have to agree with General George S. Patton Jr.'s famous quote; "In my opinion, the M1 Rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised."

AK. Extremely reliable. Cheap to manufacture. Can be made by a chimp and still function flawlessly.
