One of the most recognizable rifles of all time, the M1 Garand was the standard issue rifle to all American troops during the Second World War. The rifle grenade, like the standard hand grenade, is great for taking out fortified positions, but has the added bonus of being able to be fired from a distance, making it ideal for taking out snipers and machine guns without having to get close. Firing from the barrel of a standard rifle, the rifle grenade can reach hundreds of feet, and if aimed properly, can be very accurate as well. The rifle grenade does the same thing that a regular hand grenade can do, except it can do it with greater accuracy over a far greater distance. Use them to clear rooms, machine gun positions, sniper positions, or against groups of the enemy. Grenades are a great way to cause a great deal of damage to a number of soldiers with minimal effort. Whether the enemy is advancing on your position, or you need to flush out a machine gun nest, throwing in a fragmentation grenade is the perfect way to do it without exposing yourself to fire. Since the First World War, grenades have become a pivotal addition to the arsenal of any soldier, and can be used in both defencive and offencive roles. Help your team mates by covering their movements with this, especially over large and expansive areas where there is little cover.

This is a weapon unique to the Assaulter class, although isn't a 'weapon' per say. The smoke grenade has no real damage-causing abilities, and is simply a defencive measure used to keep the squad alive. It's always quicker to pull out your sidearm rather than reloading, so if you've emptied out your magazine and the enemy is barrelling down on you, then pull out your 1911 and let 'em have it!Ī unique item to Day of Defeat: Source over the original Day of Defeat, the Assaulter class has the ability to lay down a smoke screen to mask his and his team's movements. The highly reliable and powerful sidearm was a favorite, and an essential, for American combatants during the war, and in a jam, you'll find it quite useful as well. The Colt 1911 is the longest-running production sidearm in US history, serving since before the American entrance into the First World War until the 1980s. The knife is a melee weapon, and only works if you're within a simulated arm's length of your opponent.

It's not often you'll be close enough to your enemy to give him a quick slash, but when you're in those tight situations, or are making an attempt at a stealthy kill, then this bad boy of American ingenuity will definitely not let you down. The US combat knife gives you brute force knuckle-dusters with a well-maintained double-edged blade.

Day of Defeat: Source brings you 24 of these weapons, ranging from standard rifles to the first assault rifles and modern machine guns the world had ever seen. There was a large variety of weapons used during the Second World War by all sides involved.
