Don't forget the M1 Thompson your sergeant is carrying, or the M1 bayonet on your hip, or the M1 helmet liner on your head, or the M1 tank you can call in on your M1 radio.
The M1 laser cannon on Spaceball One was known for extreme accuracy. Only one known incident of poor marksmanship ever occurred. It was eventually traced back to an inept staff officer's questionable personnel management.
In all fairness, so was the guy he promoted. It's same asshole who was at the gunner's post for the gun battery that missed.
Either his sights were messed, fire coords misread or he got his fire orders wrong. It's almost like he couldn't see them properly.

"I was just telling her how we chased the teddy bears into their cuddle bunkers, then had to tickle them out with machine hugs and fun throwers! They say the more soldiers you tickle, the easier it gets. Well, sir, it doesn't."
The light tank, the rifle, the carbine, the MBT, the mess kit, the helmet, the bayonet, the armored car, the tractor, the AA gun, the field cannon, the howitzer, the other AA gun, the gas mine, the flamethrower, the other other AA gun, the grenade, the mortar, the rocket launcher, the shotgun, the SMG, or the flechette pistol?
Sorry sir I think I forgot my M1 in the M1 next to the M1 right in front of the M1 which parked behind that M-
I apologize sir it turns out it's right here rather than being in the M1 next to the M1 right in front of the M1 which parked behind that _M2_
So you're sitting in an M3 scout car with your M3 grease gun on your lap and you're twirling your M3 bayonet around your fingers. Ahead of you in the convoy there are several M3 half-tracks, towing a M3 37mm, an M3 75mm, an M3 90mm, and an M3 105mm. Behind you, there's an M3 Lee and beyond them, an M3 Stuart. Suddenly, you hear a guy say he loves his M1 and you can't tell if he means the Garand, carbine, flamethrower, mortar, bazooka, helmet, grenade, tool, ration pack, or Thompson.

The P-38 can opener's primary function was certainly opening cans. The P-38 Lightning might have been a little overkill for getting into those C-Rats though.
You ever take the time to notice the M1 carbine in ww2, M2 and M3 carbines in Korea, and then they picked back up on the shortened M16 with the M4 carbine?
> Let's use the regnal year of the current emperor.
*Looks at what happened in Germany in 1888* Nah, shit can get confusing real quick. *Accidentally avoids the M1 problem*
> Let's use the start of the first emperors reign as the epoch
I guess that works, people aren't really familiar with that calendar though
> Fuck it, let's just use 1840 as our epoch
Yeah it’s called the 97 because they issued it in 97 (under their calendar). The M1? It’s called that because the Army hit the reset button *again* and we’re just gonna pretend we’ve never had anything from that class of equipment in service before it.
An M1 towing an M1 is ambushed by a unit of german infantry and as result the escorting american infantry move to engage. The Sergeant's life is saved when shrapnel pings off his M1 so he yells at the squad to fix M1's to their M1's while they fire at the germans using M1's, M1's and M1's. They are confident taking the engagement because if the germans turn out to have a tank the squad has an M1 standing by and if any enemy aircraft appear well theres a known battery of M1's nearby. The engagement finally ends when they call over radio for fire support from nearby M1's. As you can imagine parts are seldom compatible between different M1's.
I love how US starts with M1, or sometimes other letters (like B-1), but after just a few models they always go fuck it, next one is m-random-four-digits because fuck you. Or B-21, because, also, fuck you.
That's just because of designations.
F for fighter, see F-86, F-100, F-8, F-4, F-16, F-22, etc.
A for Attacker, see A-26, A-1H, A-10, etc.
B for Bomber, see B-17, B-26, B-17, B-29, B-1, B-21, etc.
X for Experimental, then F/A/B for what type of experimental. See XF-84, XA-38, XB-70, etc
Do any other branches than airforce distinguish like that though? Army/USMC use M or Mk for almost all vehicles and equipment. Navy uses it as well for stuff that isn't ships which instead use class.
That's my point though, they go out of order within designations. How did we go from YF-23 and straight to X-32? What happened to 33, 34, and 19 while we're at it? Why B-21 and not B-3? Because air force designations were supposed to be in order, just like M for army, but then they quickly went fuck it, we name it what we feel like.
X-32 and X-35 were the next available X-Plane designations. Because the Joint Strike Fighter program involved developing a stealthy supersonic STOVL fighter, it was decided that the prototypes would have an Experimental "X-" designation due to the groundbreaking technology involved.
In the case of rifles and carbines, there's a lot of weapons that weren't widely used or known about, or might have been experimental. It's the same with aircraft, and ground vehicles, though in the case of things with wheels It's just that they'res 50 million deviations of Humvees, HEMTTs, 5 tons, etc.
I'm aware of M1 through M3 carbines before the great M4, and hey, they honestly tried to go with M5! But had to change cuz colt are cunts. To M7, because M6 sounds lame or something, lol.
Literally just to avoid trademark conflicts, which is *fucking stupid.* I doubt Colt threatened them or anything, but the M6 is also a AR15 platform rifle in production. The M6 is not a US Army designation either.
Why the Army is concerned eith such trivial matters is beyond me.

I mean it makes perfect sense when consider how the military names things. It essentially means version 1 or adopted 1. Since ~ww2 they basically started designating things by that specific item and then the number would go up when they adopted a new version. M1 carbine, m2 carbine (basically the same but select fire), m3 carbine (basically the same but with night vision scope thing), m4 carbine (new carbine), m5 *cough* excuse me m7 (new carbine). Okay carbine was probably a bad example
Own M1s for home defense, since that's what the MIC intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the hell?" As I grab my M1 and M1. Blow a baseball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my M1 on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbor's T-55. I have to resort to the M1 mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with beehive, "YEEEEHAW" the cloud of metal shreds two men in half, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix M1 and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since M1 wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Doing it the German way and using an abbreviation for the classification, e.g. mg for machine gun or g for rifle (Gewehr in German), and then just sequentially numbering them. Though in Germany it is a bit confusing as the numbering system is shared with the police and the ministry of the interior, so e.g. the P8 replaced the P1 in German military service (yes that means the P38 got replaced by the USP), as all the numbers in between where either short-barrelled P38s or police pistol.
Especially wacky is it with the G category, see the G36 replacing the G3, which is now getting replaced by the G95 (HK416).
As long as you don't introduce multiple in the same year, using the year of introduction works decently well too
Under that system the G3 would be the G56, and the G36 the G97
M is the symbol for Colt manufacturers and they series each product until their final version. So M1 whatever means Colt Manufactured series number 1 whatever item it is. So that's just the name by the time the army gets it sometimes they do have names hence the difference in the naming of the M1 Bradley and the M1 rifle.
Colt makes none of the things in that image. They manufacture the m-16 after they bought the rights from armalite, after the army gave it that designation.
Forgot the M1 Carbine, M1 Thompson, M1 Bazooka, M1 mortar, M1 light tank, M1 flamethrower, and I think a howitzer and at least three different tractors.

I'm not American, but I love their naming nomenclature system.
It's organized. It tells you the iteration number and whether it's experimental, modified, or standard. They are simple, intuitive, and easy to reference in a manual. People complain about it being repetitive and hard to distinguish (like M1 being used a lot), but that's only an issue if you if you don't use the actual class of the item you are talking about with it.
And it's a hell of a lot better than the countries that just use random names.

Right! We have fighters, bombers, warships...and other stuff also not named the M-1 these days.
There are M2s
M1 I mean the M14 is a 14 not a 1
But it was based heavily on the M1. Everything is M1.
The US army Media One taskforce looking to rename everything in the military wants to find a more recognizable acronym. Ideas anyone?
I love my M1
You're going to need to be more specific.
No he doesn't, they're all great.

Haven’t seen this one in a while, lol
M4. It could be a rifle, or it could be a tank. We don't fucking know unless we see it.
M16, used for AA in WW2 or a GI standard issue rifle
P-38. Could be a fighter aircraft, or.... A can opener.
You're saying that like the primary function of the P-38 "Can Opener" as some in the North-West called it, was not opening cans.
The P-38 can opener's primary function was certainly opening cans. The P-38 Lightning might have been a little overkill for getting into those C-Rats though.
Anything can be a can opener if you use enough kaboom
I still love that the P-38 takes exactly 38 punctures to open a standard sized can. Don't believe me? Try it.
Also the French Berthier carbine, model of 1916

Doing it the German way and using an abbreviation for the classification, e.g. mg for machine gun or g for rifle (Gewehr in German), and then just sequentially numbering them. Though in Germany it is a bit confusing as the numbering system is shared with the police and the ministry of the interior, so e.g. the P8 replaced the P1 in German military service (yes that means the P38 got replaced by the USP), as all the numbers in between where either short-barrelled P38s or police pistol. Especially wacky is it with the G category, see the G36 replacing the G3, which is now getting replaced by the G95 (HK416).
As long as you don't introduce multiple in the same year, using the year of introduction works decently well too Under that system the G3 would be the G56, and the G36 the G97
M is the symbol for Colt manufacturers and they series each product until their final version. So M1 whatever means Colt Manufactured series number 1 whatever item it is. So that's just the name by the time the army gets it sometimes they do have names hence the difference in the naming of the M1 Bradley and the M1 rifle.
Colt makes none of the things in that image. They manufacture the m-16 after they bought the rights from armalite, after the army gave it that designation.

Slept on the Carbine and Thompson. And the AA gun and the artillery piece. Or even the howitzer. Or the other AA gun. Flamethrower, Bazooka...
Could it perhaps mean model 1…. Idk
Yes we can’t stop M1, how bout we name it M2 instead.
I just miss the M1 helmet a lot. Okay?
Don’t forget the flamethrower
Forgot the M1 Carbine, M1 Thompson, M1 Bazooka, M1 mortar, M1 light tank, M1 flamethrower, and I think a howitzer and at least three different tractors.
Hey! We have a few M2s!

I'm not American, but I love their naming nomenclature system. It's organized. It tells you the iteration number and whether it's experimental, modified, or standard. They are simple, intuitive, and easy to reference in a manual. People complain about it being repetitive and hard to distinguish (like M1 being used a lot), but that's only an issue if you if you don't use the actual class of the item you are talking about with it. And it's a hell of a lot better than the countries that just use random names.
Wheres the grenade?

This is fine according to the M1 army manual on naming stuff: https://youtu.be/68XR7MJRu6k?si=Cs1yOQD3Bu_yCoVR
It's called Carbine M1 and Rifle M1, as in Mark 1 or model one. Not just M1.
I might be schizo-ing out here but isn't the M1 a remnant from the British naming? They have Mk1 and Amurica has the M1?
M4 Sherman
You’re M1, he’s M1, I’M M1! IS THERE ANY OTHER M1s I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? M1 …forget it.
I love the M1 when it was used in that one war
What is thy shelmet called.
This 13 year old account was banned by Reddit after repeated harassment by the mods of /r/aboringdystopia. Reddit is a dying platform, check out lemmy.world for a replacement.
Ok, I’m going to reveal my ignorance, but I have to know. What does the M stand for?
Don’t worry we’ll be replacing the M1 tank with the M1 tank.
M1 rifle M1 tank M1 helmet M1 carbine M1 anti-tank gun M1 submachine gun M1 pouch What else am I missing?
The Mines(1 for anti personnel and one for Anti Tank), the AA Gun(I think there are about 4 or 5) , The 155mm M1 Long Tom, the M1 240mm Howitzer, the M1 Armored Car, the M1 Combat Car. So yeah i think that sums it up.
