TOP 10 Combat Rifles - YouTube
CORRECTIONS: Staying generally within the 20th century and until today...
1. Roll M14 in with M1 Garand as the "noted descendant."
2. Roll M1903 Springfield in with Mauser 98 as the "pinnacle of its development."
3. Fill resultant empty spaces with the SKS as the "most widely still-used World War 2 rifle" and the M1/M2 Carbine, due to massive numbers and continued widespread use.
