Next time you watch Sergeant York (1941 Howard Hawk movie starring Gary Cooper) watch the scene he empties his rifle and does not have time to reload.He pulls out his pistol and kills the German Soldiers charging him. The pistol in Gary Coopers hand is a German Luger P-08. Alvin York carried a Colt M1911 during WWI. Also Gary Cooper is shooting a Springfield 1903 during battle. Alvin York was actually issued a US version of the British Lee Enfield rifle.
