marksman badge
#10

Well, the army marksmanship badges were have been aound since the 1880`s and the WWII versions were probaly around since 1921. So it would depend on the time frame and what rifle was available for the qualification. Not all soldiers qualified with the M1, my dad qualified with the `03 Springfield, which was still in wide use for training. Small caliber rifles like the .22 cal was used extensively in training and also used for qualification.
