It goes without saying that the US Army is continuously testing and adding new weapons to its arsenal.

For example, the Army recently began issuing its new M17 and M18 pistols to soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. At the same time, the sidearms are still not standard issue.

While the Army continues to stay ahead of the game, it undoubtedly has a multitude of weapons for its soldiers.

And we compiled a list of all these standard issue weapons operable by individual soldiers below, meaning that we didn't include, for example, the Javelin anti-tank missile system because it takes more than one person to operate, nor did we include nonstandard issue weapons.
