British & Inter-allied Commandos Weapons Teams

By their nature as specialist raiders, Commandos go to battle lightly equipped in terms of weaponry. However, they made good use of Vickers K machine guns – formerly aircraft-mounted machine guns – with their high rate of suppressive fire. These 2-man teams consist of a Vickers K gunner and his No 2, who carries extra ammunition.

While marksmanship was a vital skill for all Commandos, those with a special aptitude for accuracy and field craft were often employed as snipers. In the early days of the organization, snipers were employed on a more ad-hoc basis; later in the war, they, along with their scoped rifles, were specifically listed in Commando tables of organization and equipment. In addition to being used for scouting and attacking enemy forces, snipers were also deployed in pairs on landing craft to target enemy defenders during amphibious assaults and raids.

For the assault on Normandy in June 1944, Commandos were issued backpack flamethrowers to clear fortified positions on the beaches. The Flamethrower, Portable, Mk 2 carried enough fuel for approximately 10 one-second bursts and was quickly discarded after the initial stages of the assault.
