M1941 Johnson
From Medal of Honor
The M1941 Johnson Light Machine Gun was adopted by the United States military during the early years of WWII. While not used as much as the BAR, the Johnson saw success in the hands of the United States marines and by various special forces, such as the 1st Special Service Force (or Devil's Brigade). In 1944, Johnson improved the LMG by giving it a tubular steel butt, but it made few sales.
After WWII, the M1944 was coped by the emerging Israeli arms industry as the Dror. However, it was soon abandoned because it frequently jammed in a desert climate.

In Pacific Assault, the Johnson is a beast, able to take out enemy troops with two shots to the torso. It has good accuracy, making it easy to take out medium-range targets. It's only downfall is it's 20 round magazine, but that can be compensated for by staying back, this giving you a safe location to reload from. When you get this weapon in single-player, never get rid of it!
Of note is that the Johnson is only available in the DVD version of the game, and will not appear in multiplayer. In single player mode, you'll spawn with it in the level right after you retake Henderson Field.
