Roll call of US Army soldiers' 'hot items'
The US Army continues to test and add weapons to its arsenal.
The US Army recently began distributing new M17 and M18 pistols to soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.
The Army has a lot of weapons available to its soldiers. Business Insider has compiled a list of standard-issue weapons that individual soldiers are using. That said, the list does not include the Javelin anti-tank missile system, which requires more than one soldier to operate. The list also does not include non-standard-issue weapons.
