WWII: annual production of rifles and carbines 1939-1945, by country

Throughout the Second World War, approximately 27 million rifles and carbines were produced by the major powers after they had officially joined the war. The United States and USSR each produced over 12 million rifles and carbines, while the Germans produced over 10 million. Japan and the United Kingdom produced significantly fewer rifles and carbines during the war, however differences in production correlate somewhat to manpower around 1943. The UK was also the only power to produce more machine pistols than rifles or carbines, manufacturing around four million machine pistols compared to just 2.5 million rifles and carbines.

在整个第二次世界大战期间，随着主要国家正式参战，约2700万支步枪和卡宾枪被生产出来。美国和苏联各自生产了超过1200万支步枪和卡宾枪，而德国则生产了超过1000万支。日本和英国在战争期间生产的步枪和卡宾枪数量显著较少，然而生产量的差异与1943年左右的人力资源密切相关。英国是唯一一个生产的手枪数量超过步枪或卡宾枪的国家，其生产了大约400万支手枪，而步枪和卡宾枪的总产量仅为250万支。
