The Nomenclature System

The B-List of the Standard Nomenclature System
During WWII the Ordnance Department divided the SNL up into different 'blocks.'  I am guessing the B block was for small arms.

SNL B Number Item
B-8 Bayonet, M1905, M1917 and M1; Bayo-Knife, M4
B-18 Pistol, Pyrotechnic, M2
B-21 Rifle, U.S., cal. .30 M1, M1C, M1D (Sniper's)
B-23 Pistol, Very, 10-gage, Mk. III and M5
B-24 Projector, signal, ground, M3 and M4
B-28 Carbine cal..30 M1, M1A1, M2 AND M3
B-33 Pistol, pyrotechnic, with Mount, AN-M8
B-34 Discharger, pyrotechnic, AN-M5
B-38 Projector, pyrotechnic, hand, M9
B-39 Launcher, grenade, M1 and M2, M7 and M8
