Ok well I've always been fascinated by WWII and many things about it including the weapons, and I was thinking to myself what if Indy needed a rifle? See if your on an expedition through a Jungle or mountain etc... you would eventually need a way to hunt food or need a rifle to protect against wild natives (after all this is the world of Indiana Jones we're talking about 
)
Well He's probably going to have a back-pack on with plenty of supplies, his Mk VII Gasmask bag, a machete, and of course his trusty revolver. Though sometimes a revolver just won't cut it! You'll need something a little stronger and more accurate. So what type of rifle would Indy take? First we need to know that Indy would probably take something light and easy to carry. Something he can easily store in his back-pack. Well assuming this is after WWII, there is a gun I found. It is light, it has a foldable stock, has decent firepower and can get the job done, The gun is the M1 Carbine, (paratrooper model)
When it folds it looks like this,
It was used by American Paratroopers during WWII because it was lightweight and could pack a punch. The standard issue rifle for the Non paratrooper was the M1 Garand but it weighed to much and was to large for the paratroopers. So they made the M1 Carbine.
I think it is a good choice for an Indy gun what do you guys think?

Of course it'd need to be a shorter/carbine version, for ease of storage & carry, but it just seems like he'd have something like that.
