Also the M1911, in use by the US military since 1911. John Browning really knew how to design guns. The Lee–Enfield too shows up occasionally in modern situations, designed in 1895, although most who still using it are like guerilla terrorist types.
There's also a lot of copies of the Mauser C96 floating around in the world, still in use.
The M1911 sucks though. People only use them because they have brainworms about .45 outperforming 9mm. Almost everyone uses modern double stack 9mm pistols now.
The M1911 is definitely not a regular weapon in the US military. They probably still have a bunch but they replaced it as the standard pistol with the M9 a few decades ago.
Bro the browning .50 cal machine gun the US military uses has been in service since like 1920.

My understanding is that the Marines only finally gave up their 1911 variant in 2018 with the military standardized on the Sig 320.
I think they're just finally getting a credible replacement for the M2 .50cal in the last few years.
