I was never issued a handgun while in service, few would be so probably not appropriate for US service anyway. I was never issued a bayonet either which always seemed peculiar but as we were not a combat unit, that may be why. We flew into Saudi Arabia with rifles but no ammo and turned them in to our makeshift armory within two days. Took a while longer to get rid of the gas masks but they were eventually turned in also. Most wouldn't have compasses either but I rated one for being a platoon leader.
