1911’s in ww1 had something called hammer bite, where your hand could be nipped by the hammer as it was pushed down. If you look closely, you can also see that ww1 era 1911s lacked the cutouts near the trigger, and had a flat mainspring housing
The Thompson was actually planned to used for US troops in WW1 but the war ended so there was a surplus of them, local gangstas found these guns and put them to use, but that's just a tale that I've heard
I as well need to point out that the Mosin Was actually loved by much soldiers even though the bolt was clunky, it is a legendary gun still used today and this thing has been in more wars than your great great grand father.
The Mosin Nagant rifle was designed in 1891, and later updated to the M91/30 rifle, along with different carbine versions like the M38 and M44. So it has been around a lot longer than just WW2.

Fun fact about the lee enfield, it remained in service until 2018 when the canadian mountain rangers finally retired it for a seperate bolt action I believe. The Lee Enfield operated very well in cold environments, which is exactly what the mt rangers operated in.
It was brought in at the end of the war, and trust me, as someone who owns one, that thing is way to fucking heavy compared to other rifles in the war, especially with its original stock
