List of the United States Army weapons by supply catalog designation

This is a historic (index) list of United States Army weapons and materiel, by their Standard Nomenclature List (SNL) group and individual designations — an alpha-numeric nomenclature system used in the United States Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalogues used from about 1930 to about 1958. The explains that the "Index of Standard Nomenclature Lists (...) covers – by groups, and subdivisions of groups – all classes of equipment and supplies, assigned to the Ordnance Department for procurement, storage, issue, and maintenance." The designations in this Wikipedia list represent so-called "major items". For each of the major items, there were separate, designated "Standard Nomenclature Lists" — extensive parts catalogs for supply and repair purposes.

In essence, the index was a list of lists. There could be numerous volumes, changes, and updates under each single item designation.

According to the Corps' Ordnance Publications for Supply Index of July 1943: Groups 'A' through 'N' covered "General Ordnance Supplies"; including group 'F' (Fire control, and sighting material), and group 'G' (Tank / Automotive materiel) Groups 'P' through 'T' covered "Ammunition" – for which there was an additional AIC code Group 'Z' was for "Captured Enemy Material", and Group 'OGS' indicated "Obsolete General Supplies". Group "Y", for 'Guided Missiles, guidance and control, launching, transporting, radio-controlled, and handling material, was added after July 1943
