I recall reading of a Marine at Guadalcanal did something similar tho I cannot recall his name offhand. The one who ended up holding a Browning .30 caliber machine gun in his arms as he kept fighting the Japs.

The amazing thing about Basilone is not only that he did that, but that the action he died in would have probably won him a posthumous MOH if he hadn’t already had one.
