| Decription |
| Officially adopted by the American army in 1932, America started the war as the
only country with a semi-automatic weapon as a standard-issue weapon. Despite
a shortage in M1 Garands, the weapon was issued to all frontline riflemen,
proving to be an effective weapon by providing accurate fire with a high rate
of fire, giving Americans the firepower advantage over German riflemen. Indeed,
the M1 Garand is one of the best combat rifles ever designed, and remained in
use in the Korean and Vietnam Wars in both its original and its M1C/M1D
sharpshooter variants. |
