M 1 GarandThe M1 Garand is a semi-automatic combat rifle that originated in the United States in the 1930's. Nearly six million were produced, and it was the main service rifle in the United States during World War II and the Korean War. During World War II, it gave American soldiers an advantage because they were the only ones armed with a semi-automatic rather than a bolt-action battle rifle. According to George S. Patton?, it is "the greatest battle implement ever devised". It uses .30-'06 ammunition in 8 round clips. When the last round is fired, the clip ejects with a characteristic "ping" sound. References
