The M1 Garand rifle was the standard infantry rifle for the US Army and US Marines before and after the Second World War. The M1 Garand was issued in 1936 and by the year 1941, it became the standard frontline weapon in almost any branch of service. By 1945 huge quantities were avalible (near the war's end). The rifle fired .30 caliber rounds from an 8-shot clip. It's only setback was that all bullets needed to be discharged before you could reload to a fresh clip. | The M1 Garand rifle was the standard infantry rifle for the US Army and US Marines before and after the Second World War.
