The M-1 Garand rifle was the standard infantry rifle for the US Army and US Marines before and after the Second World War. The M-1 Garand was issued in 1936 and by the year 1941, it became the standard front line weapon in almost any branch of service. By 1945 huge quantities were available (near the war's end). The rifle fired .30 caliber rounds from an 8-shot clip. Its only setback was that all bullets needed to be discharged before a fresh clip could be loaded.
