M1 garand
The M1 Garand was first introduced in 1936 as the standard-issue rifle for the United States military. It was designed by John Garand, a Canadian-born engineer who worked for the Springfield Armory. The M1 Garand was a revolutionary design for its time, featuring a clip-fed gas-operated semi-automatic action that allowed for rapid fire without the need for manual cocking between shots.
