Blade Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) The M1Garand is a similar rifle to the M1Carbine used in WWII. The marines used both of them. Edited April 16, 2011 by Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yep, awesome gun. Probably the best all around gun in WWII. Here's an assignment for you. (Ask your dad what I do for a living.) Look up George Patton, and see what he had to say about the M1 Garand. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to carry one all around boot camp, but never got to shoot one. Shot one when I got to my 1st duty station, but we used them to shoot a line spool, not a bullet.
