Fort Jackson Soldiers Begin
Practice With Garand MI Rifle

the fact that an unusual amount Of
interest and enthusiasm is being
displayed.
Here's n fact all the men dis
covered-some to their sorrow: the
new MI rifle kicks like a mule. Its
recoil is even more powerful than
that of the old Springfield M19O3
rifle.
The increased kick is attributed
to the fact that the rifle has a
cylinder a n d piston running the
length Of tn e barrel which flies
back each time the piece is fired.
The back-and-forth motion of the
piston is the force which elects the
empty cartridge, inserts a new one,
and cocks the rifle. Thus, it is only
necessary for the rifleman to pull
the trigger for each shot.
Various means have been tried by
the soldiers to protect their Shout.
ders and chins from the discharge
recoil, such as sewing a folded
handkerchief inside the coat, but
few are of any great value. They
are simply instructed to grip the
weapon as tight as possible to escape
most of the kick.
Among the advantages Of the MI
over the Springfield is that the
soldier does not have to change his
sight and position after each shot
in order to work the bolt. There.
fore, firing is now more accurate at
short distances and is less fatiguing.
