## **Medal of Honor M1 Garand Informations**

The **M1 Garand** is an American-made service rifle. Officially, it replaced the M1903/A5 Springfield rifle as the primary U.S. service rifle in 1937, though the latter still saw use throughout and beyond World War II, and was replaced by the M14 battle rifle. Firing in the same caliber as the Springfield, .30-06, it deals almost the same damage and has almost the same accuracy when fired slowly, allowing the barrel to settle. It is semi-automatic, making it faster than a bolt action, has peep sights, making it easier and faster to line up targets than older leaf sights with a large front sight to assist in aiming, and reloads via an 8-round en-bloc clip, which allows it to be reloaded more quickly than magazine fed rifles and stripper clip rifles, and it's gas operation reduces the recoil compared to bolt action rifles. It also has more rounds available in a single clip than most other rifles. All in all, the M1 Garand was the most technologically advanced battle rifle for the majority of the war until the German Sturmgewehr 44 was put into service. The **M1 Garand** is featured in the original Medal of Honor. It was usable in Underground in one multiplayer weapon set. It is the very first weapon in the series that player uses. It has a low fire rate, and does good damage, able to take out an enemy in 2 hits to the chest or 1 head shot. The ammunition is easy to pick up from dead enemies. What's unique about the Garand featured in these two games is that it has something the other M1s in the series doesn't have, the ability to reload mid-clip, giving it more authenticity. Strangely, the original game is the only game to use the ability to reload mid-clip, as the rest of the games seem to have the weapon with only being able to reload once the entire clip is empty. M1 can also be used as a melee weapon, but is possible only when the entire ammunition is empty, as with other several weapons - it takes only 3-4 hits to enemy; in practice, it is not much usable in combat as the enemies are deadly in fight and can hurt player severely, unless the player uses some cheats to ease the situation.

In original game, it was starting weapon in missions Rescue the G3 Officer, Attack the Impenetrable Fort Schmerzen and Capture the Secret German Treasure.

## **M1 Garand Officials Informations**

The M1 Garand is a .30 caliber semi-automatic rifle that was the U.S. service rifle during World War II and the Korean War (it also saw limited service during the Vietnam War). Most M1 rifles were issued to U.S. forces, though many hundreds of thousands were also provided as foreign aid to American allies during the Cold War, from the 1950s onwards. The Garand is still used by drill teams and military honor guards. It is also widely used by civilians for hunting, target shooting, and as a military collectible.

The M1 replaced the bolt action M1903 Springfield as the standard U.S. service rifle in the mid 1930s, and was itself replaced by the select fire M14 rifle in the early 1960s.

The M1 rifle was named after its designer John Garand. It was the first standard-issue semi-automatic military rifle. By all accounts the M1 rifle served with distinction. General George S. Patton called it "the greatest battle implement ever devised".

Although the name "Garand" is frequently pronounced /ɡəˈrænd/, according to experts and people who knew John Garand, the weapon's designer, /ˈɡærənd/ (to rhyme with errand) is preferred.

It Should be noted that M1 Garand has entered the numerous fascinating experiment to improve its system:

* Another version of M1 Garand, designated as T26 and M1E5 was released in European and Pacific theatre, which popularly known as 'Tanker Garand'. In order to increase short-to-medium range ability, M1 Garand barrel was shortened by 18"(457mm), and folding stock later adapted in M1E5 where T26 keep its original buttstock. One of its version was used at operation in Philippines by 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment, although T26 was not approved for mass production due of excessive fouling in the gas system, loud and flashy muzzle brake. This problem was considered too expensive to solve and later scrapped the 'Carbine Garand' project after the surrender of German and the victory in Pacific Theater.
	+ 'Tanker' Garand request was came from famous US Lieutnant General James Gavin, where on his first jump in Sicily he faced jamming issue on his M1 Carbine. As of result, Gavin and the other paratroopers commander was dissatisfied with its underpowered performance and technical issue. He demanded the shorter version of M1 Garand rifle after took it from wounded soldier during operation.
* The experimental selective-fire M1 Garand, designated as T20E2, uses M1918 BAR Magazine instead of en-bloc clip. The standard BAR Magazine cannot be used in T20E2 rifle, and redesigned it to be compatible with T20E2. It can both fired semi or full-automatic with RoF at 700 round/min. The project was stopped after War in Europe is over, and Japanese Forces was surrendered. Even so, T20E2 component had been examined for further research and later its system was implemented for most successful battle rifle ever produced, M14(Known as T44E4).
* Some of another experiment of M1 Garand using a bullpup mechanism system called T31 Rifle in april 6th, 1949. The weight of itself was 8,7 pound(3,9 kg). Instead using handguard, T31 preferred gas tube similar like Lewis Machine Gun. In addition, it uses BAR magazine which used by T20E2 in earlier experiment. However, the system itself had a major flaw; the tube deposit 3 grains of carbon residue from each round fired. The second experiment would be implemented by using a conventional gas piston system, but soon the project was automatically terminated due the John Garand's retirement.
* The Dutch most oldest small arms and artillery manufacturer, Artillerie-Inrichtingen(AI) converted US-Supplied M1 Garand to accept detachable magazine. Although the conversion is same as Italy does on their RF BM59, the dutch converted M1 Garand preferred AR-10 Waffle Magazine as they involved to manufacture AR-10 for NATRES(Dutch's National Reserve Corps), Portuguese Paratroopers, and Sudanese Armed Forces(SAF). Unlike the BM59 does, the AI-Version M1 Garand never went into prototype stage.
