M1 Garand

The M1 Garand got its name from John Garand, who was a Canadian-American designer in 1928. The M1 Garand almost did not come into play as there was another man named Pederson, who was trying to build a .276 T3E2 rifle. The two rifles went through many test together and the .276 T3E2 rifle was leading the way. During the testing of the two rifles, Army Chief of Staff General Douglas McArthur, was against changing the rifle because they had too many .30 M1 ammunition in stock. On February 25, 1932

IntroI am doing this report on the M1 Garand for Mr.Walker 182's History Class. The Garand is a fascinating World War II semi-automatic rifle.

Saving Private Ryan Saving Private Ryan portrays the experiences of the mysterious captain John Miller and his army ranger Squad. The story accurately depicts what could have happened to a comparable unit mission shown had actually existed. No Saving Private Ryan character ever existed. Furthermore, it is unlikely that Saving Private Ryan’s mission ever would have been ordered. The mission shown is improbable because United States army sole survivor policy “is applicable only in peacetime.”

What types of guns did they use in world war II. The m1911 is one of the guns that they used during world war II which was the standard-issue handgun in combat for the United States. There were a lot of ways they used it during world war II. The weapon had its origin in problems encounted by the American army in which the standard .38” cailber revolvor was found to be unsuitable.

Rifles that continue to fire at high rate are not only formidable weapons

For this weeks reflection assignment I will be using chapter two in the AFY 100 textbook as well as the video changing a gas block. Chapter two of the AFY 100 textbook covers the development of gun sights. I will start off by covering the video about how to change a gas block. In the video the instructor removes the A2 gas block and installs a modular gas block. This was a helpful video because I think the At style rifles are gaining more ground in the firearms community. Its no longer all about

ully aware of what was already at stake for the Ryanite efforts in the Dweller world, DHvKA and Dritte Zug decided to make their move on the 23rd of September, together with a detachment from the Nightingales of Action Andy. Their first area of operation was a closely aligned trinity of Dweller cities built around each other, located somewhere in Southern California. Goldfield North, Goldfield Center and Goldfield South were their names, but because of their short proximity to each other, they were

The shoreline loomed ominously in the distance. I could faintly make out the gray concrete fortifications that sat on top of the colossal jagged cliff, barely visible through the haze of the early morning fog that enveloped the coast of German-controlled France. I could see the Nazi flag waving slowly with the ever gentle breeze. I looked down at my watch, its hands seeming to move in slow motion. It was 06:30. My company commander ordered our assault craft forward. The boat cut through the waves
