Friday Gun Porn A Day Early: The M1 Garand
I will be on the road to Minneapolis Tomorrow bright and early for the Regional Gymnastic Meet that will be held at the U of M this weekend(NCAA Men's tournament is also going on at the same site if you are in the Twin Cities this weekend and like Gymnastics stop in)So I thought I would post the Friday Gun Porn a day early since I know it would be missed by some people really dear to me if I missed a Friday ;)
This week I give you the M1 Garand the main battle rifle of the United State Military for World War 2 and Korea. This the gun your Great Grandfather and or Grandfather carried ashore at Normandy and Iwo Jima. This is the gun that helped save the world from madmen like Hitler and Tojo
It fired the same .30-06 round as the 1903 Springfield rifle it replaced. It held 8 rounds that were loaded through the top of the weapon with a stripper clip. If fired only in Semi-Auto ie every time you pulled the tripper it fired one shot then you had to pull it again for the next shot.
This is a solid heavy gun I have shot these and they weigh a ton you could beat a Nazi to death with it and not hurt the gun. It was a real war club.
I do not own one but it is very high on my Need It list.
The First photo gives you a good view of the stripper clip that was used to load the gun.
You live in a free country pretty much because this gun. There is not much more you need to say.
I would rate this gun High on the Zombie Repellent list: It makes up for only carrying 8 rounds with its accuracy and stopping power and the fact you can grab it by the barrel and smash zombie heads with it when you run out of ammo ;)
You could go into battle with a lot of worse weapons than the M1
