Here s What You Need to Know: Only the M1 Garand proved to be successful
There is no denying that the United States military’s M1 Garand was truly the best of the main battle rifles used in the Second World War. Whereas the other powers largely relied on bolt action rifles that were essentially little improved versions of what had been carried in the trenches of World War I, the American soldier and marine had some semi-automatic firepower.
Yet the M1 Garand wasn’t the only semi-automatic weapon employed in the war and both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany employed semi-autos. However, they were no M1 Garand, and it is doubtful Gen. George S. Patton would have called those attempts “the greatest battle implement ever devised.”
