M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is an American semi automatic Full Powered Rifle that was used in WWII. The Garand is one of the most iconic rifles of all time for being the standard-issue American rifle during WWII as well as being the first widely adopted self loading rifle into military service. Originally designed to be chambered for an "intermediate" round - .276 Pederson - the design was changed to only accept .30-06 Springfield, and as a result of this, the en bloc clips could only carry eight rounds instead of the original ten.

In game, the M1 Garand is a rare spawn rifle on the map, usually spawning with 2-4 8 round "magazines". The iron sights on the M1 Garand are above average for long range shooting, being large and open makes it easy to focus and aim at a target. For even better long range accuracy, the unique M84 scope can be mounted to the Garand. Recoil is average, but quite manageable if you do not shoot at the maximum rate of fire. Because of this, the M1 Garand is almost easily the best semi automatic rifle, only being held back by it's low ammo availability and not ideal iron sights for close range.

The M1 used to be the only weapon which could equip the Scope M84. This was changed in an update on the 4th of July.
