But then I am American. I prefer American over say, nazi or communist.
Just stating my opinion, after all it's a free country...because of the Garand.
Watch a documentry of a garand being fired in combat vs any other rifle of that era. Patton was right. In my opinion, the Garand was clearly superior to any other rifle in the fight. A platoon of GI's against a similar force with the Mauser or Ariska. Ask any WW2 vet. Ever hear of Audie Murphy?

I think the m1 should be #1.. It seems to be what a lot of other battle rifles are measured to. People on this forum compare new battle rifles to it in power and yards down range.
Its probably why the ak was invented.
