M1 "Garand"

Description

The standard American rifle throughout most of WWII and the first semi-automatic battle rifle to see service. The M1 has an internal magazine into which eight-round clips are inserted from the top, with the bolt retracted. When the last round of a clip is fired, the action will eject the empty clip into the air with a loud ping, announcing to all who can hear it that the rifle is out of ammunition.
