Definitions for "garand"
A semiautomatic rifle, also called the M-1, used by soldiers of the U. S. army in World War II and Korea. It was the standard weapon issued to infantrymen.
(n.) Common name given to the U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1. Invented by John C. Garand, a civilian employee of the U.S. Army's Springfield Armory. Adopted in 1936, it became the first semiautomatic rifle adopted as the general issue weapon for any military force. It was the main U.S. military rifle during World War Two, and remained so until the early 1960s (although it was officially superseded in 1957 by a derivative, the M14). The Garand is gas-operated, feeds from an 8 shot magazine, and is loaded with an en bloc clip. During WW2, General George S. Patton referred to the M1 in a letter to Springfield Armory as "the greatest implement of battle ever devised." Note that the M1 Carbine is a completely different design and fires a different cartridge.
a pain to use as a single-shot, for example, and without those cheap little sheet-spring clips that's exactly what you have
