Why is the M1 Garand known as the “Greatest Battle Implement ever devised?”
General Patton knew that the M1 Garand gave the U.S. Infantry man an advantage over the enemy. His Armored units relied on infantry support so it was very important for those infantry units to have an advantage on the battlefield.
The M1 Rifle increased the effectiveness of an infantry Platoon. The Soldiers using the M1 Garand could fire on their foe with a semi-auto rifle, while most of them used bolt actions at the time. At 9lbs, it was way lighter than a BAR, but still fired 30-06. It was realiability tested and refined over quite a few years. The peep sights and overal design made it a decently accurate rifle. It was a simple design, which made it easy for the user to understand as well as make it easy to manufacture. In my opinion, the greatest feat was the American manufacturing of the time which enabled the Garand rifle to surpass 4 million units produced from 1936-1945.
