In Ten Firearms 8 THE M1 GARAND “In my opinion the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.”—General George S. PattonIn the early morning of August 18, 1942, Army Corporal Franklin “Zip” Koons was woken by a spray of water from the English Channel and the drone of airplanes in the distance. He jumped up.One of the men with him put his hand out to steady him.“Get ready, Yank,” said the man, a British commando. “The beach is ahead.”Corporal Koons took a deep breath, then ran his han...ds over his rifle as he pulled himself to his feet in the boat. The weapon’s wood was sleek and almost oily with the spray of the sea. It was a new gun: an M1 semi-automatic that fired eight shots, before reloading. The commandos were jealous.Or would be, if it successfully proved itself. No one had used one in combat before.Koons checked to make sure it was loaded—probably the twentieth time since he’d set out—then fixed his eyes on the shadows ahead. Two British Spitfires buzzed to his left and began firing.
