The enemy countered with each and everyone of their infantrymen being armed with an AK-47; also a fully automatic capable rifle.
M1 Carbine Or M1 Garand
No. The M1 was replaced in 1957 by the M-14, though the Garand was in combat until the mid 1960's when it was officially retired from combat.
Yes, so long as it isn't an m5a1 and is the 1905 model you should be fine.
No, it's a bit more complicated than that. It does, however, use the action from the Garand.
The M1 Garand was the standard issue rifle of US forces during the Second World War. However, the issue of the M1 hadn't been fully implemented at the onset of the war, so many units (particularly in the Pacific) were still equipped with the M1903, and a number of the Iver Johnson rifles were also issued throughout the Armed Forces in order to supplement the Garand.
