What rifle did marines use on Okinawa?

During the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, U.S. Marines primarily used the M1 Garand rifle. This semi-automatic rifle was favored for its reliability and firepower, allowing Marines to fire eight rounds without needing to reload. Some Marines also used the M1903 Springfield rifle, particularly in sniper roles, as well as various automatic weapons like the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle). The M1 Garand's effectiveness contributed significantly to the combat capabilities of the Marines during this intense battle.
