The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle that uses a gas-operated mechanism to cycle its action. When a round is fired, gas from the fired cartridge is diverted through a port in the barrel, driving a piston that operates the bolt to eject the spent casing and chamber a new round from the eight-round en-bloc clip. This design allows for faster follow-up shots compared to bolt-action rifles. The M1 Garand was notable for its reliability and accuracy, becoming the standard issue rifle for the U.S. military during World War II and the Korean War.
