Cooper | \n“After examining the rusty, mud covered rifle, I figured it had probably been on the ground for at least two months. There was a live round in the chamber, and both the bolt and the safety were rusted tight in the firing position…. I held the rifle at arms length, pointed it over the hill toward the enemy line, and pulled the trigger. It fired perfectly, and the reaction sheared loose the rust on the bolt and inserted a new round in the chamber. I then unloaded the rifle, gave it to White, and told him to take it back to the small arms section. They could clean it up and reissue it. I had always felt that the Garand rifle was an excellent gun, and this certainly confirmed it. General Patton reportedly called it “the ultimate weapon of World War II”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n TM 9-1005-222-12 <\/span><\/span><\/strong> by U.S Department of Defense | \nLook for the edition published March 17, 1969; copies have been seen at gun shows for as low as $2.00.
