“The .30 Cal Garand was the first automatic rifle to be used as the standard infantry weapon of a major army when it was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1936. Its rugged construction and reliability make this weapon a popular and valuable addition to anyone.”— Fallout Tactics description
The M1 Garand is a Small Guns skill weapon in Fallout Tactics.
Background
Edit
The M1 Garand, nicknamed "the greatest battle implement ever devised," was created in 1936 by John Cantius Garand and was the first semi-automatic rifle to be generally issued into the U.S. Army. It is a .30-06 gas-operated, semi-automatic, 8 shot clip-fed rifle. It provides good accuracy up to 100 yards and begins to decline sharply from 330 yards. It has a respectable rate of fire and is also easy to disassemble and clean.
CharacteristicsEdit
The M1 Garand has an aiming bonus when used at long ranges. This comes with a close range aiming penalty which is higher than the standard penalty of other ranged weapons. This limits the Garand to be most effective as a long range sniping weapon.
LocationsEdit
- Peoria, in a locker near the second fusion battery at the southwest part of the underground level.
- Quincy, carried by two beastlords. One is outside the town hall, while another is atop the detention center.
- Mardin, carried by five beastlords.
