英语词汇garand rifle的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Garand rifle. In the early 1930s, Canadian-born John Canti- us Garand invented the semiautomatic Garand, which works on the principle of expanding gas, while employed as a civilian ordnance engineer at the U.S. Armory in Springfield, Massa- chusetts. The famous M-1 was adopted in 1936 as the official U.S. Army rifle. The .30-caliber, eight-shot, clip-loading weap- on proved to be a great improvement on the old standard Springfield, firing up to four times as many shots, or 100 rounds per minute, and contributed greatly to the Allied victory in World War II. Garand was never paid a cent in royalties for his invention, and never earned more than $12,000 a year in his 34-year service with the U.S. Ordnance Corps.
