In the "Meritorious Service" volunteer section, there is such a bridge section, at that time a liberation fighter, for the US army's Garand rifle can be described as painstaking, from the beginning in the shouting logistics whether there are eight grains of rice, to the back of the battlefield, he is even more alone, all the way from the US army position to grab a Garand rifle, but also with the instructor Li Yannian to show off, as a result, was criticized by the instructor, but the problem also came, when shouting this weapon, We will find that the soldiers of the volunteer army are generally shouting that this weapon is eight grains of rice, and the question is, why is it so shouting?
To explain this reason, we have to look at this weapon first, and the Soviet Army's Mosin Nagant at that time, the eight grains of rice of the US army can also be regarded as a god-like existence, as early as the 20s was born, all the way from World War II to the Korean War, and even to the Vietnam War, the US military is still using this weapon's magic version, so the reliability of this weapon is very high, even the US general Patton praised it.
M1 Garand rifle reliability is very high, the accuracy of shooting is also very good, and the gun is very easy to decompose and clean, therefore, this weapon in the later war was widely used by the armed forces of many countries, and even in the Korean War period, many volunteer weapons are from the hands of the US military, which shows the performance of this weapon, but why would people call it the eight grains of rice?
This has to say that the magazine of the Garand rifle, unlike other bolt-action rifles, the Garand rifle is a kind of semi-automatic rifle, the rate of fire is obviously much faster than the bolt-action rifle, plus its bullet capacity is very high, there are as many as 8 rounds, you know, the traditional bolt-action rifle is at most 5 rounds of ammunition capacity, so a comparison, the gap immediately appeared, plus its gun sounded and poofed.
Like the sound of the stew, so, as soon as the two are combined, the volunteer army gave the US army's Garand rifle a resounding nickname of "eight big rice grains", and had to admit that the US army's Garand rifle really made the volunteers suffer a big loss in the Korean War, because this rifle has a very fast rate of fire, coupled with a super high ammunition capacity, the weapons on the volunteer side are not mixed, and all kinds of weapons are available.
But most people use bolt-action rifles, naturally suffered a big loss, but even if the fight is so difficult, the volunteer army still hit the US army, which is known as the tiger and wolf division, back to the 38th line, which is something that countless people did not expect, which is why we will say that the Korean War is The reason for China's founding war, with the continuous advancement of army modernization, we finally use the equipment and weapons of the previous US army.
