1941 Johnson Automatic Rifle WW2 .30-06 Semi Auto
The M1941 Johnson Automatic Rifle, a competitor to the M1 Garand, featured a unique reciprocating barrel and a 10-round internal rotary magazine fed by stripper clips. Despite its robust design and favorable use by Marines in WWII, it was passed over for the Garand due to higher production costs and potential reliability issues with bayonets. The rifle's ability to be 'topped off' with stripper clips is a notable advantage over the Garand.
