My father really liked his Thomson and his BAR he had in Korea.

He wondered how he carried that M1 up and down all that terrain.

Those are heavy guns...and I’d want to carry plenty of ammo as well.

I’d have wanted a Thompson with lots of clips and even a drum or two...and a 911 since they use the same ammo.

The Garand isn’t full auto but is very well built.

It’s not hard when you dont have the burden of body armor. :-)
