M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is a Small Guns skill weapon in Fallout Tactics.

Background
The M1 Garand, surnamed "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.

Characteristics
The M1 Garand has an aiming bonus when used at long ranges. This, however, comes with a close range aiming penalty which is bigger than the standard penalty of other ranged weapons. This limits the Garand to being most effective as a long range sniping weapon.
