Old American Artifact

One of the most important and most used artifacts of WWII is the American primary weapon the M-1 Garand. The M-1 was the first semi-automatic rifle used by the American infantry during WWII. It was designed in 1932 and was used from 1936-1957 by the U.S. Army. Its also significant to the book "Articles of War" because the main character Heck and the rest of the army uses the M-1 when he goes into battle. It might have a significant affect on the story later in the book. People might be killed from the weapon or people might be saved by the gun. I don't think it will have a major affect on the book just because it's a weapon and nothing else, it's not really that important. This weapon doesn't really give an emotional opinion of the war, I guess it makes me a little sad because of all the people the gun killed, but other then that there is no emotional affect on me. This gun was very important to the success of WWII for the Americans and has a slight affect on the book "Articles of War."
