A must have for any World War 2 video game, the M1 Garand is a huge part of military history, and the arsenal of pop culture weapons. It was a tool that helped the allies fight in the Second World War, and has since been seen in plenty of games, from Call of Duty and Battlefield through to Fallout: New Vegas.
