This video delves into the T31, John Garand's experimental bullpup rifle designed in 1948. The rifle featured an unorthodox design, including a pneumatic gas system, a clockwork recoil spring, and a tilting wedge bolt. Initial testing revealed reliability issues due to excessive powder fouling, leading to a redesign with a tappet-style gas system. Only two examples were produced before Garand's retirement. The video highlights the unique nature of this Springfield Armory prototype and thanks the Springfield Armory National Historic Site for access.
