This video delves into the history and mechanics of the M1941 Johnson Automatic Rifle, a notable competitor to the M1 Garand. Designed by Melvin Johnson, it featured a short recoil system with a rotating bolt, influencing later designs like the AR-15. Despite not being officially adopted, a small number saw unofficial service with US Marines. The video also touches upon its intended use for the Dutch government and its chambering in .30-06 with a 10-round rotary magazine, noting its comparability to the later Johnson Light Machine Guns.
