Oh look, a weapon that everyone keeps suggesting to this wiki! What makes the M1 so unique that it deserves to be added? Most people will tell you that its an R2D weapon, its historic factor as the Standard Issue Rifle of the US Army in WWII, or that famous *PING* when the gun reloads. I have a reason completely different from everyone else.

''First the Famas, then we get Blackfield, Portland comes next, and now the M1 Garand? I think PR should just re-open the old R2D all together if he keeps this up!''

The days grew longer. Veteran survivors gathered round the campfire to tell stories to "new" survivors of the days of old. Back when brutes were called tanks, when Caved In was a map...and of the old weapons. One survivor was eager to hear the story of the M1, and much to the veteran's surprise he had the actual classic weapon with him! The veteran was hit with a nostailgic flow, but also a sense of curiosity. Why would a survivor carry a semi-auto weapon in the world of burst rifles and automatic machine guns? He said because of the weapons decent accuracy and reliability, and how it holds up to higher-ranking weapons.

To be put plain and simple, there is no proper s'emi-automatic primary rifle in R2D:A. One might argue that the R700, Dragunov and Barret .50 Cal fill those spots, but those are categorized as sniper rifles, despite being semi-auto weapons.'

When I first joined this wiki, back before /e thriller became a thing, the weapon suggestions I were seeing most frequently were modern-era weapons and R2D remakes. Of the R2D remakes, the M1 was the most common. However, what makes THIS particular post different from all the others is that I am proposing this weapon NOT as the R2D remake but as a suggestion for a Primary Semi-Auto rifle.

I have given this weapon the stats of a slightly buffed Steyr M, making this an effective two-shot kill weapon (or single if headshot). It'll deal enough damage to a mob to keep them and you on their toes, while providing more veteran players with a nostailgic but reliable weapon with stats good enough to be on par with every M249 User, and for being a starter rank weapon. It gives the player a feel for ADS if they wanna be a sniper, or for being a hipfire master if they wanna use the Thompson or AK-47.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate criticism and ideas to improve this post.
