📜 The Johnson M1941 rifle is little known to the general public, and yet it was semi-military in the American army during the Pacific War.
This weapon is rare in our latitudes, and it's a chance to be able to demonstrate it to you. It is also an opportunity to tell you about the life of its inventor Melvin Maynard Johnson, his Model of 1941 semi-automatic rifles and his M1941 submachine guns (yes they have the same name!).
And we cannot say that Johnson's life was peaceful and prosperous... Yet his weapon is of good quality. But better than its counterpart the M1 Garand? Which Johnson dreamed of being able to replace with his weapon...
