          • 家园 哦,没想到,不是维基开放了吗?

            这是原文,加大意翻译:

            John Cantius Garand (January 1, 1888 – February 16, 1974) was a designer of firearms most famous for creating the first semi-automatic rifle to be put into active military service, the M1 Garand.

            Garand was born in St. Rémi, Quebec, and moved as a child to rural Connecticut. He attended school until he was twelve years old, and then became employed in a textile mill, where he was later promoted to machinist. After gaining the necessary experience, he was hired at a tool factory in Providence, Rhode Island.

            His fondness for machinery and target shooting blended naturally into a hobby of designing guns, which however took a more vocational turn in 1917. That year the United States Army took bids on designs for a light machine gun, and Garand's design was eventually selected by the War Department. Garand was appointed to a position with the United States Bureau of Standards with the task of perfecting the weapon. The first model was not built until 1919, too late for use in World War I, but the government kept Garand on in a position as consulting engineer with the Springfield Armory.

            In this position he was tasked with designing a semiautomatic infantry rifle. After several preliminary designs, and quite a bit of detail work, stretching over fifteen years, to perfect the model to Army specifications, the resulting M1 Garand was patented by Garand in 1934 and began mass production in 1936.

            For his work with the Springfield Armory, Garand was awarded the Medal for Meritorious Service in 1941, and the Medal for Merit in 1944. Garand never received any royalties from his design. A bill was introduced in Congress to award him $100,000 in appreciation, but did not pass. Garand remained in his consulting position until his retirement in 1953, and died in Springfield, Massachusetts.

            The pronunciation of the name Garand is often an issue. It is pronounced variably as 'guh-RAND' and 'GARE-end.' While many would disagree, descendants of John Garand along with close friend Julian Hatcher generally agree it should indeed rhyme with 'errand.' The former pronunciation, however, is the more common though technically incorrect pronunciation.

            加兰德出生在加拿大魁北克,孩童时全家搬家到康耐迪格州,上学上到12岁,就近纺织厂工作了,一直做到机修工。然后到罗德岛的一个机械工具厂工作。他快机械和射击,开始业余设计枪。1917年时,美国陆军招标设计轻机枪,加兰德的设计入选。军方把他找到国家标准局,继续完善机枪的设计,但机枪知道1919年才最后完成,错过了一战。军方把他留下,在Springfield兵工厂继续工作。在这里,他花了15年时间,最后设计出M1 Garand半自动步枪。加兰德没有为自己的设计得到过任何专利费,国会曾试图通过决议,授予10万美元作为嘉奖,但没有通过。加兰德在53年在Springfield逝世。

    • 家园 请教一个小问题

      在这张图中

      点看全图

      外链图片需谨慎,可能会被源头改

      图中的两名战士都有钢盔和迷彩服,跟其他图中很不一样啊。另外那个持ppsh的战士身上穿的是啥呀,看着怎么象防弹背心似的?

    • 家园 AK47之所以好用,因为是战士设计的。由此,很对中国的新枪有些

      。。放心不下。

      • 家园 呃,德国的那些枪都不是战士设计的

        要说它们不好,国内的哈德族们可要和你拚命的哦。

        • 家园 杨子荣可就是死在毛瑟的精密设计上
        • 家园 厄~ 真的喔,。。

          德式武器精良,但在可靠性和低成本上还是不如俄式武器;比如MG42机枪,威力巨大但是重量和发热问题是其无法解决的大问题。

          。。。

          俺对无托枪天生反感,觉着不想个枪;95式步枪的产生,是生生压下了基层战士的反对而产生的;03式的出现也说明这种反对之强。

          俺总觉着中国的一些设计者的闭门造车的作风还是很根深蒂固的。

          • 家园 嘿嘿,MG42被称为是有史以来最完美的机枪

            西德重新建军的时候,就是把MG42改用7.62学1毫米北约弹,其他一概不变,到现在还是基本的制式通用机枪。用7.92学7毫米毛瑟弹的原装和新生产的MG42在前南斯拉夫、巴基斯坦等很多国家继续作为基本制式机枪在使用。

            无托枪在奥地利、法国、英国最初服役的时候,也是遭到强烈反对的。5.56毫米小口径武器在最初也是反对声一片。倾听使用者意见和领导潮流是一对矛盾,没有绝对对错的。

      • 家园 中国枪械设计制造检测整个体系师承苏联。

        个人以为,不必担心。
