Hi Burgen, I nice poster.

Kraut Killer-
(1923) The 1923 model was a very rare gun because did not sell well. Its target market was for the military, it had options like a sling, bipod, and bayonet. No conpensator due to the bayonet option. Also it wasn't the only model that took the drum mag. They tried useing a higher powered .45 round made by Remington and it slowed the ROF to around 400 rounds a minute. This model is very rare.

(M1A1) The U.S. entered the war with a limmited amount of the 1928A1 (M1A1) which had the charging handle on top and could take both kinds of mags of the time, and of coarse compensator.

(M1) Because of the mass production demand, in 42 they started producing the M1. That was the simplified version. They got rid of the actuator, breach oiler, barrel fins, compensator and a couple other things. It also had a full-auto/semi-auto selector. It had a side charge handle and simplified sights. This model could only take the box mags. Soldiers didn't get this one until the later part of 43.

If you're going to post facts, no matter how dumb or brilliant they are, at least have them right.
