History
The first Springfield light rifle was designed by John Garand for the .30 Carbine competitions (tested 26–28 May 1941), which had the top feed magazine. It required offset sights to allow for the top mounted magazine and ejected rounds, which frequently strike the operator's left arm.[2]
The second Springfield (Garand) Cal .30 Light Rifle (tested 15 Sep 1941), had a more conventional bottom feed magazine placement but was heavier than the first model.[3] Neither model went past prototype development.
gollark: Well, you have to deal with the integers from the input, and output integers.
gollark: I can tell you that my entry:- will be submitted- will be written in C or Python- will contain integers for at least the I/O part- will multiply square n * n matrices- will run in either less than, more than or equal to O(n²²¹¹³¹³¹³⁴) time and O((log n)⁶) space- may or may not invoke certain dark bee gods- will be compatible with Linux and potentially other OSes- could contain instances of SCP-3443- will be between (inclusive) 0KB and 20KB (main code file)- may utilize electromagnetic, logical or philosophical induction
gollark: Yes. You know how it is, one moment you're writing a reasonable program with comments and such but the next you accidentally start dropping in Greek identifier names, monoids, and stack frame meddling.
