The M1A1 rifle: a weapon used by American paratroopers

The M1A1 carbine was designed as an improved version of the famous M1 carbine, specifically for use by US Army paratroopers. Adopted in 1942, it was distinguished by its folding metal stock, which made it easier to carry and use in confined spaces. Chambered for the .30 Carbine cartridge, it offered good firepower at medium range while remaining lighter and easier to handle than the M1 Garand rifle.

Highly appreciated for its balance between portability and effectiveness, the M1A1 rifle was widely used during the Normandy landings and other major airborne operations of the Second World War. Its robust and reliable design made it the weapon of choice for airborne units, becoming a symbol of the American forces in many emblematic battles.
