Hi Mike ,
I just sold the rifle to a fella he got a good deal on it too

You want to know every daggum gun used in WW2 ask me, the new guy. :twisted:

Nevermind… :oops:

The M1 have a fame for poor balistic, even It seems a very practic gun to me.

The Johnson automatic rifle.

Extracted from: “The machine gun Vol I” James M. Chinn.

Excellent post. I may add a paramarine armed with Johnson LMG.

Indeed a great weapon, lighter than the BAR, maybe his only defect was that the balance of the rifle wasnt very good because his side loading magazine.

This is pretty interesting problem. My American colleagues have always informed me that it was mainly the problem of Browning’s “under the table” activities against Johnson designers and manufacturers and that the LMG we are talking about is good weapon. I know American militaria and guns collectors who tell that the Johnson LMG was a victim of black PR and poor marketing.

For me, from the other side of the ocean it is hard say and judge what is more possible in this case the more so that I was neither BAR nor Johnson gunner.

Best :smiley:

Definatively I would prefer to be a Johnsonn gunner

Shouldn’t affect it too much unless it was badly designed - I’ve never had a problem firing the Minimi with the side mounted magazine fitted.

Well, the weigh7 of 30 round of 5,56 mm calibre is not the same as 25 x 30-06 .

Anyway is a rather subjetive matter.
