They were Hell on Sampans hauling fuel drums at night.

Just like the 1911
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington

I didn't get to shoot them but I worked on them. Almost every one I saw was made at AC Spark Plug in Flint, MI during WWII. I was in high school with a guy who's mom told me about test firing them in the basement with all the other little old ladies.  :)

Another great John Browning invention was the BAR (Browning Automatic Rife).  Shot that one a bit.  Awesome rifle.  Only drawback was the 20 rd magazine.  It was accurate and fired the 30-06.  Heavy at 19 lbs.
