I recently made a suggestion about rebalancing the M1 Garand to go to BR 4, and renaming it to M1 Garand Gas Port, or any designation to specify that version of the rifle. This change allows the Allies’ BR 4 Tech Tree Rifle gap to be filled with a high combat use, iconic weapon. To fill it’s place at BR 3, I would like to add the earlier Gas Trap variant of the Garand, which was also used in large quantities.
This weapon would have similar stats to the existing Gas Port variant that we have at BR 3. Implementing this variant in this fashion allows the Allies tree to have a BR 4 rifle that is historically relevant. In a sense, this can be seen as an analogous progression to the Gewehr 41 and Gewehr 43 in the Axis Tree: the weapons are very similar, aside from the detachable magazine on the latter, and the gas system being changed from an annular gas trap to a copy of Tokarev’s gas port.
