The M1941 Johnson, besides being a bottomless well of innuendos, is a fascinating design that was a direct M1 Garand competitor. Though it still wasn’t selected for service it managed to find its way into the hands of Marines, Like most Johnsons do. The Marines used their Johnsons to great effect in the early parts of the pacific campaign.

HISTORY:
In mid-1930s the U.S. Army was looking for a semi-automatic rifle, and John Garand from the Springfield Armory won the tender with his candidate. Melvin Johnson, a lawyer by profession, a Marine officer and a gun hobbyist, was skeptical of the adopted design (for example, he doubted that wartime ammunition would be consistent enough for a gas-operated rifle to work reliably) and decided to develop his own. In February 1936, when the Garand had just been adopted, he had his first working model, which had an unprecedented 10 locking lugs in its rotating bolt, manufactured in a machine shop for $300. In April, Johnson filed for a patent, and in August the first complete prototype rifle was completed. He continued the development during 1937-1938 while Garand’s already adopted design was being tweaked and maturing.
Melvin Johnson campaigned heavily for the adoption of his rifle by the U.S. Army and other service branches. However, after limited testing, the Army rejected Johnson’s rifle in favor of the M1 rifle they already had. The M1941 was ordered by the Netherlands for issue to the KNIL in the Dutch East Indies, but only 1,999 rifles were shipped to the Dutch East Indies before the Japanese invaded. At this time, the U.S. Marine Corps found itself in need of a modern fast-firing infantry rifle, and acquired some rifles from the Dutch East Indies shipment for issue to its Paramarine battalions then preparing to deploy for action in the Pacific theater. By all accounts, the M1941 performed acceptably in combat with the Marines in the early days of the Pacific fighting.
