How did the m1 garand work?
The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle that uses a gas-operated mechanism to cycle its action. When a round is fired, gas from the fired cartridge is diverted through a port in the barrel, driving a piston that operates the bolt to eject the spent casing and chamber a new round from the eight-round en-bloc clip. This design allows for faster follow-up shots compared to bolt-action rifles. The M1 Garand was notable for its reliability and accuracy, becoming the standard issue rifle for the U.S. military during World War II and the Korean War.

What is the M1 Garand?
The M-1 Garand rifle is an American gas-operated semi-automatic centerfire rifle with an internal 8-round fixed magazine using en-bloc clips. The full official designation of the M-1 Garand is "United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M-1". "Garand" is the last name of it's designer, John C. Garand. (Mr. Garand himself pronounced his name GA-rand, like "parent") The name is used both to honor him and to distinguish the M-1 rifle from the M-1 Carbine which is a totally different firearm designed by another engineer. The original M-1 design was chambered in .276 Pedersen. However, the US Army had large quantities of M30 Ball (.30-06) on hand that it wanted to take advantage of and the M-1 was redesigned for that caliber. After the US military standardized on the 7.62 NATO round, also known as .308 and 7.62x51, a number of M-1 rifles were converted to it and used by the US Navy until the changeover to the M-14 was completed. The M-1 rifle was the main battle rifle of the United States between 1936 and 1957. After being replaced by the M-14 in 1957 many M-1 rifles were loaned to militaries of other countries (notably, Greece). Today some M-1 rifles remain in limited use as a drill, instructional and ceremonial instruments. The M-1 is also popular on the US civilian market with collectors, recreational shooters, and in certain types of competitive shooting.
