What if MacArthur had not gotten his way and the US had adopted .276 Pederson instead of staying with .30-06?
The Garand would have gotten a 10 shot clip instead of 8.
The M1918 BAR would have been changed enough for the late updates from Colt to be applied and the Rifle, Automatic, .276 Calibre M2 to replace it.
Later the Garand would be tested with a detachable box magazine and possibly adopted as the M3 rifle in 1946.
The M1919A4, when converted or made new in .276 becomes the M4 machine gun.
The M4A1 machinegun is the same pattern as an M1919A6.
The incompetent drafter who fucked up measuring a captured MG.42 for conversion to American cartridges quit in protest when .30-06 was dropped in 1936 and therefore didn't screw up the .276 conversion into the M5 machine gun, which the US still uses in 2024.
