M-1 Garand

The M-1 Garand was the main battle rifle of U.S. infantry during World War II and Korea, and, in limited numbers, Vietnam. It was chambered for .30-06 Springfield ammo. One common misconception is that the Garand could not be reloaded until the en-bloc clip was completely emptied. Partially-expended or full clips could be ejected by simply depressing the magazine catch.

The Garand later served as the basis for the M14 rifle, which is still in limited service to this day.
The M-1 Garand was designed by, and derives its name from, John C. Garand.

Gabrianna

Gabrianna (Gah-bree-anna) is a unique name given to very few girls. When pronounced correctly, it has a very beautiful ring to it. Many people who are named Gabrianna are beautiful themselves, in both body and soul. Gabriannas can be trusted and will keep secrets until their deathbed. They forgive, but never forget. Don't take their beauty as a sign of delicacy- most of them are very hardy and willing to fight for what they believe in.

Because of the name's long structure, a short middle name is often bestowed; if the child has a longer name, than an even smaller middle name might be in order to balance it out. The name is often nick'd into something shorter and easier to pronounce.
