M1 Garand / WWII Rifle rendered by Steven Noble

Steven Noble created this illustration to commemorate and honor the brave soldiers who had fought on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 during World War II by rendering the D-Day landings onto the M1 Garand rifle used during that military conflict. The M1 Garand or M1 rifle is a semi-automatic rifle that was the service rifle of the U.S. Army during World War II. The rifle is chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and is named after its Canadian-American designer, John Garand. The artwork was hand drawn in an etching style to follow the entire length of the rifle.
