The M1911A1, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M1A Thompson, and M14 were some of the finest firearms ever manufactured, and Springfield produced all of them at one time or another.

Isn't it kinda telling that the US doesn't really seem to design that many new military issue small arms that aren't variants of existing designs. When you compare to how many new rifle designs that Springfield used to churn out, the productivity of the modern day military industrial complex in america to churn out high quality small arms doesn't seem all that impressive.
