👉 The Passage Weapon, also known as the "Passage Gun," is a unique firearm designed by John Garand that uses a specialized magazine called a "passage magazine." This magazine contains folded paper strips, each with a small hole that allows a stream of propellant to flow through when the magazine is fed into the weapon. As the paper strips pass through, they ignite a small amount of black powder inside the chamber, creating a rapid and consistent flow of gas that propels the bullet out the barrel. This innovative design allowed for faster, more reliable firing compared to traditional firearms, significantly impacting military tactics during World War II and beyond.
