When They Put Dual Magazines on the M1 Carbine — Germans Called it the Endless Rifle

June 6th, 1944. 0148 Hours. One paratrooper. A modified carbine. An enemy patrol confused by a sound that made no tactical sense. Corporal Thomas "Tommy" Brennan crouched in the hedgerows of Normandy. His superiors had reprimanded him for tinkering with his weapon—calling it a breach of discipline. But this Detroit auto mechanic knew that the standard five-second reload cycle was a fatal flaw in the heat of battle. What happened next terrified the German defenders. In a chaotic firefight, Brennan unleashed a relentless stream of fire. Fifteen rounds. A blur of motion. Fifteen more. No pause. No silence. The enemy machine gunners, expecting a reload, were cut down by a continuous wall of lead. German forces retreated, whispering of das endlose Gewehr—the endless rifle. By fabricating a simple clamp to hold two magazines together, Brennan had eliminated the deadly pause, turning a desperate defense into a tactical victory. This is the untold story of a battlefield innovation that saved lives when the odds were impossible. Witness how a mechanic's "unauthorized" modification became a legend of the 82nd Airborne and changed infantry tactics forever. Watch till the end—you won't believe the genius behind his invention.
