Take the time to read the original proposals for the Army's "Light Rifle Program" as it details everything.
It was never designed to replace the 1911...
It was never designed for "noncombat" soldiers...
It was never designed for cooks, typists, or the many other often repeated tales.
It was designed as a "light rifle" to fill a myriad of roles including as an alternative to the Garand.
