The Six Ton Tank M1917 was the USA’s first mass-produced tank. It was a license-built near-copy of the French Renault FT, and was accepted by the army in October 1918. The US Army ordered approximately 4,440 M1917s between 1918 and 1919, receiving about 950 before cancelling the contract. None reached Europe in time to participate in World War I. This one has a 37mm Main Gun.

This weekend I brought out a relic for a little fun. I don't shoot it very much because I hate the cost of ammo and honestly it's not a very fun gun to shoot. Still it's an interesting piece of history.
During the first world war America spent most of the war producing arms and ammo for the allies then when we jumped in we found we didn't have enough guns for our own boys and switching over production would take too long. We needed those guns immediately.
At the time Colt and Smith & Wesson were manufacturing revolvers for the civilian market already so the government told them to make some in .45 ACP to supplement the need for 1911s. This became the Model 1917.
Rimless rounds like this don't work very well in revolvers but the military didn't want to deal with the logistical headache of issuing multiple different pistol calibers. Moon clips were made that clamp around the recessed rim that the 1911 extractor would hook onto. This would give the revolver extractor something to hold onto to pull spent rounds out. It also held the rounds together for faster reloads. Later the .45 Auto Rim cartridge would be developed for the civilian market.
The S&W models came with an extra feature that's pretty interesting. If you look inside the cylinder each chamber has an extra ring cut into it. This allowed the rounds to headspace off of the mouth rather than the rim. The Colt models didn't have this ring. If you tried putting a round in the cylinder without the moon clip it would just fall right through. With the ring if you have some loose rounds and no clips you can still use them. You'll need a stick or a pencil to push the spent brass out which really sucks but it's a little better than not being able to use the rounds at all. Early Colts didn't have this ring but they eventually added them in. After the war 1911 production picked up and the military didn't need 1917s anymore so they flooded the markets. Later in the 30's S&W manufactured a bunch for export to the Brazilian government.
