BRNOs are known to be very reliable to those who use them, but are rarely heard of. The M1 however, was used by the army in the war after intensive testing. The M1 has been the basis of ALL M series rifles including the popular M16 and sniper rifle M21. The M1 Garand was used in two major wars and a few smaller guerrilla wars. The same can't be said about the BRNO Rifles.
Correction to the above: The Garand was the basis of the M14 and variants (including the M21), and was partially the basis of the M1 carbine, but is in no way the basis of other M series weapons, least of all the M16 and M4, which use a totally different design and operating system. The US Military used the "M" nomenclature for quite some time before the Garand was adopted (such as the M1903, M1911, M1918, M1919, etc.), so it certainly could not have been the basis for M series firearms designed before the Garand.
