The M1icon Garands in general performed as advertised, with only an occasional malfunction. Some of the "non-issued" firearms, that were captured from the Chicoms, were ones that were lost in battle by the Armys' "Task Force Faith", which had gone up the East side of the Reservoir, when they were overrun by Chicoms.

Task Force Faith had followed their orders and disbursed into company and battalion sized units, with far too much distance between them and the adjacent units. The Chicoms were trained to swarm over units as small as battalion in size, so the company sized Army units were absolutely no match.
