My best friend has like 5-6 of these, he got one for Christmas a few years ago. I finally got to see it a while back, one of the finest weapons I've ever held.
The whole story about the pinging alerting enemies is 100% bullshit. The enemy not know which soldier is out of ammo and there would be no way a soldier would hear a ping while artillery and other rounds are going off. They wouldnt be paying attention to it.
That story is just a huge generalization. It is partly correct in that just a few, VERY FEW Vietnamese soldiers were actually smart enough to listen for that ping. The stories that were told made it seem as though all of the enemy listened for it but in reality most of them were as you described it. But there were a small amount that paid attention to it.
First the M1 Garand was barely fielded in Vietnam. Second If an axis soldier popped up after hearing the ping another soldier would blow his head off. Its not a one on one.
@MosinNagant69 Yeah and if everyone is shooting their rifles and machine guns i doubt anyone will hear your ping if they are not right next to you, and if the enemy is shooting also (they probably will be) i doubt they can hear it.
nice battle rifle. but it gives your position away. unless your sneaky . and keep an empty clip to throw on the ground after the 7th shot. so you can take your adversary's head off with your last shot. assuming that your a good shot. when he pops up after hearing PING.
i read back through the comments and dont see where i dissed anybody.if you mean you can do it after the first shot your enemy does know how to count. and knows your not out of rounds.theres your logic, count the rounds.
the originals were 30o6 and .30 springfield, other calibers such as the .276 cavalry version were scrapped, the modern civilian versions can be chambered for either 30o6 or 7.62x54
Thank you for correcting me. My apologies for being an idiot...i just assumed it was spelled Grand because i have heard it pronounced grand my whole life.
@RiflemanExpert You can also use that to your advantage by keeping a couple empty clips near by fire off a round and slam the empty clip against your rifle... When the enemy pops up you have 7 rounds left to take them by suprise...
That is a good semi-automatic rifle which was very accurate back in WWII. The mag holds 8 rounds and when empty it makes a ping to let the shooter when its empty.
Well i don't think that was intentional just a by product of the way it is designed, it is a nice sound lol oddly, but not a good one the shooter will know the gun is empty because they cannot shoot with this the enemy know it is empty as well.

This gun is the best ever created in my opinion. The M16 is acurate but its way too weak. They brought the M14 back. Maybe this will come back too.
MosinNagant69 3 years ago
why would they bring the garand back?
The m14 is the improved version of it.
(I still like the m1 garand a lot though)
But battle wise, the m14 beats the m1 garand by a longshot.
Chillinhawk 2 years ago
It seems like an improved version of an M1 Carbine, due to the long barrel, bolt, magazine, etc.
scottwillems 2 years ago
No, I think the M1carbine was made after which (if it was) contradicts your theory. No offence.
Chillinhawk 2 years ago
Lol the m1 carbine was the carbine'd m1 garand, made for closer quarters and tighter combat.
even though the m1 carbine uses another kind of round.
cj397 2 years ago
Nope. The M1 Garand and M1 Carbine have nothing to do with each other at all. They shot same diameter bullets, but that doesn't say much.
csmybuttt 2 years ago
I meant because of the length of the garand, Many soldiers, especially paratroopers, were calling for a tighter, shorter weapon.
cj397 2 years ago
m1 garand was too strong for the beginners so the m1 carbine was made

why after the 7th shot? you can do it after you did one shot.
