The designer of the M1 Garand was Canadian; Garand was his last name. I believe he designed it in '32, but I know the US military didn't adopt it until 1936. Check my dates though.
@alekzander2010 Yes you can, you can compare anything to anything, now whether it will be fair comparison is a another thing. However in this instance I think the main reason for comparison is that both rifles were the standard issue gun for 2 super powers that were at war. So it makes sense.
@NotJustYouNoob I think he does, but even that would not exactly be 'fair', due to the caliber sizes, BAR 7.62x63 and STG 7.62x33, nearly half the size..lol
obviously the Garand would out perform the K98 in almost every aspect. Ballistics were very similar but rate of fire would much in the favor of the Garand. As the comment says above the Gewehr 43 would be a better comparison ( the comment above referencing the "Gewehr" just means the "rifle" in German and could denote any rifle used in the German militay, 43 denotes the year of developement). However the Gewehr 43 would not stand up to the Garand due nature to jam. Both great rifles
@MovieMaker225 Sure I will, He gets it all the time, just walking into Stores people will ask him if he is a Tom Cruise Impersonator... it's funny. XD
The M1 Garand, although semi-automatic doesn't have the stopping power of the Kar98k. But in battle, I would prefer the M1 because its capabilities of rapid firing and a big enough round to put someone on the ground quickly. With the Kar, if you miss that first shot, you better bolt it back before whoever you're shooting at starts shooting back. The WW11 German workhorse rifle does perform in combat though.
the m1 garand was designed and made by a canadian the amerrican military just had the money to make it there sevice rifle and also the kid that loaded the m1 dident do it properly cool vid though thanks boys
The M1 Garand was the one of the few weapons we had that was better then Germany's, don't get me wrong, the Mauser 98k was and is still a fine weapon.
Have fun with your rifles, I'd do almost anything to get my hands on an M1 or Mauser.
@Megashehri Production on the Gewehr 43 was late in the war. Maybe there were initial economic/industrial considerations for bolt-action/accuracy. The USA switching from the M14 to M16 exponentially increased the average number of rounds required to kill an enemy in Vietnam to 400,000 (!)--so think how much bullets cost NOW vs. then. If it costs $30,000 1943 dollars per Russian KIA to use semi-automatics vs. $5,000 with bolt action, that's a lot of GDP, when you're killing millions.
@gogdee its not that i dislike them but compaired to german weapons i wouldnt whipe my ass with an american gun. But i still love some american guns. I hate modern ones every fucking one looks like a m16. Seig heil
@gogdee yeha but in a wolrd like this, who fuckign cares about freedom? tehy all want their goverments manage their lifes, and if the goverment is full of badass karate balck belts much better!
not joking, every one hates america just becouse its quite common to do so in most parts of the world
@curseofa5r5a Hmm whatever, do you understand what freedom is? It's the ability to do what you want to do unhindered by the governement or anyone else... now tell me that you don't care about freedom? That's just stupid, everyone should care about freedom, without freedom you are little more than a slave. You & your buddies may hate America but everyone I know, in and out of America, loves it. and why shouldn't they? America has given the world everything, techonlogy, art, music, movies, peace..
@gogdee well if you read carefully my mesaage, im not presicely supporting antiamericans, i was actually beign ironic.
im not a pro amrican guy as you are, but i think the irrational antiamericanism that rules todays world is just plain stupid, you can criticize american policies all what you want, but those assholes criticize the whole nation, wich is basically a quite interesting mixture of all the cultures and peoples of the world adn thats awesome. i have several american relatives
@gogdee Lol saying that they brought peace throughout the world is a pretty deluded thing to say. - Not only has every other nation in the WORLD contributed with technology, art, music (Especially Germany during the last 400 years) - Movies, yes you own that topic.
@digitalesnegativ no it's not. tho based upon the G98 the k98k was designed in 1935 and the garant m1was developed in the late twenties and got patented in 1932.. and even today, the k98k is still in military use with the odd army. not to mention, it also being a much preferred rifle by many hunters. and of course , i am referring to the well made models from the earlier years manufactured by mauserwerken and not the ones made later in the war with inferior materials
@ambspier ....Yet, our soldiers were superior to both the Germans and the Japanese because of the accurate fire the M1 Garand could send down range at a target...Not only that, but you didn't need to inconveniently need to pull back the bolt every time you fired the weapon. 8 rounds of semi, to 5 rounds of bolt action...I'm thinking even the Jap's and Krauts would agree it is a much better fire arm then their standard issued rifle's.
My grandpa was 13 during WW2 in Northern Italy and part of a resistance against the Germans. He would sneak into camps and steal German arms and he brought em back to Canada with him, had about 14 Mausers!
@gogdee I mean, I see pictures of soldiers using them as drill rifles, but no combat soldiers. I'm sure in the middle east or Africa some unconventional guerilla force uses the M1 Garands. I mean after all, if it can still lob bullets down the barrel, then it's going to be still used by somebody.
The kar is more save to fire doesn't jam that much and bolt actions have very strong stoping power
M1 Grand is semi auto it doesn't jam that much but it jammed more then the kar a problem with the m1 was the enemy would know when you would have to reload because it would make a clang like noise when the clip was done but m1 is very accurate and good stopping power
But I think I would choose the kar because the reload thing with the m1 and bolt actions are the very save to shoot
@christianschwanse actually in battle you cant hear the sound, I reenact combat with it, its silent. The enemy always hearing it is more of a myth, than a historical fact, though it did happen very rarely, but any smart person would of course choose the M1, since its a superior, more modern and effective combat weapon system
Anyone can explain that you won't hear a little pling in the middle of a firefight, when you are around 200m away. The shooter of the Garand won't hear it after a couple of clips, and when there's ~15 guys on a line with rifles and SMGs he won't hear even the first pling.
Due to the shape of the 30-06 round the Garand had more precision and power than the K98 actually.

@christianschwanse Bolt actions are inherently more reliable, but the amount of shots the M1 Garand could get off was worth much more then a bit more reliability. It is said that the M1 Garand in testing did not like sand and mud that much. The clip noise was probably inaudible in combat some times. The M1 Garand is perfectly safe to shoot my friend. The Germans actually were so impressed with the Garand that they came out with their own semi automatic.

@123mrresidentevil Negative. The bolt locks to the rear upon the last shot of the previous clip. When the rifleman pushes the next clip into the well, a lever is depressed that unlocks the bolt and allows it to return forward. You are supposed to use your right hand to load the M1. You push the clip down with your thumb while holding the bolt back with the heel of your hand. When the bolt releases, move your damn thumb and take your hand away. LOADED.
...and so the M91/30 Mosin-Nagant felt left out...next to the Type-99 Arisaka. Of course I do happen to have one of the last ditch Type-99s, without chrome lined barrel, proper rifling, and crude bolt and receiver. As for the "ping" on the M1 I heard it was a design overlook, strictly unintentional.
Shut the hell up Ipwnzombs tht is totally untrue i am an M1 Garand Fan and i have one but it only has two benefit is its semi-auto and has an 8 roung mag compared to K98s 5 round mag

The enemy always hearing it is more of a myth, than a historical fact, though it did happen very rarely, but any smart person would of course choose the M1, since its a superior, more modern and effective combat weapon system

@christianschwanse No no no, please don't spread the "pling myth" :p .
Anyone can explain that you won't hear a little pling in the middle of a firefight, when you are around 200m away. The shooter of the Garand won't hear it after a couple of clips, and when there's ~15 guys on a line with rifles and SMGs he won't hear even the first pling.
Due to the shape of the 30-06 round the Garand had more precision and power than the K98 actually.

@christianschwanse Bolt actions are inherently more reliable, but the amount of shots the M1 Garand could get off was worth much more then a bit more reliability. It is said that the M1 Garand in testing did not like sand and mud that much. The clip noise was probably inaudible in combat some times. The M1 Garand is perfectly safe to shoot my friend. The Germans actually were so impressed with the Garand that they came out with their own semi automatic.

@christianschwanse when you reload the m1 the bolt is locked back and won't come forward till you shove forward

@123mrresidentevil Negative. The bolt locks to the rear upon the last shot of the previous clip. When the rifleman pushes the next clip into the well, a lever is depressed that unlocks the bolt and allows it to return forward. You are supposed to use your right hand to load the M1. You push the clip down with your thumb while holding the bolt back with the heel of your hand. When the bolt releases, move your damn thumb and take your hand away. LOADED.

...and so the M91/30 Mosin-Nagant felt left out...next to the Type-99 Arisaka. Of course I do happen to have one of the last ditch Type-99s, without chrome lined barrel, proper rifling, and crude bolt and receiver. As for the "ping" on the M1 I heard it was a design overlook, strictly unintentional.
