M1 Garand Ping

[MobileMMO]

my favorite song

[SBFHawk1]

Yes it everything can be used to defoil an enemy. E ven the ping sound was used to defoil the Japanese what others called flaws we used the flaws to work for you not against you...Same thing with anything.

[pepinozinanasshole]

i can imagine thaqt ping is the sound a rifle makes when being shot by angels

[JOECHOPYTACO]

Dont need to be a nerd, but it's kinda like V.A.T.S. at the end.

[RES1ST0R]

the rifle that won the war

[TheFiremansavage]

Gotta love that PING!

[pb19111]

3 people got hit in the face with the clip when it ejected

[hippo71124]

That must be the most sound in the world

[zenthex1234]

i was going to say something about the M1 Garand but i was thinking about the Mosin Nagant, so im just going to refer to @EvansFTW

[abyssfan4ever]

the ping that won the war

[xBuRToN126x]

Does the sound come from the bandolier hitting the ground or from it ejecting from the rifle? Because I've heard stories about soldiers throwing empty ones on the ground to draw out enemies

[Nik13194]

i dunno how to discribe it but that ping sound is just music to my ears ^^

[lokalllize]

anyone know why it dose that

[kevlarsniper1]

Ftw! suck it japan!

[LYinKansas]

ur spose to catch it dummy = )

[101Infinty101]

OMG I LOVE IT! OMFG I LOVE THE FREAKING PING! MUST BE AT ALL WEAPONS <3

[harobikes8868]

I love tht sound

[hoerejongde]

sick!

[TheThrash3r]

EARGASM!

[LWDNKUMUS]

@TheThrash3r LOL

[littlefishkid]

PING!

[adenak]

angeles range?

[LWDNKUMUS]

@adenak

Yes.  Right side. 100 yards.

[LWDNKUMUS]

I have been told that three rounds from a standard service rifle, without hearing protection, will cause permanent and irreparable hearing damage. I would guess the logic in warfare is that you are trying to kill the other guy, and he's trying to kill you, in that context hearing is not considered all that important. Remember armies are supposed to kill people and break things.

[eggsaladinthetub]

@LWDNKUMUS If so it's minimal. Because it isn't that bad.

[EliteSniper1110]

@LWDNKUMUS and Blow shit up! >:|

[slayere23]

While we're on the topic of sounds in combat, I've always wondered about ear protection in the military.

I have never once seen any soldier from any time period have ear protection. Whether it be a cannoneer in the civil war, a sniper in WWI, a .30 cal operator in WWII, etc.

Yet every firing range video ever made has nearly 90% of the people shooting wear ear protection.

Answer please?

[Wolf2131]

We are issued ear pro, but as to how often it's used in combat, I really don't know. I don't really see it too much other than the rifle range. We're issued the Peltor Combat Arms Earplugs which have two different sides, one of which will allow normal conversation to be heard and the other which will basically block all noise.

[mdeonx16]

DING fries are done.

[mdeonx16]

Now, THAT IS A CLIP.

[Kihoods]

i like the way m1 garand goes ping but what causes this man

[LoneWolf051]

The clip is hollow tin metal, so as long as it isnt holding ammo it makes a ping sound when ejected or hit against a hard object.

[disturbedone5009]

The clip is a piece of steel that is pressed in shape to hold the rounds. When it is ejected from the receiver it vibrates and makes a ringing sound.

[mrloganthinks]

love the slo-mo sound

[EvansFTW]

I've heard stories that the German/Japanese troops learned what that ping sound was. So whenever they heard that sound, they would stand up and open fire because they thought their opponent was reloading. And the Americans had the bright idea of just throwing an empty 8 round clip on the ground for the same effect. And when they did that, it would make the ping and the enemy would pop out of cover only to be shot.

[vincentpol]

@EvansFTW lovely how applying heuristics can result in such creative strategies.

[OldSkoolgamerz]

@EvansFTW Yeah, what you said was true. The enemy learned about the M1 Garand's ping sound as a sign of their targets running out of ammunition, therefore a ripe target. In response, the Americans fooled them with that strategy.

[LoneWolf051]

@OldSkoolgamerz Not it reality though.

[clammax]

@EvansFTW Crafty mother fuckers O.o

[Cj816]

@EvansFTW AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

[CtlBrandon]

@EvansFTW that's a myth

[decodeddiesel]

@EvansFTW There is a great video of Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn dispelling this myth on the TV show "Tactical Arms", you should give it a watch. This sound is barely audible 5-10 yards from the weapon.

[Irfan87]

@EvansFTW

Ping sound comes DIRECTLY from the clip ejecting. Not when the clip hits the ground. What happens is the Americans would let one soldier finish his rounds, wait for the enemy to pop up, than take him out.

[Keanu181881]

Americans " SHOOT THAT KRAUT!, *Fires* PING"

Germans"MWHAHAHA SIE JETZT DIE MUTTER FUCKERS!"

[TheFalloutFanBoy]

"SIE JETZ DIE MAUFTER FIKAS!

[Matuxmatux]

My favourite sound in the whole wide world! :D

[wisdomstar1981]

I love that sound!

[Ruster97]

dammit thts exacly wt i was gunna comment lolz

[xycoordinatex]

M1 garand with suppressor attached to it would make a ping even more nicer.

[bee123UYA]

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM PING!!!!!!!!

[mouse454]

missed 2 BAMs

[sensesfail2435]

slow mo sounds beautiful

[LWDNKUMUS]

I agree. A 30-06 round fired with no hearing protection is pretty devastating. At some range, the last thing you'd be hearing in a pitched battle is the ping. We shoot it using hearing protectors and ear-muffs. You can hear it, but 100meters away, I'd be more worried about the bullet hitting me than hearing if my enemy was out of ammo. Think about it. 8 rounds, semi auto, as fast as you can pull the trigger, vs a mauser bolt action, or a Schmeisser machine pistol. No contest.

[cj397]

Yeah man, my grandfather has a 30-06 springfield sniper from WW2. loudest thing ever, even with hearing protection.

[TheFalloutFanBoy]

Dude thirty odd six remington with 18 in barrel = louder! haha

[Cephas]

I don't think it would be possible to hear the ping in a pitched battle since gunfire is a lot louder.

[SMGJohn]

When you hear the "PING!"

You can hear on the other side on German line "HAHA, Your dead now!"

[Hairysteed]

and a few seconds before that an american soldier whispering to another:

"Hey, you fire off a round and I'll throw this empty clip on that rock making the krauts think you're empty and pop their heard"

[sixersdude123]

The ping cost some soldiers their lives

[Yayo015]

Because of the high ping they endure due to their bad internet connection xD !

[PepperWhite62]

General George S. Patton said that the Garand was " the greates battlefield implement ever devised."

[assman6912]

i love that sound...but what a horrible thing to have with it, just told the germans u were out of ammo lol u know they started to recognize that sound.

[GUNxSPECTRE]

If you got a team with M1 Thompsons and a Browning .30-cal, I doubt the Axis soldiers would listen for one specific sound, and not all the riflemen empty at the same time lol

[atreyurockmysocks]

ah, but the soldiers who used it decided to trick them, they would have full ammo, and just chuck and empty clip on the floor, up the german would get up and you could shoot the mofo in the head

^^

[assman6912]

orly? sneaky bastards lol

[atreyurockmysocks]

mhm

^^

they had to be.

[xXNormal222Xx]

magic touch! ping!

[jasperbaba]

that sound actually got used to aid the us force in ww2 haha, poor japs.

[adam648374692865]

i love that sound for some reason... :D

[brunzmeflugen]

how do you pronounce it? "grand"" or what?

[kaiashiuchiha]

You just put a A sound befor the R

[Draious]

ga-rand :)

[carsof2035]

evrerybody loves the PING!!!!!!!

[Noogai98]

God I love that sound! Music to my ears!

[robloxguggi]

I never get tired of that sound. Even when i am in games i just try to empty the gun as soon as possible just to hear that ping

[awwwwnaaaa]

that ping got a lot of people killed

[LieutenantScout]

But Americans used it to their advantage.

They used 2 en bloc clips and smacked them together to make that ping noise. Then when the enemy stuck out their head to shoot them,they get shot in the head.

[awwwwnaaaa]

yes i know that........but it still got a lot of american men killed. Regardless of if they used it to their advantage....The germans weren't dumb, and that was simply a morall motiff, and a media coverup.

[Draious]

erm no :S its a legend.

The ping sound was too low to be heard in combat, even if it was close up. Also, who would be able to use both their hands to smack them together, and then quickly pick up the rifle and shoot? ..

[LieutenantScout]

Yes. people DID hear it in combat.

2.) They did it as a team. 1 person did that than others with loaded rifles took the enemy out.

[Draious]

okay link me some stuff saying that the enemy would had heard it.

It is not possible in a gunfight with more people shooting (louder than the ping) to hear a small metallic sound going off. might just as well had been a bullet hitting a metal object for that matter.

[hamsterattack1357]

no its true. you would hear the ping. lietenantscout is right.

[Draious]

okay lets pretend that you could hear the ping sound many meter away, what makes you think that all german soldiers would stick their head out to get shot?

[hamsterattack1357]

even if they had their head out when they heard the ping, they wouldnt be able to react in time to put there head down. The speed of the bullet is very fast. even if they did have time to put there head down, the bullet wouldnt reach them anyways.

[Draious]

erm what? You make no sence at all.

[hamsterattack1357]

Actually, it does make sence. You just need to read it and actually use your brain.

[Draious]

No, it doesn't make sence

[hamsterattack1357]

Ok, I'm done arguing with you. It makes perfect sence but hey, whatever you think is right.

[Draious]

First you say you dont have time to put down your head, THEN you say that even if you had time to put your head down, "the bullet wouldnt reach them anyways"

:S

[hamsterattack1357]

i meant you wouldnt have time to put your head down if you heard the ping, but even if someone did have the time to, the bullet wouldnt reach them because they would have to be very far away.

[Draious]

well the bullet travels faster than the speed of sound, so the bullet would reach the person before the sound.

[hamsterattack1357]

Your just not understanding what I am saying, do you? Yes, the bullet will travel faster than the speed of sound, but if you are far enough away where the bullet won't reach, and you can still here the ping, of course, you would automatically duck for cover as a reflex.

[Evision5]

yeah but there's a trick. take an empty cartridge throw it on the ground (your already reloaded)so it makes the ping. enemies think your reloading and stand up and you have a good shot at them.

[awwwwnaaaa]

lol......some one said that.....read my comment below....i said i know that but the ping still got a lot of men killed!

[Evision5]

they did?? damn im late

[Draious]

erm no.. because that ping sound was almost never heard in combat because its not THAT loud.

[Evision5]

WRONG it was heard maybe you fired a later model but the ones that were used in ww2 were heard. or maybe your making this up and never fired a weapon which is it kid

[tviscool1234]

hell yeah

[clayvision]

that sounds freakin awesome the ping in slow motion

[whoman64]

one of the best guns ever...even tho heavy as shit...it could be thrown in mud and not even jam

[hamsterattack1357]

m1 garands would jam alot. it just depends on how good the rifle was made. i have one that never jammed on me yet and i beat the hell out of it. but some ive shot were complete crap. like i said, it just depends.

[crapdice]

wow slow motion sounded kool. sounded spiritual lol

[XmeeperX]

the first ding was the shell hitting a hard surface, and the second one was the real "ping" when the clip ejects out of the gun.

It makes this particular noise because of the metal frame work inside the gun that ejects the clip out of the gun. Since there is no bullets in the clip, the vibrations are greater, and thats how you get that noise.

[BTJE123]

the first one was the gun. watch the slow motion bit and you see it pings before the shell hits anything!!!

[Gorbachev]

It's not in sync.

[FallenxPride]

why did both shots make a Ping?

[DoorofPerception60]

The first shot hit the gong, and the second fire depleted the clip so it ejected.

[acc3642]

why does it do that?

[jtzproductions]

Because a metal thing of the bullet set pops out.

[statewarrant]

The bullets are in a clip, the clip is pushed down into the rifles action. When the last round in the clip is fired, the clip ejects up and out "dinging" on its way. Germans would listen for this "ding" Ding = Empty :(

[abramsgunner21]

or ding = a soldier throwing a clip on the ground and tricking the enemy

[abramsgunner21]

you cant really hear the ding in all the commotions of war

[phonix032]

yeah but i member hearing a story where the soldiers faked a ping like sound and upsy daisy the krauts came up perfect shot. :)

[CommendatoreAndolini]

Apparently they used to do that in Korea quite a bit. One man in the squad would do a 'ping', and as the enemy came the rest of the squad would wipe them out. Devious!

[phonix032]

clever more like it

[jordangraham12]

love that sound aha

[PhirsichMaracuja]

me too ♥♥♥ xD

[LWDNKUMUS]

BTW: The noise is the real thing, just slowed down a few octaves!

[insanetrickster]

PING! Helluva noise.

[neilmcdonald72]

there was a trick to making it go ping that my grandfather said they used to make the japanese think they were out of ammo so they would stick there head up and he would shoot them, but i forgot how.

[schenkerist]

Yeah, the ping is pretty tight but it led to alot of allied deaths in WWII, for example. 1 on 1 combat, whenever the Ally was firing and the german, whenever he heard the 'ping' sound he knew he was out of ammo

[funnyvidsource]

how did that cause a death?

[GMANinGA250]

because he then knew that the allied soldier was out of ammo, so he could come out from cover and shoot him... The way to counter this was either manually eject the clip, or push in more bullets, to avoid the 'PING' that you hear.

Also, some soldiers would carry an empty Garand clip with them, and ping it against something, to make the enemy combatant exit his cover.. Unfortunately (for the enemy), he was most likely greeted with a .30-06 surprise...

[funnyvidsource]

ok now i get it lol a .30-06 surprise thats a "say hello to my lil friend " moment

[redmunkee]

I think that's greatly exaggerated. The garand is one of the fastest loading guns ever made, the first time I fired on, within a couple of hours of playing with it I was able to slap another clip in there before the ejected clip hit the ground. I only imagine American soldiers who trained with this gun for weeks could do it even faster. There really isn't time to react to the ping, by the time the enemy realized that the other guy is empty, he's probably already reloaded.

[Ipokeyou2]

Also what alot of people dont think about is during 1 on 1 combat the other guy is gonna know when your out of ammo:

1)he can probly count to 8

2)the guy is gonna relize when the other guy stoped firing to reload

[lancethedancemaster]

if your shooting at the guy he's not going to be counting he's going to be scared for his life and the only thing that he is going to think about is killing you.

[sloiselle1]

Apparently,  some US soldiers carried empty clips to pop them in the air with the 'ping' so anyone nearby would think they were out, then . . . . . .

[96odtx]

Exactly

[ara9876]

wow that was smart... every soldier knows that

[96odtx]

That was the m1 Garands downfall AND uprise soldiers would throw the empty clip to the ground and could make a ping noise the dude pops up m1 garand wins =]

[thebizzlehimself]

The best sound in World War 2

[ViEtRiCeR]

If I were a soldier during WWII, that would probably be the last sound I want to hear.

[mouse454]

Katyushas

[FargoMarc]

@mouse454 What about Katyushas?

[OsakaLover]

PING! Gotta love it X3

[SkinchyStrider]

that ping is classic

[koobi180]

i love that sound - ping!

[aldeine5]

they do that when its out of ammo

[96peters2k8]

omg i fukin love tht noise
