I have a vid showing in detail how to load, unload, do a partial load, as well as completely disassemble/reassemble an M1 rifle without the use of tools. Quite an ingenius design, no wonder Patton dubbed it the "Greatest battle implement ever devised". 8-rnd capacity, semi auto, easy cleaning, easily accesible safety, extremily reliable/accurate, as well as fast on reloading in a world of bolt actions with mostly 5-6 rnd mags with the exception of the smooth Lee Enfields which has 10! Amazing!
these comments about the clip noise haven't gotten so ridiculous. Now people are saying "Soldeirs in WWII used to unload the gun before they fired the 8th round so enemies didnt hear the ping of the gun"
Just further proof that it is a discovery channel invention
@MrHorizon, LMAO, epic sarcasm!! Cawadooty is a children's video game, THIS is REAL LIFE.
And yes you can reload in World at War.
The reason old games restricted you from reloading, was either the game engine only allowed 1 reload animation per weapon (the Garand mid clip reload required 2 animations). Or, it was to balance out the rifles in the games, since if the M1 was made to realistic specifications, it would be an absolutely unbeatable weapon with no flaws, as it was in real life.
@LoneWolf051 If guns were made to real scale in games, it wouldn't take so many damn shots to kill someone. I could empty a whole clip on someone in a video game and they'd still be alive. While in real life, they'd be dead or seriously injured in one shot. Video game developers aren't worried about realism when it comes to weapons. Assuming you meant "Call of Duty", I would disagree with you saying it is for children with the M rating. Dumbass.
@Gdayguy36 Umm, its obvious that the vast majority is COD gamers are little whiney 18 and under year olds, All I ever see in MP games are little 15 year olds bitching and moaning and yelling "your mom "...thats why huge communities and mainstream games suck like there's no tommorrow. In realistic games like Brothers in Arms, ARMA2 and FH2, guns kill in 1 shot, and unlike Cawadooty, they include actual recoil, and much better ballistics, bullet drop, trajectory, windage, elevation and sounds.
I remember firing at a range once. I brought my G43, SVT40, and a Garand (yes I own them). I hit a jam in my Garand so I unloaded it. When I was about to close the bolt, this kid, probably 12/13, comes up to me and screams "HOW DID YOU DO THAT MISTER?!?!" At the end of that day, I was angry, had a Garand thumb (IT HURTS), and told off a very, VERY missinformed Call of Duty player.
Rock on! I, myself, have never used a Garand first-hand, so it's good to know that you can manually unload it. Something else that cheeses me off is Grease Guns not being used right in FPS games. For example, in Fallout: New Vegas, if you go third-person, you'll see that your character holds the Grease Gun like a TEC-9 which only a n0ob would do. Actually, not even a n0ob would do that. Only some Hollyw0od moron.
@LoneWolf051 True. I'd like to see a S&W M-76 or Carl Gustav M-45 in an FPS game. And I'd like to see more era-authentic PPS-43s instead of PPSh-41s. Sure, the PPSh-41 saw service after the advent of the PPS-43, but when the PPS-43 is more historically accurate, I'd prefer to see it instead of the '41.
WW2 soldiers used the ping to their advantage, what they would do is take an already empty clip, throw it on the ground, and the Japanese would find that as a sign that they are reloading, so when they pop their heads up you got eight rounds to put in their skull
@1airplane21 Very true, almost impossible, the first vid in my favorites list demonstrates very well how hard it is to hear a ping, even in a quite field at close range, let alone across the field amidst the hellish conditions of battle.
@LoneWolf051 its from the top 10 rifles where that guy said that myth, whats even funnier is that some documentary even said that the Garand couldnt be reloaded mid clip
@LoneWolf051 its because alot of people sadly gain their knowledge on guns from games. with WWII games in the past they wouldnt allow reloads because it was too difficult to design that kind of reload. fuckin gamers
@batwat You cant hear the ping in combat, look at the first video in my favorites list.
And in real life, if the enemy somehow managed to attain super-sensitive hearing abilities and actually hears a ping, they would have ignored ping sounds, they know only 1 man is out, not the whole platoon, a ping sound means absolutely nothing in battle.
@csmybuttt Actually the term "clip" derived from the M1 rifle in the first place, before the M1 they were called "chargers" or "stripper feed" When the big bad Garand came along, they actually looked like clips, and thats what they started calling them. Now everyone calls everything "clips" even when its a magazine! LMAO
@LoneWolf051 Oh really? I had no idea. I kinda figured stripper clips were called that since the beginning. I have learned something useful on youtube; a truly rare occasion.
@csmybuttt Yeah really, 99% of the time, all you hear is 10 year old know-it-alls that really dont know anything, or stuck up ignorant people that talk out of their asses, and of course the hordes of spammers and trolls. Thank god for the 1% that actually post things worth reading and learning from.
As for the Garand and the clip, I learned that from a WWII veteran I interviewed a few weeks ago. Though I'd share it.
my friend as a modified m1 garand with a bigger chamber and custom clips so he fires 20 shot before reloading but it ruins the sleek look of the gun because of the chamber coming out of the bottom
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
talk about not knowing what you are talking about. That's a skill set and it took the putz too long to show that he is a moron who's trying to look smart.
Doable yes, practicable no. I could've shot this putz 12 times com during the explanation, and he didn't even fire.
@XGCScrappy, And wasted 12 rounds in the process. Reloading the M1 takes around 4-6 seconds, it was slower in the video because the Colonal wanted to be detailed in how its done, and yes, reloading is VERY practicle, much more than firing remaining rounds, it saves ammo, doesnt give your position away, and reduces the risk of a malfunction, its very easy and quick to reload.
@LoneWolf051 I'm not sure why I'm getting so many negs at my response, can't even see what I said that would piss so many people off. Taking a fully functional partial magazine out in a fire situation is either covered or stupid. Btw, that sound of the 7 round magazine hitting the table will give your position away, just like an empty ammo can hitting the ground from an mg. Drop your rounds on target, then recover. Dang I wish I could see what I wrote.
Well, for one, its caled a CLIP, not a magazine, second, with ammo in in the clip, it wont mak the pinging sound, because the bullets muffling the sound if it hit a hard surface, 3rd, you'd never let your ammo fall to the ground, youd let it eject up into you palm, hen put it in your pocket. Yes, yif you were suppressing an enemy position from over, you'd fire till empty, but when in close range, or on concrete streets, you'd avoid firing all 8 shots, because the empty clip is very loud.
@LoneWolf051 I'm not sure how to approach this. First, this technique is a skill set that requires a very complicated muscle movement of the hands. Under stress, some guys can't even find their mouth with the canteen and that's when the shooting has stopped. You speak of catching them all in your hand. Go back to my previous statement. I agree the ping is very loud at close quarters. We must be at odds about whether as part of a squad you move and shoot as individuals or a team.
@XGCScrappy Yeah with stress reloading any weapon would be more difficult, but reloading an M1 is quicker than in this video, just that 2 step process, plus you'd cup your hand over the receiver to catch the clip as it popped out, or even keep slight pressure on the clip while you press the clip latch, you it really doesnt fly out, it just gently releases up into your hand. Typically firing till empty is the primary and quickest way of firing a firearm, but reloading pre-maturely is also good.
@LoneWolf051 Yea I voted up on your comment. It is a non combat staple to top off. With an en bloc the guy deciding to eject and recharge had better be sure there will be no firing till he's loaded. I think it's a skill set that was not taught on purpose. Just like we don't teach recruits to balance the magazine in their hand and exchange a partial for a full with one hand.
BTW, have you ever tried to reload an en bloc clip, while looking down the sights.
@LoneWolf051 I wish you'd not replied so readily, if you reload this particular weapon, there is no purpose to be at the ready, you cannot fire on the ready with the M1. Like I said this was not taught on purpose.
The M1 is a stable shooting rifle, and has no deficiency in ammo capacity. It's only perceived deficiency was corrected by a magazine. This cowboy mentality to correct something that leaves a soldier without one shot for more than one second, wasn't it "hey look at me, I can do..
@Fragaholik A bandolier is a series of 6 cotton pouches attached to a cotton strap, worn diagonally across the soldier's chest, the bandolier can hold up to 6 clips of ammunition, (1 clip in each pouch).....next time, know what you're talking about, now you just made yourself look like a fool in front of everyone who reads your uneducated post.
Youd fire 6 shots, eject the clip, put it away for later, or until you can top it off after combat, Then load in a fresh clip.
The military always urged troops to enter every situation wil full ammo, since you never know when you might need all 8 rounds, even if you fired 3 or 4 shots, then have been ordered to move around the corner of a building, or clear a house, or move up a street or alley way, you'd ALWAYS reload and put in a new 8 round clip, reloading only takes 5 seconds to do.
And regarding the clip sound, thats only if its empty, if theres still ammo in it when it hit the ground, it'd sound like it did in the video, ie, nothing like a ping, plus when next to other people shooting, you'd never hear it, let alone an enemy 100 yards away.
@LoneWolf051 12 hits at 300 yrds is not a waste of ammo, and I'm glad we're discussing this. I can accurately shoot a clip, and reload it and fire the first shot in less than three. First try, 100 yrd range, 16 hits, 19.1 seconds. I tried the tactical reload, I couldn't beat 1 rnd/sec and couldn't get 1 rnd reload after a shot back up to shoot in less than 2.7 sec. I can dump a magazine and reload a fresh, charge and fire in less that 1.5 sec, with a AR, M14, and any pistol.
@XGCScrappy Reloading of course has its many benefits aswell, yes it isnt as fast as firing till empty, but its trade offs are that it saves ammo, reduces your risk of a malfunction, and depending on the situation, can keep your exact position less of a target as it would be by blasting rounds off just to empty the clip. Combat as we all know is extremely diverse and constantly changing, so you never know when that mid-clip reload will save your neck.
ROFL, yall are too funny, I figured out how to see what I wrote. Couch potatoe cowboys. I guess you were there winning the fight for the good guys. So school me on how I can stand and reload for the purpose that I shant give away my position after I've fired and my squad is still firing. Yall've never been shot at. Bunch of panty wastes.
@XGCScrappy *Facepalm*, Reloading has multiple purposes, for saving ammo mainly, then in close quarters combat when outnumbered or alone, reloading to avoid the enemy hearing the pinging sound, as well as saving your ammo. When in a firefight, you reload to save ammo, not to hide the fact that your out of ammo, since 90% of the time, the sound of combat will dwarf the minor sound of the ping.
nice well my dad has a hiking gun to find food because he is in the army and he teach me how to shoot the 30 cal. and no i am not 40 year old i put my dads age and i am heck 14 year old but cool but my dad doesn't let me reload the 30 call because he has the ammo pack
i believe it was Medal of honor allied assault that started that myth. Kids playin video games and all of a sudden becoming experts on the matter. Strange tho, bc i think i remember being able to reload the M1 in the original MOH for the playstation. Wonder why they changed it?
I think because AA and FL's engine only llwed 1 reload animation for each weapon, it'd seem foolish to fire 3 rounds, you then hit "reload" then it shows you insert a fresh 8 round clip, making a total of 13 rounds!
But at least they could've explained that to everyone.
Yeah thats another myth, in that its somehow "Hard" to do, if it was as hard as some morons make it seem, the government would have never issued the rifle. I know I can reload my M1 in about 5 seconds, perfect if you're behind even hasty cover in combat, Anyways, (in reality), its very easy to reload, and as the Colonal said, "anyone who says otherwise, doesnt know what they're talking about."
My brother believes what Call of Duty 3 says which is that you can't reload the M1 until all 8 rounds are shot which is bull I've talked to vets and they all say it can be reloaded by doing this!
Sometimes.....though one thing that a Marine or Soldier would like to do was to take an empty Enbloc clip and throw it against a hard surface to replicate the Ping sound somewhat this would sometimes confuse the enemy. Bad news for them if it did.
thats how my friends granddad got his kills he would throw his spare clip at the phone poll and it would ping german guy would pop up thinking he is out and BLAM!! he was toast
They also used to throw empty clips on the ground specifically to make the PING sound so the enemy would think they just ran out of ammo and then when the enemy popped out of cover...BANG
The less rounds you have in the enbloc clip to dampen the "ping", the more noise it's going to make when you push the clip release. Whether you fired the last round or not.
@joke312 I think it would have been better if they designed it that when the last round was fired, the charging handle locks to the rear so you know its out, then you can just press the button on the side and put your hand over the empty clip and remove it manaually, so it didnt make a ping sound, then insert a new clip.
So you are saying the bad guys could hear a ping noise of an emptying M1 over the cacophony of battle? The gunfire of friend and foe? The screams of the wounded and dying?
I very much doubt any real soldier bothered doing that, being busy are they are trying to kill the enemy before they can kill him.
@Thesixthgoon Couldn't agree more. Even if they were snipers, if you can hear the ping of the clip but not the shot itself--you need help. I'm so sick of people making stuff up.
Very much so. I talked to some veterans who said the same thing. Thats where I get the info from. I didn't pull it out of my ass. Lol. Youre right they wouldn't be bothered with it but its also called strategy. If they DID happen to hear the ping then they could always pull off a shot on the guys with the M1. Idk details Im just saying what I heard.
@Thesixthgoon He is completely right. The ping did get quite a few soldiers killed. Maybe you should take a history lesson before you try to act smart.
@joke312 yes they were very smart, some of them even took an empty clip and threw it on the ground to represent the ping and shoot the enemys when they pop up
@legoman5188 That would only happen 1 time out of 50. 99% of the time the ping is impossible to hear outside of 10 feet, so in order for the enemy to hear a real or "fake" clip eject, they'd need to be within 10 feet of you.
@legoman5188 The Garand "ping" happens when the clip is ejected, and doesn't make much sound at all unless it falls on something hard. And really when it comes down to it, if you were shooting at several squads of guys, how would you know WHOSE M1 just went empty?
@joke312 Crippled Pidgeon pretty much covered it. The ping only happens when the ejected clip hits hard ground like concrete. Unless 20 'pings' occured at the same time, it wouldn't matter if there was a ping or not.
@TacTeppo It is idiotic, I mean how many "7th shots" do you hear in battle? like one guy is on his 5th shot, another guy is on his 3rd shot, another guy is on his 6th shot, another guy is on his 2nd shot....And you dont know WHO is on what shot, so you can only go by the ping sound, but then again, theres ping sounds going off all over, one guy is out, 10 others are still loaded and locked pointing at you. The ping noise is NO reason to poke your head up. Its a myth blown out of proportion.
@joke312 thats a total myth my friend. with a bunch of soldiers fire beside you along with all the enemy and their soldiers firing beside them, along with any artillery shells going off and exploding along with grenades and yelling. the ping is the last thing on their minds and the last thing they would hear/focus on
@Nitoryuu Not to mention the 6 or 7 other riflemen along with a carbine or two, a thompson, and BAR gunner. Basically, hearing a ping noise, doesn mean a thing to the Germans.
@joke312 when you have 40 other guys shooting, some arty poping off, gernades, MG's and yelling, yournot going to hear the ping. i own a m1, and i made i vid of it thats on here.
even if they did hear it, you cna realod that thing if a few seconds. quicker if you have a clip held in your hand. they would do taht if they knew there were going to fire from a fixed position using supressive fire.
your right, but wrong. some might have been parnoyed, but others did not give a damn lol
@silencedknight Only when clearing out houses and room to room fighting where the ping was actually audible, of course in outdoor combat, it was impossible to hear, and it wasnt problem.
@joke312 Yes. Frankly I find that your claim is inadmissible as you have no proof, and that it is ridiculous. Why would soldiers trouble themselves with the noise that their clips made upon ejection since: it takes seemingly more time to reload a Garand in the fashion you stated; the clips make barely any noise compared to a rifle's report; the heat of combat creates confusion?
@joke312 Its obvious the sound is drowned out in the in of battle, the rifles shot is far louder than the sound of the clip ejecting, and if you're shooting on grass, mud or dirt, the softness of the ground completely muffles the sound, all you see is the clip pop out, with no sound. I am a reenactor of WWII battles, I fight with my M1 all the time. If it was such a HUGE problem, youd think BY NOW at least 1 vet would mention it, yet no veteran so far has ever mentioned it beng "dreaded"
@joke312 The only ones who metion the ping being so "deadly" and "feared", are the contemporary, modern armchair "experts" who've probably never even fired a real M1, let alon been in battle with one. I only believe the ones who were there for real, and did it themselves, and off my personal experiences with it, and so far, no evidence supports the clip sound being a problem in combat.
@LoneWolf051 I'm goin off what I have read. I havent fired an M1 either so I am going off that. The clip sound might not be a problem if you are in combat because of all the fire going on, but let's say you have that attentive Nazi that just so happened to notice it, it would probably not fare well. But like I said, just going off what I have researched.
@joke312 And he'll only notice it at extreme close range, at a range where bayonets and fists begin take prevelance over firearms. That's based off my experiences in reenactments with the M1. Most times with the M1, as a German, you just see the clip pop out with no sound, especially on grass, dirt, mud, sand, snow, or any soft, or semi-soft surface.
Hahaha this is awesome! My friend has played many WW2 video games of which you cannot reload the M1 Garand and fervently insists upon the fact that it is impossible to reload, let alone partially reload, an M1 without "breaking the gun." He seems to think because he's held the rifle in a parking lot means he knows everything about it. I always tell him the exact same thing as in this video, but because I don't own a Garand I can't prove it. Well, until now.
If you mean you can only reload an M1 if its been modified, then your wrong. ALL M-1 rifles are able to reload mid clip, its standard on all M-1 rifles, the clip release doubles as the devise that holds the clip in the magazine, so if theres no clip release latch, then loading a clip in the rifle would be impossible.
The rifle in this video is a stock standard model, nothing "modified" about it, I've operated hundreds of M-1s in my time, and ALL of them were identical.
You do know that I was wrong about the modifying thing. I was told some incorrect information. So before you go commenting on a really old comment you should think a little.
I reload all the time, and if you wish to survive in combat, you'd better make sure you ALWAYS have a full clip.
Just make sure the bolt is fully locked back, then eject the clip, then load a new one fast, dont keep your thumb in the magazine any longer than it needs to be, just in and out as fast as you can.
If you are for real about your thumb. Watch what he does with his right hand. He slides it down the right hand side with the fingers pointed down. The knife edge of the hand is against the charging handle. You don't let it close on your thumb.
I press the back up of my hand up against the part of the oprod that allows you to manually open the chamber. I then just press the clip down until I feel a click and know it's locked in. Then just push or snap it shut.
Day Of Defeat Source Message( After shooting one or two round of the M1 Garand and trying to reload it) : You cannot reload the M1 unless its clip is empty. VERY REALISTIC GAME
LOL, I really only play Brothers in Arms. Plus I shoot my M1 all the time at the range, so all those cheap little video game myths about it just look so stupid, especially after you operate the real thing.
Hey, here's a question. After firing a couple rounds through the Garand, is it possible hold or lock back the action and load a few rounds in to top it up like in a bold action rifle? As in to go from 5 rounds to 8 rounds without ejecting the clip. Just something I've been pondering. Unfortunately I've yet to fire an actual M1 Garand... I own a Springfield M1911-A1 Mil Spec though.
Well, yes it is possible, but the clip is somewhat uniquely designed, and single rounds are hard to load in while the clip is in the Magazine, its better to eject the clip, and load in a new one.
partially fired clips could be loaded too, like stated in the video, but those are kinds tricky too, because the partial clips have rounds missing, and thus the remaining rounds are sitting loose in the clip, and can get scattered easily, so you'd have to be careful.
Yeah, the ping would be nice to hear, but soldiers in the field tended to unload the M1 before hitting the last 2 rounds, as to avoid the somewhat risky ping, you just never know when some wise guy might be only a few feet away waiting for that ping, games that force players to fire off all the rounds is quite unrealistic, sure most soldiers fired all 8 rounds, but the option should ALWAYS be there, just like real life.
Yes, that's exactly right. There are reports that soldiers were being killed and/or wounded because the "ping" was giving away their position. I have also read that U.S. troops used this to their advantage so when the German riflemen heard the "ping", they would reveal themselves to kill the U.S. troops, but other Allied troops would take them out before they could fire. The M-1 rifle, though, was still a very effective weapon and had great accuracy and power thanks to it .30-06 cartridge round.
Yeah, my grandpa, who was a 101st paratrooper told me that trick that was used, it wasnt really that common to use in battle, but in close quarter combat or when outnumbered, GIs used that trick, just to be safe.
The clip latch is the devise that holds the clip in the rifle, without the clip latch, the clips would be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to load into the rifle. ALL M1s produced, (regardless of what company), had a clip latch.
Without the clip latch, the M1 would be all but useless because it would be IMPOSSIBLE to load.
Garands were made by the following companies from 1932 to 1957:
Springfield Armory (1932-1957)
Winchester (1941-1945)
International Harvester (1953-1956)
Harrington & Richardson (1953-1956)
I've handled many of these, and All had clip latches. They were all designed from basically the same blueprints, with interchangeable parts between all manufacturers.
I second that, I have 3 M1s, 2 are 1941s H&R, and the other is a late model 1945 SA. All are identical, though the SA needs a new clip latch and spring, its wearing out.
Thats what I dont like about the other games, they seem to think it cant be reloaded, all they need to do is some simple research. I mean saying an M1 cant be reloaded till all the rounds have been fired, is like saying an M16 cant be reloaded till you finish the whole magazine, it makes no sense.
Just the PS1 versions, those were fine, but AA and FL were the first ones with the "disease", and it STILL carries on today. When will those numbskulls learn?
I disagree, my grandpa told me that it was possible, you had a chance the gun would jam, and you'd be outta luck. The marnies tought and trained them not too.
it's no fun when it doesn't go "PING!!!"

I remember firing at a range once. I brought my G43, SVT40, and a Garand (yes I own them). I hit a jam in my Garand so I unloaded it. When I was about to close the bolt, this kid, probably 12/13, comes up to me and screams "HOW DID YOU DO THAT MISTER?!?!" At the end of that day, I was angry, had a Garand thumb (IT HURTS), and told off a very, VERY missinformed Call of Duty player.

LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 its because alot of people sadly gain their knowledge on guns from games. with WWII games in the past they wouldnt allow reloads because it was too difficult to design that kind of reload. fuckin gamers

@reaperflynn3 That, and the fact that alot of older game engines only allowed one reload animation per weapon.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@batwat You cant hear the ping in combat, look at the first video in my favorites list.
And in real life, if the enemy somehow managed to attain super-sensitive hearing abilities and actually hears a ping, they would have ignored ping sounds, they know only 1 man is out, not the whole platoon, a ping sound means absolutely nothing in battle.

One of the few guns where the word 'clip' is relevant.
csmybuttt 1 year ago
@csmybuttt Actually the term "clip" derived from the M1 rifle in the first place, before the M1 they were called "chargers" or "stripper feed" When the big bad Garand came along, they actually looked like clips, and thats what they started calling them. Now everyone calls everything "clips" even when its a magazine! LMAO

XGCScrappy 1 year ago
@XGCScrappy, And wasted 12 rounds in the process. Reloading the M1 takes around 4-6 seconds, it was slower in the video because the Colonal wanted to be detailed in how its done, and yes, reloading is VERY practicle, much more than firing remaining rounds, it saves ammo, doesnt give your position away, and reduces the risk of a malfunction, its very easy and quick to reload.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 I'm not sure why I'm getting so many negs at my response, can't even see what I said that would piss so many people off. Taking a fully functional partial magazine out in a fire situation is either covered or stupid. Btw, that sound of the 7 round magazine hitting the table will give your position away, just like an empty ammo can hitting the ground from an mg. Drop your rounds on target, then recover. Dang I wish I could see what I wrote.
XGCScrappy 1 year ago
Well, for one, its caled a CLIP, not a magazine, second, with ammo in in the clip, it wont mak the pinging sound, because the bullets muffling the sound if it hit a hard surface, 3rd, you'd never let your ammo fall to the ground, youd let it eject up into you palm, hen put it in your pocket. Yes, yif you were suppressing an enemy position from over, you'd fire till empty, but when in close range, or on concrete streets, you'd avoid firing all 8 shots, because the empty clip is very loud.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago 7
@LoneWolf051 I'm not sure how to approach this. First, this technique is a skill set that requires a very complicated muscle movement of the hands. Under stress, some guys can't even find their mouth with the canteen and that's when the shooting has stopped. You speak of catching them all in your hand. Go back to my previous statement. I agree the ping is very loud at close quarters. We must be at odds about whether as part of a squad you move and shoot as individuals or a team.
XGCScrappy 1 year ago
@XGCScrappy Yeah with stress reloading any weapon would be more difficult, but reloading an M1 is quicker than in this video, just that 2 step process, plus you'd cup your hand over the receiver to catch the clip as it popped out, or even keep slight pressure on the clip while you press the clip latch, you it really doesnt fly out, it just gently releases up into your hand. Typically firing till empty is the primary and quickest way of firing a firearm, but reloading pre-maturely is also good.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 Yea I voted up on your comment. It is a non combat staple to top off. With an en bloc the guy deciding to eject and recharge had better be sure there will be no firing till he's loaded. I think it's a skill set that was not taught on purpose. Just like we don't teach recruits to balance the magazine in their hand and exchange a partial for a full with one hand.
BTW, have you ever tried to reload an en bloc clip, while looking down the sights.
XGCScrappy 1 year ago
@XGCScrappy LOL, While aiming down the sights, cant say I have, though I did eject a clip while looking down the sights once.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 I wish you'd not replied so readily, if you reload this particular weapon, there is no purpose to be at the ready, you cannot fire on the ready with the M1. Like I said this was not taught on purpose.
The M1 is a stable shooting rifle, and has no deficiency in ammo capacity. It's only perceived deficiency was corrected by a magazine. This cowboy mentality to correct something that leaves a soldier without one shot for more than one second, wasn't it "hey look at me, I can do..
XGCScrappy 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 Well for one, it's called a BANDOLIER, not a clip. and second, fuck you.
Fragaholik 8 months ago
@Fragaholik A bandolier is a series of 6 cotton pouches attached to a cotton strap, worn diagonally across the soldier's chest, the bandolier can hold up to 6 clips of ammunition, (1 clip in each pouch).....next time, know what you're talking about, now you just made yourself look like a fool in front of everyone who reads your uneducated post.
LoneWolf051 8 months ago 10
Youd fire 6 shots, eject the clip, put it away for later, or until you can top it off after combat, Then load in a fresh clip.
The military always urged troops to enter every situation wil full ammo, since you never know when you might need all 8 rounds, even if you fired 3 or 4 shots, then have been ordered to move around the corner of a building, or clear a house, or move up a street or alley way, you'd ALWAYS reload and put in a new 8 round clip, reloading only takes 5 seconds to do.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
And regarding the clip sound, thats only if its empty, if theres still ammo in it when it hit the ground, it'd sound like it did in the video, ie, nothing like a ping, plus when next to other people shooting, you'd never hear it, let alone an enemy 100 yards away.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 12 hits at 300 yrds is not a waste of ammo, and I'm glad we're discussing this. I can accurately shoot a clip, and reload it and fire the first shot in less than three. First try, 100 yrd range, 16 hits, 19.1 seconds. I tried the tactical reload, I couldn't beat 1 rnd/sec and couldn't get 1 rnd reload after a shot back up to shoot in less than 2.7 sec. I can dump a magazine and reload a fresh, charge and fire in less that 1.5 sec, with a AR, M14, and any pistol.
XGCScrappy 1 year ago
@XGCScrappy Reloading of course has its many benefits aswell, yes it isnt as fast as firing till empty, but its trade offs are that it saves ammo, reduces your risk of a malfunction, and depending on the situation, can keep your exact position less of a target as it would be by blasting rounds off just to empty the clip. Combat as we all know is extremely diverse and constantly changing, so you never know when that mid-clip reload will save your neck.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
ROFL, yall are too funny, I figured out how to see what I wrote. Couch potatoe cowboys. I guess you were there winning the fight for the good guys. So school me on how I can stand and reload for the purpose that I shant give away my position after I've fired and my squad is still firing. Yall've never been shot at. Bunch of panty wastes.
XGCScrappy 1 year ago
@XGCScrappy *Facepalm*, Reloading has multiple purposes, for saving ammo mainly, then in close quarters combat when outnumbered or alone, reloading to avoid the enemy hearing the pinging sound, as well as saving your ammo. When in a firefight, you reload to save ammo, not to hide the fact that your out of ammo, since 90% of the time, the sound of combat will dwarf the minor sound of the ping.

I think because AA and FL's engine only llwed 1 reload animation for each weapon, it'd seem foolish to fire 3 rounds, you then hit "reload" then it shows you insert a fresh 8 round clip, making a total of 13 rounds!

The less rounds you have in the enbloc clip to dampen the "ping", the more noise it's going to make when you push the clip release. Whether you fired the last round or not.
Anonymerica 1 year ago
@joke312 I think it would have been better if they designed it that when the last round was fired, the charging handle locks to the rear so you know its out, then you can just press the button on the side and put your hand over the empty clip and remove it manaually, so it didnt make a ping sound, then insert a new clip.

legoman5188 1 year ago
@legoman5188 That would only happen 1 time out of 50. 99% of the time the ping is impossible to hear outside of 10 feet, so in order for the enemy to hear a real or "fake" clip eject, they'd need to be within 10 feet of you.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@legoman5188 The Garand "ping" happens when the clip is ejected, and doesn't make much sound at all unless it falls on something hard. And really when it comes down to it, if you were shooting at several squads of guys, how would you know WHOSE M1 just went empty?
CrippledPidgeon 1 year ago
@joke312 Crippled Pidgeon pretty much covered it. The ping only happens when the ejected clip hits hard ground like concrete. Unless 20 'pings' occured at the same time, it wouldn't matter if there was a ping or not.

@TacTeppo It is idiotic, I mean how many "7th shots" do you hear in battle? like one guy is on his 5th shot, another guy is on his 3rd shot, another guy is on his 6th shot, another guy is on his 2nd shot....And you dont know WHO is on what shot, so you can only go by the ping sound, but then again, theres ping sounds going off all over, one guy is out, 10 others are still loaded and locked pointing at you. The ping noise is NO reason to poke your head up. Its a myth blown out of proportion.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@joke312 thats a total myth my friend. with a bunch of soldiers fire beside you along with all the enemy and their soldiers firing beside them, along with any artillery shells going off and exploding along with grenades and yelling. the ping is the last thing on their minds and the last thing they would hear/focus on

joke312 10 months ago
@joke312 Yes. Frankly I find that your claim is inadmissible as you have no proof, and that it is ridiculous. Why would soldiers trouble themselves with the noise that their clips made upon ejection since: it takes seemingly more time to reload a Garand in the fashion you stated; the clips make barely any noise compared to a rifle's report; the heat of combat creates confusion?
Pankakeface2 10 months ago
@joke312 Its obvious the sound is drowned out in the in of battle, the rifles shot is far louder than the sound of the clip ejecting, and if you're shooting on grass, mud or dirt, the softness of the ground completely muffles the sound, all you see is the clip pop out, with no sound. I am a reenactor of WWII battles, I fight with my M1 all the time. If it was such a HUGE problem, youd think BY NOW at least 1 vet would mention it, yet no veteran so far has ever mentioned it beng "dreaded"
LoneWolf051 10 months ago
@joke312 The only ones who metion the ping being so "deadly" and "feared", are the contemporary, modern armchair "experts" who've probably never even fired a real M1, let alon been in battle with one. I only believe the ones who were there for real, and did it themselves, and off my personal experiences with it, and so far, no evidence supports the clip sound being a problem in combat.
LoneWolf051 10 months ago
@LoneWolf051 I'm goin off what I have read. I havent fired an M1 either so I am going off that. The clip sound might not be a problem if you are in combat because of all the fire going on, but let's say you have that attentive Nazi that just so happened to notice it, it would probably not fare well. But like I said, just going off what I have researched.
joke312 9 months ago
@joke312 And he'll only notice it at extreme close range, at a range where bayonets and fists begin take prevelance over firearms. That's based off my experiences in reenactments with the M1. Most times with the M1, as a German, you just see the clip pop out with no sound, especially on grass, dirt, mud, sand, snow, or any soft, or semi-soft surface.

You can reload a partially empty clip from a M1 IF it's modified.
picassopainter2 2 years ago
What do you mean "modified"?
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
If you mean you can only reload an M1 if its been modified, then your wrong. ALL M-1 rifles are able to reload mid clip, its standard on all M-1 rifles, the clip release doubles as the devise that holds the clip in the magazine, so if theres no clip release latch, then loading a clip in the rifle would be impossible.
The rifle in this video is a stock standard model, nothing "modified" about it, I've operated hundreds of M-1s in my time, and ALL of them were identical.

I reload all the time, and if you wish to survive in combat, you'd better make sure you ALWAYS have a full clip.
Just make sure the bolt is fully locked back, then eject the clip, then load a new one fast, dont keep your thumb in the magazine any longer than it needs to be, just in and out as fast as you can.
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
If you are for real about your thumb. Watch what he does with his right hand. He slides it down the right hand side with the fingers pointed down. The knife edge of the hand is against the charging handle. You don't let it close on your thumb.
c9ari 2 years ago
I press the back up of my hand up against the part of the oprod that allows you to manually open the chamber. I then just press the clip down until I feel a click and know it's locked in. Then just push or snap it shut.

When you reload keep your thumb flat and the side of your hand on the op rod. That way if it starts to come forward your hand will catch it.

Hey, here's a question. After firing a couple rounds through the Garand, is it possible hold or lock back the action and load a few rounds in to top it up like in a bold action rifle? As in to go from 5 rounds to 8 rounds without ejecting the clip. Just something I've been pondering. Unfortunately I've yet to fire an actual M1 Garand... I own a Springfield M1911-A1 Mil Spec though.
NormanMatchem 2 years ago
Well, yes it is possible, but the clip is somewhat uniquely designed, and single rounds are hard to load in while the clip is in the Magazine, its better to eject the clip, and load in a new one.
partially fired clips could be loaded too, like stated in the video, but those are kinds tricky too, because the partial clips have rounds missing, and thus the remaining rounds are sitting loose in the clip, and can get scattered easily, so you'd have to be careful.

Yeah, the ping would be nice to hear, but soldiers in the field tended to unload the M1 before hitting the last 2 rounds, as to avoid the somewhat risky ping, you just never know when some wise guy might be only a few feet away waiting for that ping, games that force players to fire off all the rounds is quite unrealistic, sure most soldiers fired all 8 rounds, but the option should ALWAYS be there, just like real life.
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
Yes, that's exactly right. There are reports that soldiers were being killed and/or wounded because the "ping" was giving away their position. I have also read that U.S. troops used this to their advantage so when the German riflemen heard the "ping", they would reveal themselves to kill the U.S. troops, but other Allied troops would take them out before they could fire. The M-1 rifle, though, was still a very effective weapon and had great accuracy and power thanks to it .30-06 cartridge round.

HemiFreak94 2 years ago
Not true dude.
The clip latch is the devise that holds the clip in the rifle, without the clip latch, the clips would be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to load into the rifle. ALL M1s produced, (regardless of what company), had a clip latch.
Without the clip latch, the M1 would be all but useless because it would be IMPOSSIBLE to load.

Garands were made by the following companies from 1932 to 1957:
Springfield Armory (1932-1957)
Winchester (1941-1945)
International Harvester (1953-1956)
Harrington & Richardson (1953-1956)
I've handled many of these, and All had clip latches. They were all designed from basically the same blueprints, with interchangeable parts between all manufacturers.

I second that, I have 3 M1s, 2 are 1941s H&R, and the other is a late model 1945 SA. All are identical, though the SA needs a new clip latch and spring, its wearing out.

@LoneWolf051 1941 Harrington & Richardson Garand? How is that possible? H&R started their production during the Korean War in the 50s.

@coolmike1989 Yeah thats right, I looked at it and its actually a 1941 Winchester, dont know why I thought it was an H&R.

You can also unload it by shooting it... kind of what I thought you were going to do

why would you want to waste the ammo, instead you'd just eject it, and save the ammo.

Good video. Very useful.

Yeah?
I think the news versions of MoH are sometimes worser than the oldest.

but in bia:hh the mid-clip reload of the m1 is super-irrealistic. its just like the no bullets left reload. how realistic is that?
FIFA07Addicted 2 years ago
Yeah, it needs to eject the clip, then insert a new clip.
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
yeah in some games you can' t reload the garand in the midclip
m1garand44 2 years ago
Thats what I dont like about the other games, they seem to think it cant be reloaded, all they need to do is some simple research. I mean saying an M1 cant be reloaded till all the rounds have been fired, is like saying an M16 cant be reloaded till you finish the whole magazine, it makes no sense.
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
yea, that' s shit
in the Brothers in Arms series you can reload it, and in the new COD:WaW
m1garand44 2 years ago
And in the original MOHs.
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
Not all.

Just the PS1 versions, those were fine, but AA and FL were the first ones with the "disease", and it STILL carries on today. When will those numbskulls learn?
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
ok
I had no PS1 versions

Those were great MOHs, I've got a lot of the soundtracks to them including MOH:Underground on my profile favorites.
LoneWolf051 2 years ago
cuz the games were to crappy to implement the option

I disagree, my grandpa told me that it was possible, you had a chance the gun would jam, and you'd be outta luck. The marnies tought and trained them not too.
