this machine kills commies

[Eddythebandkid]

Canadians have made some kick ass inventions, Eh?

[alex1020]

People arguing over what won WW2 on a M1 video. Grow up and watch the damn thing.

[maxim020408]

this may seem a dumb question but I see that almost every rifle works with a piston except for the M4/AR15. Are there any more rifles/carbines that use direct impingement?

[Triadhaze]

Mmm I love old films like this, propaganda, learning, all that good stuff. Not even joking. The music is wonderful

[ductuslupus87]

Is it true that putting your elbow under the rifle improves accuracy?

[ToneysWorld]

Very nice film amazing that you found it!

[TheCoalMinningAddict]

Love it ;-)!!!!!!!

[edge21str]

Why was this suggested at a pony video?

[12GAshotgunnersrain]

I didnt know the M1 had a rotating bolt. Nice.

[MadSpectro7]

Wait... so the rotation of the bolt ISN'T what causes the ejection?

[bassomanvfr]

Wow, fantastic, thanks so much for posting.

[KiraYamato636]

garand thumb sucks

[JDPublicEnemyNo1]

@KiraYamato636 I agree. It seems like every time I clean my garand, no matter how careful I am, I always end up with garand thumb

[TheSkirmishes]

it must have been something firing 8 rounds non stop

[SemiAuto777]

So complicated, yet so effective...

[Madraeus]

So simple but so amazing!

[FargoMarc]

Actually the M1 Garand is 100% Canadian and the US Government stole it from Canada. J/K Sorry, I was just waiting for that argument to pop up! :-D

[downloadgoblin]

@FargoMarc What's next? Chocolate and beer was invented in Canada too?

[14goldmedals]

Thanks for posting the video. I own a 1954 all original International Harvester M1 Garand.

[kytodd]

@14goldmedals That's great. Always nice to see these classics being well cared for. I have a 1942 M1 Carbine. It shoots very well and is easy to maintain.

[iTsStEpHyyyy]

@14goldmedals lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky lucky

[RiSiNGPHENiX552]

M1 Garands are loud as fuck.

[AshuraShadow08]

@RiSiNGPHENiX552 If you think M1 Garands are load, try firing a .50 caliber BMG. That thing will give you a headache you wouldn't believe. It's the only gun that when you buy it you get an owners manual and bottle of aspirin.

[DrawingForMe]

@RiSiNGPHENiX552 the gun rifle that won the war ^^

[BigMek456]

@DrawingForMe russia did won ww2, not a shitty rifle.

[thehippoman1]

@BigMek456

Actually, the Allies won World War Two. Crediting just Russia is ignorant -_-

[abradras]

@thehippoman1 Actually, bankers made and won all modern wars.. included current wars.

[ThLautenbag]

@thehippoman1 no, he is right. Although allied forces did help to win the war, Russia won the war for the most part. Almost 27 million russian people lost their life in the second world war. They serounded Berlin with 2 million men. They won the war, but the price was high. I'm not pro-Russian or something like that, but it's just what happend.

[flamezealous]

@thehippoman1 Tell them! Imagine how much longer the fighting could have dragged on if Allied Air Forces in the West had not taken out German industry, or knocked out their fuel refineries, or if their navies had not crippled Hitler's global reach on the high seas! Even American materiel aid saw the Soviets through some terrible, terrible times at the hands of Nazi Germany's better trained armed forces.

[80439]

@flamezealous German production of military hardware actually increased in spite of bombing (read up on Albert Speer). The Germans used oil from Romania and until the Soviets took the Ploesti oilfields, the Germans had enough oil. A surface navy was not important to Hitler's goal of occupying a contiguous Europe and the Soviet Union. The Russians did most of the gory fighting of the Wehrmacht and bore the horrible brunt of Hitler's scorched earth policies--unlike France, England and the USA.

[lalablablaification]

@thehippoman1 Russia turned the tides during Stalingrad and pushed the Nazis so far back they lost half of Germany.

[MrSchpankme]

@thehippoman1 .. Once the U.S. boomed the hell out of Germany, they imported the Nazis to the U.S., and created most of the Alphabet Agencies and NASA.

[pballer3232]

@thehippoman1 I completely agree with you but americans are ingorant when they say they won the war. The russians took more shit and did more then the Americans did and we do owe them for not giving up. Im canadian and we get the least amount of credit and our troops took some of the worst shit in the european theatre. but you know "america won the war and bailed us out" bullshit. its so convienient america always comes in to take the glory last minute just like world war 1.

[thehippoman1]

@pballer3232

You're 100% correct, I'm Canadian too, and people always leave out Canada - I guess because it was part of the British Empire. We still, however, fought independently.

Anyway, all I'm saying is that the entire winning of the war was the effort of all the Allies.

"Nationalism is an infantile disease" - Albert Einstein

[SupremeAmerican]

@thehippoman1 wrong. ONLY America won the war. Deal with it.

[thehippoman1]

@SupremeAmerican Obvious troll is obvious, but nice try.

[angryace13]

@BigMek456

Russia would have been sucking there thumbs if it wasn't for the lend lease act and the allies help! that war was won due to a effort of everyones help and everyone pitching in, no one country could have gone agents Germany, Italy, and all the other axes powers alone!

[kaynie143]

@angryace13 did BigMek456 knows what he is saying? he is a dumb guy

[cyberdaemon]

@BigMek456 No rifle won any war actually, it was the people and the weapons/equipment/logistics and so on that won it... Small arms like rifles played small part compared to air forces, navy and artillery action :P

[SamuelSavage777]

@cyberdaemon dont be that guy

[Transporter1022]

Gotta love old war films!

[AshuraShadow08]

This is a cool video!! May I ask where you found this video? I was hoping to get it too, this video really helped me figure out the workings of my M1 Garand

[headshot22331]

i thought the greher was, or was it just the firs to be made just not in combat.

[EvilTwinkyMan]
