has anyone made an adaptation to the greatness that isthe M1 garand, so the magazine goes under the barrel so it can hold more than 8 rouunds? what i mean by that is i want absolutely nothing changed by the ammo capasity.
@mjmai2457 honestly...who would hear it? think for a moment with me. deafened soldiers, explosions and gunshots everywhere, yelling and screaming all around and in the midst of it all a small *ting* from an M1 garand running out of ammo in the clip. it wont be heard unless its like vietnam and its in the middle of the night and he dropped one on a rock and not some soft leaves and brush.
will people ever get the difference between a mag and a clip. in a garand it is a clip. a clip is fully inserted in the gun and has nothing sticking out of the gun. so the m1 is an example. most pistols like a 1911 is another. now a m16 or ar15 or ak47 use magazines. which extend out of the gun. stop sounding like idiots and get it right.
@TheApplefan94 Exactly!, the M1 inserts the clip into it's fixed internal magazine, clips are jut simple molded pieces of tin metal used to "clip" bullets together, while magazines are enclosed metal boxes that have a spring at the bottom.
@SavageJim01 Its called a Magazine, they are not the same, people just interchange them like they were, Older firearms use stripper clips to load their magazines an M1 is unique because its en bloc clip if fed into the magazine and is ment to stay there for operation unlike stripper clips.
@TheDarkstar826 yea but if a enemy was close by and heard that noise,he knew you had to reload and could run up and waste you while you fumble for a clip.
@TheRalphus666 though in REALITY, 1 ping doesnt mean shit to anyone, you run up because you hear a ping sound, you're still going to get pumped full of lead. From the German veterans I've interviewed, they said there just isnt time to care, or pay attention in the heat of close combat, the ping sound was mostly ignored by the Germans in street fighting, even in house fighting, American troops always went in with 2 or 3 man teams, so 1 ping sound doesnt mean anything, other than 1 out of 3 is out
@TheRalphus666 But in normal 150-200 yard open field engagements, the ping is impossible to hear outdoors on grass, at long range, amist extremely loud noise, hell, at my reenactments, you cant even hear the ping even at 20 feet away outdoors on soft ground without any shooting. the ping is so miniscule of a thing that its cannot be considered a flaw, there's a million other things that will get you killed before a near inaudible ping sound does.
@TheRalphus666 Plus runing out of ammo ith ANY weapon is just as dangerous as a ping sound, since the enemy may see you remove the box magazine from the weapon, and see you fumbling around for a new one, at that time you're defencess, so the M1 is no more dangerous that any other weapon when it runs out, plus when you run out with a Garand, you just instantly duck back behind cover, then the enemy cant do anything, if they come at you and they're dead anyways.
@TheRalphus666 PLs this is just all fictional scenerios, in reality, the Germans and Japanese could care lessis a single infantryman is out of ammo, they're still dead of they rush that guy. The ping sound being a dreaded flaw wih the rifle is just a myth, and a poorly made up one, since no veteran I've talked to mentioned it was feared by the users, or that it got thousads of GIs killed. Not saying it didnt happen, its just not at all common, it was simply ignored by the enemy.
@cheesekake22 The people who criticize when, how, and who should shoot a gun, deny all the opportunity to train, and practice. Thank god these nutjobs arent in government.
I don't think a .30 is really considered a big bore, but the 06 kicks pretty good anyway. Love how M1s look/operate, so badass, I hope to get one someday. As it is I only just bought a Mosin Nagant and 40 rounds... it depleated my wallet pathetically enough, so I'm a ways from getting one of these bad boys.
@spokelse0 Of course there is, just theres effective ways and ineffective ways of shooting, shootig arm out is the most stable and effective, and shooting arm down, is very unstable, and impractical when shooting high powered rifles.
everybody who says its a canadian rifle know nothing about the M1 and should just go back and play with their "no where near as sexy" plastic things people call "modern guns"
@deathfromsniper Actually he's shooting it the way its supposed to be shot, the chicken wing opens up a cavity in your shoulder which allows the rifle's buttstock to be placed nice and snug. With your arm down, the muscle actually bulges out right where the buttstock rests, making it bulky and hard to control.
@deathfromsniper No, your chicken wing down makes you a smaller target, it is much harder to aim with your chicken wing down because the upper half of your Pec flexes and creates a hump for the rifle to sit on.
@fezzial but that is the text book way to fire this weapon, the elbow straight out. but the butt shoold be closer to your cheek to prevent the shoolder joint or the bicep from absorbing the rifles full recoil.
actually that is almsot the test book position to fire this weapon. the elbow straight out. but you shoold have the butt more closer to your cheek to prevent the bicep (or the shoolder joint) from absorbing the full recoil.
@B1TCHarlie shot this along with many other modern weapons at a range this past summer and this rifle took the cake. such accuracy and smoothness, its like butter.
Which is then concidered an American rifle. Since legally, technically, and officially, Canada had nothng to do with it, because Garand came up wth the design when he was an American citizen.
I would say that everyone loves the M1 mostly because of the signature sound of the bandolier hitting the ground. Germans utilized that during the war, and when they heard that noise, they knew that the Americans were reloading and did whatever they could to you know the rest I don't need to explain. M1 RULES.
@ncoproductions. some US troops got smart to that and would drop an empty bandolier onto the ground with the rifle fully loaded the Germans didn't like that trick
If you knew which guy was reloading while 7 others were shooting at you at the same time, you deserve an iron cross. The 'ping' wasn't useful unless if you were fighting only one guy..
not neccesarilly..the ping cood also be used for effect :). Amer GIs' wood take an empty clip and throw it onto a hard surface (like a rock) replicate the 'ping' sound..the nme wood charge, you open fire :)
@kenns9 Thats a myth blown way out of proportion over the decades, that only actually happened a few times, nowadays everyone thinks it was actually common to do, which of course it was not.
i'm sure that if "kickass" was in a dictionary or encyclopedia, it would have a picture of .30-06 round, and it would say "see also m1 garand, and nazikiller"
First thing is first. You cannot compare a firearm portraid in a video game to the real thing. I own an M1 Garand and it is by far one of the best rifles ever produced because it is highly accurate (CMP holds competitions with this rifle) and the .30-06 is a very hard hitting round. The 150 grain FMJ used in the M2 Ball ammo designed for that rifle had an impact force of approximately 2600ft lbs. of pressure. Long story short you get hit with that once you're not geting up.
judging by war games i always thunk the garand was really weak but iv seen a few vids on it and evreyone says its like well powerful bled. on waw the garand sucks serious arsehole.
you must be a complete idiot if you think the m1 is weak. plus your comparing a REAL gun to a gun in world at war? a fucking video game? that gun is perfect in every aspect. the only down to it is when the stripper clip makes the "ping" it alerts enemys that their empty.
watch the discovery channel "best rifles ever" on youtube. yes the "ping" was a disadvantage, but the americans used it to there advantage too. they would throw it against somthing like a tree or rock, making the germans think that they were out of ammo, but when the germans would rush a hill, the americans would light them up.
Man, wargames are funny, but they often don't pretend to be realistic. In videogame like waw garand hits are weak to compensate the semiautomatic fire. If the damage was realistic, nobody will use the bolta action rifles in the game...
My father shooted with the garand during the national service, and it was in 1976. Pretty old rifles! :-)
cod 3 it is a very powerful weapon, waw was very off with m1 in my opinion. Then again, i've never fire it at a man so i wouldnt know weather its a one shot to the chest or two shots to kill a full grown man.
According to an old WWII training film that I saw, when firing from the standing position, you want to raise your right elbow up above the rifle for better stability. I've never fired an M1, though, so I don't know if it really helps. If it was important enough to focus on in basic training, then it's probably worth mentioning.
You will hear people refer to that as chicken winging it. Some people will tell you that it's bad form, and others will say it's a matter of personal preference and that it helps with harder recoiling rifles. I think most today are being trained not to, but I'm not a LEO, or military so I may be wrong. I find it more comfortable not to, but fall more into the personal preference category.
@SamTay04 I always thought chickenwing was the proper form for this style of rifle. But the design of the pistol grips on modern battle rifles makes it awkward since your hand is gripping at a vertical angle rather than oblique
well they would also through empty ones against rocks to pretend they were out and the dumbfucks would pop thier heads out and say byby to their brains hahaha
I agree with masterded101. In world war 2 american weaponry couldnt touch the germans. fezzial if that m1 garand was yours you should by a 8mm mauser next. I own one and it is the best deer gun I have ever bought.
is the k98 original or is it a yugo or an rc? Also where did you get it and how much? I might look for one soon right now I have a Glock21, Remington 870, ak-47, colt M4 carbine, and a 1943 Mosin Nagant.
original with nazi proof marks. got it offline for about $400.. it was a steal. it worth well over that much because its in amazing condition and the nazi marks are hard to come by cause most were grinded off. i have a 91/30 mosin also, tulu armory
holy shit I cant believe it was only $400. I bet the guy who sold it found out how much it was worth and felt like a retard. One of my friends bought an original 1941 M1 Garand with original bayonet, grenade launcher, grenade launcher sight, hollowed out grenade, strap for $500 the rifle was in perfect condition to. He sold it for $1200.
hahaha it's all good dude, i remember shooting my ak for the first time on semi and my control over the muzzle climb was just as shitty....oh and the guy below me who likes the gewehr 43...if that gun was so good, why didn't the wermacht use it? it was cheap, and just as easy to make. well maybe because it's a piece of shit. even the fascist reich understood that. no other semi automatic rifle stood up to the beast that was the m1 garand in wwII.
While the 8mm Mauser is a pretty effective cartridge, the G43 did have issues with cleanliness. It was based closely on another German design mimicking captures Soviet SVT-40s, and as such were prone to have issues with getting dirty. The gas system required constant cleaning in order to remain functional.
The rotating bolt action in the Garand was so sturdy, that while proofing some of the prototypes, they were capable of firing rounds that had double the maximum .30-06 chamber pressure.

i'm sure that if "kickass" was in a dictionary or encyclopedia, it would have a picture of .30-06 round, and it would say "see also m1 garand, and nazikiller"

First thing is first. You cannot compare a firearm portraid in a video game to the real thing. I own an M1 Garand and it is by far one of the best rifles ever produced because it is highly accurate (CMP holds competitions with this rifle) and the .30-06 is a very hard hitting round. The 150 grain FMJ used in the M2 Ball ammo designed for that rifle had an impact force of approximately 2600ft lbs. of pressure. Long story short you get hit with that once you're not geting up.

judging by war games i always thunk the garand was really weak but iv seen a few vids on it and evreyone says its like well powerful bled. on waw the garand sucks serious arsehole.
EvilMonk3y1999 2 years ago
you must be a complete idiot if you think the m1 is weak. plus your comparing a REAL gun to a gun in world at war? a fucking video game? that gun is perfect in every aspect. the only down to it is when the stripper clip makes the "ping" it alerts enemys that their empty.
keg77105 2 years ago 2
watch the discovery channel "best rifles ever" on youtube. yes the "ping" was a disadvantage, but the americans used it to there advantage too. they would throw it against somthing like a tree or rock, making the germans think that they were out of ammo, but when the germans would rush a hill, the americans would light them up.

Man, wargames are funny, but they often don't pretend to be realistic. In videogame like waw garand hits are weak to compensate the semiautomatic fire. If the damage was realistic, nobody will use the bolta action rifles in the game...
My father shooted with the garand during the national service, and it was in 1976. Pretty old rifles! :-)

Not to mention that that game has no recoil on any weapons. that whole series is designed for little kids.
On the other hand, Brothers in Arms is the best WWII series of all time.

cod 3 it is a very powerful weapon, waw was very off with m1 in my opinion. Then again, i've never fire it at a man so i wouldnt know weather its a one shot to the chest or two shots to kill a full grown man.

EvilMonk3y1999 have you even seen a 30-06 cartrige?!?! that is a self-proven round!
if you just look at it, somehow or another that round is self-explanitory.

According to an old WWII training film that I saw, when firing from the standing position, you want to raise your right elbow up above the rifle for better stability. I've never fired an M1, though, so I don't know if it really helps. If it was important enough to focus on in basic training, then it's probably worth mentioning.

@AnimeFanatic5602
You will hear people refer to that as chicken winging it. Some people will tell you that it's bad form, and others will say it's a matter of personal preference and that it helps with harder recoiling rifles. I think most today are being trained not to, but I'm not a LEO, or military so I may be wrong. I find it more comfortable not to, but fall more into the personal preference category.
SamTay04 2 years ago
@SamTay04 I always thought chickenwing was the proper form for this style of rifle. But the design of the pistol grips on modern battle rifles makes it awkward since your hand is gripping at a vertical angle rather than oblique

I agree with masterded101. In world war 2 american weaponry couldnt touch the germans. fezzial if that m1 garand was yours you should by a 8mm mauser next. I own one and it is the best deer gun I have ever bought.

is the k98 original or is it a yugo or an rc? Also where did you get it and how much? I might look for one soon right now I have a Glock21, Remington 870, ak-47, colt M4 carbine, and a 1943 Mosin Nagant.
buckshotsniper 2 years ago
original with nazi proof marks. got it offline for about $400.. it was a steal. it worth well over that much because its in amazing condition and the nazi marks are hard to come by cause most were grinded off. i have a 91/30 mosin also, tulu armory
fezzial 2 years ago
holy shit I cant believe it was only $400. I bet the guy who sold it found out how much it was worth and felt like a retard. One of my friends bought an original 1941 M1 Garand with original bayonet, grenade launcher, grenade launcher sight, hollowed out grenade, strap for $500 the rifle was in perfect condition to. He sold it for $1200.

hahaha it's all good dude, i remember shooting my ak for the first time on semi and my control over the muzzle climb was just as shitty....oh and the guy below me who likes the gewehr 43...if that gun was so good, why didn't the wermacht use it? it was cheap, and just as easy to make. well maybe because it's a piece of shit. even the fascist reich understood that. no other semi automatic rifle stood up to the beast that was the m1 garand in wwII.

The g43 was a poorly designed rifle. The gas piston would break easily.

.308 < .30-06 i think ill stick with teh Garand
sethbmth 2 years ago
While the 8mm Mauser is a pretty effective cartridge, the G43 did have issues with cleanliness. It was based closely on another German design mimicking captures Soviet SVT-40s, and as such were prone to have issues with getting dirty. The gas system required constant cleaning in order to remain functional.
The rotating bolt action in the Garand was so sturdy, that while proofing some of the prototypes, they were capable of firing rounds that had double the maximum .30-06 chamber pressure.
