@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.

it's no fun when it doesn't go "PING!!!"

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!

@LoneWolf051 Well for one, it's called a BANDOLIER, not a clip. and second, fuck you.

@strongdiddy Or you could just hit them with the butt of your rifle

[strongdiddy]

this game sucked because you could not buttstroke or knife people. so when the germans were in your face you were fucked.

@joke312 Yep, it did in some rare occasions lead to the death of the American GI.

@LoneWolf051 I would assume that is what was the killer in that case. And youre right.

[LoneWolf051]

@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.

@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.
