@TheWhole9Yards1001 depends on what surface the clip hit, or maybe it hit the top of the receiver when it came back down.
-
@LoneWolf051 but i saw other guys outdoors shooting at a lake and i hear a ping? :(
-
@TheWhole9Yards1001 Thats what it sounds like in real life in the outdoors....not as romantic as hollywood and games make it out to be, is it.
-
@LoneWolf051 Ah, ok. I understand what your original comment meant now. My mistake.
-
@LoneWolf051 I dont want to start an arguement, but if a person is born in Canada, but lives in the US, how does that make their true nationality American? It doesn't. He was a Canadian who worked in America, and developed the weapon on American soil. I agree with that. The M1 is American. The inventor is Canadian.

@burnyourhonda It was invented by American firearms engineer and employee, John Garand, at the Springfield Armory in 1924, and after testing and improvements the military adopted it as the new official service rifle in 1936 and entered service in 1941. M1 is 100% American. Garand's birthplace is irrelivent when talking about the rifle and his career.

@LoneWolf051 No...the M1 Garand was invented by John Garand, a Canadian. It was ADOPTED by the US military in the late 1930's.

@barefootmax729 Well luckily for the M1, it was invented here, by an American citizen, in an American armory.
Man that 30.06 makes a beautiful sound! I want a M1 Garand SOOOOO BAD!!!

@burnyourhonda Of course he's of Canadain roots, he lived there till he was 7 years old, and spent the rest of his life in the US as an American citizen.
