Its gets the job done quick!
Garands go ping but not all battle rifles. So “both go ping” wouldn’t be it.

Love you M1 Garand from Japan.
I wish you guys could fire or own one as a civilian

The ping enamours another one I see.
I had an Arisaka but traded it and a K98 for a 1903A3. Come to America one day and you can fire all 4😉🇺🇸
@@PALACIO254 i moved to the US to do just that. But I got a M1 Garand, AR in 308, and a Henry lever action in .44 magnum. Usually for handguns I like 9mm or my S&W revolver in .357 but the lever action is really growing on me. Its just fun and easy to shoot with decent firepower.

"No rifle is faster than the Lee Enfield."- The British.
"Hold my beer." - America
Ping aside that is bulls++it, the Lee Enfield is a better rifle: It has a stronger action, lighter, more reliable, easier to clean and maintain, accepts longer (non standard) bullets, it doesn't waste ammo with spray and pray mode (questionable but a US Army study concluded that in war an average of 2% of the bullets reach the target so the answer is not spray more but cool off and take better aim), more ammo in the magazine.
*Misses the part where a Canadian invents it
Both the Lee Enfield and M1 Garand are both beautiful rifle's.
@@yjwrangler7819 John Garand moved to the US as a child, and was raised in America, was taught everything he knew about gunsmithing in America, and developed his rifle as an American and for an American company. Acting like just because he was born in Canada means something is quite strange to say the least.
@@banmadabon AH yes we should all still be using bolt action rifles, right? Britain must be pretty stupid too since they did the same thing the US did and adopted the FAL right after WW2... Because "spray and pray," right? You're salty a different country had a better rifle than yours... They both weighed the same. Stronger action based on what? The Garand has never had issues with the chamber blowing up LOL. People throw that around and don't even know what it means. More reliable? It's entire action is exposed to the ingress of mud and filth and is easy to jam... Not to mention the Enfield used rimmed cartridges that were prone to rimlock, impropper loading, and more jamming in the presence of mud. Accepts longer rounds? That's a negative, not a positive, it introduces more reliability problems due to a longer action. This is why the 7.62x51 NATO was developed, to shorten the catridge. Comparing a bolt action rifle to a modern semi-auto is borderline stupidity. Of course the Garand was better, no one has ever argued otherwise, except your dumbass.
Reasons why we like the M1 Garand
1: It’s powerful

3: It has a fast firerate

"You just shot 8 rounds of .30-06. Everyone is DEAF!" -Clint Smith regarding whether anyone heard it go "bling"
Not only that - but EVERYTHING ELSE IS LOUDER
There is a guy who tested this myth, I think called 'bloke on the range'.
He set up a camera down range of an m1 firing, you couldn't hear any ping because the guns just too loud.
@AftrLifKillr watch Clint, then tell me how I should quote him: ruclips.net/video/8YsYYywYFJo/видео.html
I agree, it's a *ping* sound. But when a man who has been gun fighting for half a century says *bling*, you quote him appropriately.
Haha right!??? Lol
I was gonna quote him myself but I see there's no need. I'll add though "you just reload and thank Jesus you have an '06 that goes through them 6-7-8 deep." And as far as the garand thumb issue, I think it's also overstated. Might be more of an issue in the stress of combat but I've never had that issue in a range setting, even with cold, numb hands. The bolt closes when you release pressure on the fresh clip, not when you push it down. If anything, sometimes the bolt doesn't close and you need to give the charging handle a good smack to close the bolt.
The myth that the ping sound costed many American GI's their lives is the most ridiculous myth i have ever heard of. You just shot 8 rounds of 30-06 everyone is deaf!!- Clint smith
The punisher exactly! No documented evidence that it ever happened.
As well as the bullshit theory that GIs would slam empty clips into the ground to get an enemy to expose themselves

Jersie Pro it’s a joke
The German soldier wouldn't hear the ping and if they did it would be useless to him because you are trained not to go anywhere without your battle buddy as an American soldier plus the M1 garand reloads are really fast.
Andrew Chern, I don’t think anyone would hear the ping of an M1 Garand in a firefight. There would be a lot of gunfire to muffle the sound of the ping.
You can’t hear the ping in battle. There’s videos about WW2 Vets talking about this, they couldn’t even hear the ping let alone people around them.

LotsOLuck777 or maybe America is just to much like Canada.
Canadian-American. John Garand held US citizenship.
Socially, economically, and militarily stitched together for the most part. Neither would be in a particularly great situation without the other.
Damn, y'all need to do your own research. Garand was only Canadian for 10 years of his life. His family moved to New England when he was a kid. All the skills that made him a legendary gunsmith were thanks to his upbringing in US workshops, and experiencing American gun culture.
We useing it in Greece even today for the parliament guards
Nice
Americans still use it during drill (commonly for 21 gun salutes). Aside from being revolutionary at the time, it is one beautiful and timeless rifle.

When the Garand Thumb animation popped up, every M1 owner shivered, looked at their thumbnail, and remembered when they felt like the life-alert lady 🤣
Meh I never had that issue, mine is super easy to load without clipping your thumb, the rounds are tight enough where it doesn't slam forward on it's own you really need to rerack it and let it slam after
Very historically accurate. Thank you for pointing out that the "ping alerted the enemy" was a myth. Few sources acknowledge that it's a myth.
I remember watching a History channel special with my dad that mentioned that. When it was stated, my dad jokes about the noisey gunfire and mimicked an enemy soldier by turning his head and pointing at his ear(as if they would be listening for that ping out of the gunfire).
I miss my dad's sense of humor.
Except for the part where he said South Vietnam was the largest recipient of Garand rifles. The largest recipient of Garands was surprisingly, Turkey. They got over 300,000, second was South Korea with a little less than 300K, third was France with over 230,000, and South Vietnam comes in fourth with 220,000.

Videos like this are why I subbed to simple history. Both of my grandpas were issued M1’s during basic training when they were drafted. One of them once told me he had been taught to disassemble and reassembled one blindfolded. My dad told me that back during the 90’s you couldn’t walk into a pawn shop without seeing at least 3 or 4 M1’s in the shop and you could buy them for about 100 dollars apiece. Nowadays, cheap ones start out at about 1000 dollars. I’d like to have one someday but it’d be kinda hard for me to justify paying that much for one. Definitely one if my favorite firearms of all time.
Could you imagine a battle going on and everyone just stopping to hear that ping
Any equipment: exists.
The US Army: Okay it is an M1.
Fun fact the M1 garand was supposed to be 10rd in .276 but when the US asked for 30.06 so after redesigned it accommodate 8rds. Hence why it only holds 8rds
Not all of them there are a few different prototypes from what I’ve seen the gun had a very slight redesign as well that is part but the other part is the bottom part of the rifle stocks were made smaller at least one 30-06 prototype made had 10 rounds I’ve heard there were even magazines being worked on near the end of ww2 thinking of just modifying the gun to work around it and thought it would be to much work at the time
Not trying to be rude just wanted to share a little bit of history I’ve picked up over the years
True, but Garand didn't want to have completely redesign the entire rifle which is why it only hold 8 rds. There were other types of rifles competing for the contract, the other one close was the M1 Johnson (nicknamed the pregnant rifle). Hard to find today but it was produce in a limited quantity.
M1 thumb only ever happens once or maybe twice, you learn real fast to pull your hand out of the way. i know from experience.
Or another safer solution: secure the bolt with your palm and load the clip with your thumb
Avoiding Garand thumb is easy. You just hold back the handle as you push the clip in.
Once the clip is in, you move your thumb, and release the handle.

Michael Morris Morris Yeah a friend of mine was in the second raider battalion. He told me how they stole a lot from the Army even jeeps.
Lmao that was one of the best scenes in the Pacific when the marines were raiding the Army’s supply crates and taking the Garands
Unfortunately , most of the US Marine Riflemen were equiped with the M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles . Type 99 Arisaka was better than the Springfield , but also most of the Japanese Soldiers were equiped with the Type 38 Arisaka rifles and anyway they were Banzai-charge minded . Some of them never took a single shot with their Arisakas before they were killed by the US Marines . Moreover , a bolt-action rifle is quite ineffective in a jungle environment , which requires close quarter fighting weapons , like an SMG for example . Japanese had few SMGs at Guadalcanal , the Type 100/42 , which was always jamming . On the other side , the US Marines had the M1 and M1928 Thompson and the M50 and M55 Reising SMGs and they were equiped with those en-masse .

This title goes to the Gewehr 41. It was developed before 1940, long before they faced the SVT-40 or even the M1 Garand. The G41 has no detachable magazine, but it had a higher quality than the G43, and it was very reliable. Very few of these weapons were made, and they are very rare.

The Japanese forces and the US forces fought first in Soloman islands and most US soldiers put bayonets on their M1 Garand.
That doesn’t sound right, considering the Marines were armed with 1903 Springfields
@@randomelite4562 If I remember correctly some US soldiers and Marines in Guadalcanal (1942) were equipped with an M1 Garand and a 1905 bayonet, sooner the bayonet got changed to an M1 variant.
@@kazu9343when the us army arrived, they brought along with their garands. Some of the garands got mixed up with the marines and that’s how some of those marines got hold of those M1s, u can look in HBO’s The Pacific
Mk14 EBR: "hey grampa tell me about the story of that guy getting his thumb stuck in your bolt"
M1 garand: "ok grandson, it was about 76 years ago..."
More like SKS
@@federalcasemaker nah,the Mk14 EBR Is literally the modern version of the m14
M1 garand was invented during interwar period through out the years M1 garand was the very beautiful rifle in history you see many wars to come till the m14 was excited today it was use in honor guard and navy today
I'm Korean, and I heard story by my father, that my grandfather used this gun at Korean war. He said, When grandfather firstly got this gun, he said
'Wow, I didn't know there were such wonderful guns in the world. It is much better than old crude japanese gun. It's amazing this gun can reload once and fire multiple times without pulling the bolt every time. But, it's little big and heavy for asian.'
All Korean soilders could armed with excellent guns - M-1 garand and M-1 carbine at the war thanks to US goverment's supply.
I used K-2 automatic rifle when I served in military last year, and I know that the huge developments between M-1 and my K2C1 rifle are all thanks to the veterans who used M-1 rifle at the Korean War.
We remember there was many foreign sacrifice and help for saving freedom and democracy of small, poor newly indepedent country. We grandly honor all ROK, US and UN veteran's service, we stand in awe of their sacrifice and bravery at Korean War.
I can't sure my english grammer is perfect, but I hope my meaning has been conveyed to you. thanks.
My father has one of these in his gun cabinet. Sometimes he uses it for deer hunting. It's such a beautiful gun and I love it so much.
Timothy Torres He bought it many years ago from some sort of sale the base had (forgot the specifics, but apparently they were selling a bunch of them). My dad retired from a thirty year service in the marines a few years ago, but to my understanding, he never used an M1 Garand in combat. My grandfather used one in the Korean war, but he didn’t keep or purchase one after his service.
The M1 Garand is my most favorite rifle ever!!!! I have one that was produced by H&R. I'm always looking for one with a WWII Serial number that I can afford to get to add to my collection.

And everyone wonders why I love this thing so damn much
The rest of the magazine: i’m a head out
Love the weapon. I recommend anyone who loves this weapon to go to the Springfield Armory museum up in MA to see the place where they made them.
Still remember how they firing it as cover fire at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan where Vin Diesel gave lots of rounds against MG 42 position
Melish had a stovepipe jam when he and Caparzo jumped the second group of Germans coming out of the bunker. He fired twice, got one off, then the stovepipe. The bolt cleared the jam and fired a third round.

If Garand's M1 was this good we probably should have gone with the machine gun too.
It probably would've basically been an M14 on a bipod.
"Today, the Garand can still be seen in use with military drill teams and military funeral honour guards, where a three-volley salute will be performed to honour the deceased."
*upbeat, happy march music plays*
M1 thumb usually only happens when you’re messing with the action without a clip. If you have a clip in, the bolt pushes the top round forward so theirs really no way of getting your thumb stuck, since your thumb is on top of the round. The bolt won’t go forward if your thumb is pressing down
You have to press really hard. It is possible for the round to slip underneath your friend finger.
Who else love that cling sound in COD when we reload the M1 Garand 😜
Family and friends can wait, I need to se this.
*see

When your here so early it shows three comments when there are 109, and only 42 views displayed.
Views don't count until they watch x amount of time of the video.
People want to comment before watching to try and get worthless youtube comment street cred.
That is the generation we are in in 2020.
Thank you for pointing out that ping sound myth.
