In high school (1964-1967) I was in the ROTC. We trained with the M1 Garand, we also qualified with it at Fort MacArther in San Pedro CA. This rifle is wonderful you just don’t want to get your thumb caught between the bolt Ann the breach!
I have the book on the complete design and manufacture of the Springfield 1903, including dimensions of everything to do with manufacture. It should be possible to start production of these rifles, just with this book!
Yeah, as long as you have the exact dimensions and measurements, anything is possible. Now for a realistic production (several in a week) all you need is a CNC Machine, a Lathe (both wood cutting and metal) and materials. Those are more attainable now then ever, as long as you have the funds that is. We used to be a very proud nation and society. Assisting neighbors, retaining marksmen skills, self sustaining, homesteads where abundant and productive. Now our pride is diminished, our resolve dwindling and our dependence on government is appalling..... Sorry, just some of my disgust seeping out there.
The photo is a five groove barrel. Enfield rifles from Remington and Eddystone had five groove left hand twist. Springfields had four grove right hand twist except for a few with only two grove barrels.
Interesting to note they ended this documentary with emphasis on civilian youth marksmanship program, something that is either ignore, forgotten or done away with in recent decades. Which is a shame, because I think agendas have clouded the need for this nation to be wlll armed and well trained against any future conflicts. Yes the military trains you to fire a rifle when you go through basic, but to be honest it takes more than a week for a person to handling a rifle properly, comfortable, and most importantly, safely, an experience more youths need growing up.
Support the Constitution, Its Amendments and The Bill of Rights like your life depends upon it, because it does. The Democrats sneer at those very things.
Hogwash...just because someone believes in expanded gun control it does *not* automatically follow that they want the population disarmed...the NRA originally supported marksmanship/gun safety courses for all youngsters *and* they supported strict gun control -- *responsible gun ownership* -- the arms manufacturers have hijacked the NRA today, and so they now oppose *any* logical, reasonable *sane* controls on gun ownership. How many more mass killings will occur before enough Americans realize it's simply too easy to obtain a weapon of mass murder, or the cheap handguns which create the daily shooting galleries in our cities? A June 2016 opinion poll taken after the Orlando massacre showed: 92% of Americans say they wanted expanded background checks, 87% support a ban for felons or people with mental health problems and 85% saying they would ban people on federal watchlists from buying guns. "The latest CNN/ORC poll also found that a stark partisan divide on the issue remains -- with 78% of Democrats supporting tougher laws, 29% of Republicans supporting tougher laws and independents almost evenly split (53% support tougher laws.)" So you're correct in a way: many Republicans are seriously out of touch with reality (see: Daffy Duck.) Bugs Bunny [to Elmer Fudd] : _Would you like to shoot me now or wait till you get home?_ Daffy Duck: _Shoot him now! Shoot him now!_ Bugs Bunny: _You keep outta this! He doesn't have to shoot you now!_ Daffy Duck: _He does so have to shoot me now!_ Daffy Duck [to Elmer]: _I demand that you shoot me now!_
+Francisco Hernandez I think he is also referencing how the M1 was originally designed for a smaller caliber, then changed to the standard/readily available .30-06 once the war was eminent.
+Francisco Hernandez Too bad they wasted time and effort creating the M-14 first. The AR-10 did compete against the M-14 and actually performed better.
@@jefflanduyt6750 I thought that at first, too. He sounds a little like that guy in Ghostbusters 2. But he indeed was born in St. Rémi, Quebec, Canada.
Great documentary, I hope it continues to BE PRESERVED. I was wondering, with all the technological advancements, there was never ANY for preserving their ‘hearing’ back in the day..?
The M-1 and M-14 were our best infantry weapons. The M-16 (and the M-4 carbine that has now followed) are supported solely based on smaller ammo and less cost. The AK-47 is not the magic weapon it is played to be but the SKS (Chinese and Russian) has begun to attract a lot of attention based on design. The open-bolt access gives the user a lot more freedom in a combat situation. In 2007, the melding of a SK's bolt & chassis to an AK's bore created an auto very much much approved.
at 7:20 Im suprised he didn't pre-suppose that this new rifle after the m1 would be fully automatic like the M14 and then the AR-15 or M16 would become!
@21:20 is exactly why we have the problems we have today. If programs like still existed (I think they should be required) we wouldn't have even the square root of the problems we do today with gangs or mass shootings. If people learned from a young age how to use a firearm we could eliminate negligent discharge deaths to virtually zero, and respect for firearms means not misusing them. I first shot my dad's M16 when I was much smaller than these kids, and remember firing my first handgun when I was 5 years old- an old Colt Single Action Army that I now own. I was responsible enough that in second grade my parents gave me an old DEA CAR15 that looked like new. I cherished that gun and the HK P7K3 .380 I got the next year more than anyone could imagine. I still have all 3 weapons, and I wouldn't trade them for all the tea in China...
Exactly. Kids today know everyone else is helpless so once they have a gun they are god. When everyone knows how to fight and is armed, mass shooters think twice realizing how short lived their pathetic crime is going to be. There is a reason victims of gun crime are unarmed and mass shootings only happen in gun free zones.
Totally agree. Surprisingly even the medical docs who want to stand against gun rights have admitted gun training and education is the reason for the accidents and misuse of firearms. They need to go back to these programs instead of gun bans which have never worked in the past. Because they educate and create public safety.
I totally agree,my wife is from Bulgaria and they used to have a short mandatory inscription into the military.That up until recently was just stopped under the pressure of the EU.It really kept problems at bay and taught people well and as a whole they almost have none of the violent crime that we do.Even with the Mafia their murder rate is practically nothing compared to us.It's funny but even my mother in law knows how to strip and maintain a Kalisnikov lol. Another thing is when my father was a kid he took his guns too school,either for the shooting club practice or during hunting season,as they would hunt before school.They just would leave them in the office on the way in the building like it was nothing.Now a days if a kid even draws a picture of a gun its forbidden and they get thrown out of school. Now I dont know about you but the more I was told not to do something etc as a teen the greater the chance was I'd go and do it.Now that guns are bad and evil we no longer teach the responsible use and kids end up getting a hold of them anyway and that is when and how these tragedies happen.If we treated them as we had in the past they wouldnt be taboo to teens and have the draw that they do.While on this subject I want to use my wife's family as a example again.In Bulgaria they also have very few teen alcohol problems like we do here and again its because of how they look at it.Everyone makes their own wine and hard liquor there and they learn to drink responsibly at a young age.Unlike here where we have teens dying from binge drinking.My sister in law is 8 years younger then my wife but she was free to have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer with us within reason and while she rarely did.It was the norm,in all the time I lived there not once did they refuse to sell her beer at the local shop if I asked her to get it for me.Now they did change it to 18 under the EU but even so it wasnt a problem if the shop knew her and when I asked her how it was at school.She said that kids preferred to smoke weed and only a few times had she ever seen a classmate sloppy drunk.
Jim Man, then you might be horrified to find out that just a couple decades ago," hormonal", "impulsive" teenagers and middle schooners once went to school with rifle slung in cases to participate in after school marksmanship clubs. Funny how no mass shooting happened then. And yes, mass shootings only happen in gun free zones because those in zones that allowed firearms were stopped from ever being a mass shooting to begin with. The gun counters the gun.
SouthJerseySound totally agree. I grew up on the marine base housing in San Diego ca. We used to go shooting in the morning before the marine training. Walk to school with our guns, after shooting. Go to school and check our guns and cases in. Went to class and after school if the marines weren't using the range. We would shoot in the afternoon. In the summer. We didn't use cases if we walked straight to the range and back. They did have a safety instruction at the beginning of the year for us and anyone who moved in checked with the Sargent of arms and received safety training. We never had a problem. We were all responsible. They even let us hunt pheasants with adult supervision on the ranges when the ranges were clear and shut down. We just had to check in and log in. Surprisingly we didn't have fights either. If there was one. They threw gloves and helmets on us and put us in the ring. Or put helmets on us and give us those cue tipped bows. If we were bad and disrespectful, they would make us pick up trash, change trash cans at the school, clean bathrooms and clean up the public gym.
The British NRA was formed in similar circumstance. The only difference is that the British NRA betrayed us and said that certain rifles and actions weren't necessary and could be banned after Hungerford.
Yes & to add insult to injury Mike Yardley considers our remaining black-rifles ( manual & rimfire semi-autos) as pandering to fantasies & thinks it's unnecessary for hunting or pest-control- but still uses a semi-auto shotgun. People like him annoy me as they've always sold the British shooting community out- to save themselves.
andrewt248 Taken in context, since they were talking about advances in weapons technology, he was saying the end of WWI was closing one era of weapons technology, and the next era would be an atomic one.
andrewt248 maybe they mean due to the mutual assured destruction. Created buy the industrial age. These better designed weapons. Could be made at an alarming rate. If not what a f£€king. Mess up
If you go to the museum the original M1 looks nothing like it does now and I believe it was originally chambered in .240 but the army changed it to 30-06. to bad its was shut down
.270 Pederson. Either McArthur or George Marshall or whomever the Chielf of Staff of the Army was, wanted the rifle chambered in 30-06 since there was a gajilion rounds left over from WWI and still used in the 1903 rifle. That reduced the capacity in the M1 Garand to 8 rounds.
Not necessarily. The world would be radically different (worse) with Russia in control of Europe and Asia. Tragedy happens when we don't fight and use full force. We held our punches with the Muslims and now look, they invaded Europe and are spreading here in the US.
Shooting people ain't fighting, thats using money to cheat. Guns are for pussy's in my opinion. A real man takes a beating, everything went to crap when you couldn't punch out a bully
Nazi uniforms might have been nice and neat but American's sure did look the coolest on the battlefield...people still wear things that match that ww2 40s style...because of what they did wearing that stuff, its timeless
The U.S. Asked permission to copy the Mauser action and had to pay royalties. I watched a video that said during WW1 while the war was raging the U.S. We're still paying Mauser royalties for using the Mauser action in the M1903
***** I'm an American and nobody is going to start confiscating anybody's guns. It would be political suicide to even write the legislation. The most that will ever happen is background checks at gun transfers and registration for some firearms, and right now even that is very unlikely. Guns nuts are paranoid.
***** Obama is not going to confiscate anything. It would be unconstitutional because it would also violate the 4th Amendment. He only backs background checks and maybe registration. We have idiots walking around with semi-auto rifle in public and other nutcases who think that this is the old west and you need to have a sidearm when you step outside of the house. The 2nd amendment isn't going to be repealed. Your paranoia is at DefCon1. Take a pill and chill.
M1 Garand should have been designed to us M1918 BAR 20rd magazines and not 8rd end block clip. Would have been simpler and less parts, and more reliable.
Interesting techniques by the instructor and marksman...looks odd now to have your elbow way up there while shooting. Speaking of odd how about the way the marksman detached the one end of his sling and looped it around his upper arm. Never seen it done like that; only seems practical for a very long distance prone shot where a bipod can't be improvised from the terrain.
hey Danny on the M1 it does make that ping after the last shot has been taken. I personally own a M1 and I've shot thousands of rounds threw mine and at the end PING
+sterling Wilkey yes mine makes a little ping too , but in action with hundreds of weapons being fired hundred or more meters out I don't think I could here the little ping .
The clip is ejected after the 8th round has fired and been ejected from the rifle. Yes,it does make the Ping sound, but it is not audible enough for an enemy 50-200 yards away to hear. Hell, on the firing line at the M1 Garand match at Camp Perry, I could barely hear my own clip being ejected.
Gun grammar Nazis gonna be like, John Garand referred to the M1 as an “automatic” rifle, when we all know that it’s “semi-auto”. He clearly knew very little about guns.
an American you heard right John Garand good old yank. so while re3dcoats were struggling with mass produce brown bess original home guard. armed with home rifled teamed havoc on king Georges finest well we know.how that turned.out
The M1 Garand should have had a removable 10 round magazine, like the British Enfield. That 8 shot clip was ridiculous. The Garand also could have been supplied with a deeper ammunition well to accommodate the 2 extra cartridges. Then Garand could still use his clip system, which was noisy and gave away the position of the shooter. The Beretta upgrades regarding the magazines should have been used by the U.S. long before the BM-59.
Joshua Nolte that was by city and state ordinance not Military. They were already taking guns before the levees broke, taking for law abiding citzens not criminals, thats why many died after from shootings and murder than the actual flood they somehow survived.
Oh. I thought it was from all of them..I know police did but I watched some documentaries where military guys said they had orders to disarm people for safety reasons etc..but I might be wrong. Have a look and see if the videos are still up to what I am referring to.
+Joshua Nolte I think it was mainly reserve coast guard or army, guys who wouldn't in best experience know what to do. Probably was military too but I know from that day cops were going door to door getting guns. They even showed a picture of a warehouse full of legally owned guns. Not one was illegally owned, talk about taking freedoms away.
I don't think there is anything that could have saved the Hell Spawn from being who she really is. The CMP is still alive today and active. If you join you can get an M1 from them at a DEEPLY discounted rate ($200-$600 vs. $1,500-S2,500+). There is rumor of over 200k M1's still stored in Korea and more in random armories across the country that are persevered and locked away. But I can't see our government run by anti-gunners releasing them, not even if the country was under attack (domestic war/invasion/defending). Not even if the Dead rose today and started eating only Hillary supporters.... They would just blame it on Trump.
You are absolutely correct on that comparison... He was more American then our own President today (tho many still believe he is not even an American) even more compared to our current populace. We are not even a fraction of what we once where. We were creators, designers, scientists, chemists, craftsmen, farmers and performed real work that contributed to American society while advancing the knowledge and wealth _[of the people of the nation]_ as we should be today (real wealth like land, gold, silver, knowledge, crafting skills and family. Paper money is only a nations debt and it works because we believe it's real wealth. *Which it isn't.*). Sorry for the little rant, I tend to get carried away when I get something in my head. Don't hate me for my opinion. :)
Duane Ransom specifically racists. Racists are very sure Obama wasn’t an American. But he was, and objectively a better man and president than drumpf will ever be. Get mad
Came to America as a child and became an American citizen and developed the skills that built the M1 rifle as an American so hope that your not too let down by that.
Back in the 20th century, many French Canadians were in New England working. They enjoyed working in the mills and machine shops. They were excellent tradesmen and contributed much to local industry.
I love how the narrator sounds so chuffed they showed up a year before the end of the war xD maf respect for the US but WW1 must of been Americans shortest war, don't qutoe me on that.
He wasn't paid to speak, he was paid to design one of the best rifles ever made; powerful, accurate and automatic. Although English not being his first language he does a fine job on both counts.
I have heard that Albert Einstein wasn't a great speaker either.... I do not believe that being a 'good public speaker' is requisite for being a genius. How about YOU post a video describing one of your inventions that changed the world......
Back then we used many intelligent foreigners to design some our weapons ....it was a way to pledge loyalty to their new country the USA....like this man in the film with the accent John gerand (He also had a skating rink in his living room and was a crazy eccentric), or Sikorsky who biilt helicopters but came from russia, or Einstein who helped build the A-bomb and he came from germany
That's what made America great. The people who came in were screened and rated for their ability. From Einstein to all others who all contributed to her greatness, not people who come to destroy ater sucking the blood out.
These rifles had a huge flaw: empty cartridge was making a loud gong-like sound when it was ejected out of rifle, and enemy knew this moment that soldier has an empty rifle. This flaw took many lives...
They would also hit two pieces of metal together to make the enemy think that they were out of ammunition, then when they would go to fire the soldier would shoot the unsuspecting enemy.
+Vasiliy Gulakov not really. after was interviews showed that the ejecting noise was not an issue. besides, us troops heard about this issue and would bang an empty clip on his helmet to simulate the ejection. would you want to charge a soldier reloading an m1? if you guess wrong, you lose.
To think that in the midst of live fire incoming and outgoing, without ear protection, you would be able to hear a single soldier's ping and somehow charge only that one soldier is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It did not take "many lives" it has however made a perpetual old wives tale about something that when you logically think about it, makes zero sense.
guys, what i wrote was from us troopers memories. If you don't agree - you have this right, k? Take it easier. And, yes, you can hear that sound after a shot. You don't think that nazi were that dumb to rush to allies positions under heavy rifle fire after they heard empty clip sound, do you? :) Or do you really think that all the battles was in open field? o_O Read more, guys, i heard it's cool :)

Finally Mr Garand on video, telling us we need a 30-06 AR!
I was in army JROTC 2015-2019 we use air rifles because we dont have a rifle range in town but we use the M14 for our drill rifles
At 10:30, the guy at the table is adding the famous cartouche and crossed cannons. I never really thought about how that was done.

2:00 "In Europe German militarists were seeking once again to dominate that continent"
subtle ... he
when did the germans dominate thecontinent before the rising of prussia..?
They did now. And perhaps it's for the good of Europe this time.
When they beat the Romans in some forest a ways back.
This was actually more entertaining than my 7th Grade Social Studies Class.
Where did we go wrong? It was a huge mistake when average Americans stopped learning how to fight.
Not necessarily. The world would be radically different (worse) with Russia in control of Europe and Asia. Tragedy happens when we don't fight and use full force. We held our punches with the Muslims and now look, they invaded Europe and are spreading here in the US.
Amen. I served USMC 77-81.
Shooting people ain't fighting, thats using money to cheat. Guns are for pussy's in my opinion. A real man takes a beating, everything went to crap when you couldn't punch out a bully
Nazi uniforms might have been nice and neat but American's sure did look the coolest on the battlefield...people still wear things that match that ww2 40s style...because of what they did wearing that stuff, its timeless
is the springfield rifle a copy of the mauser rifle?
shhhhhhhh.....;)
+goerizal1 The action is, yes. Many rifles are a copy of the mauser action to this day.
The U.S. Asked permission to copy the Mauser action and had to pay royalties. I watched a video that said during WW1 while the war was raging the U.S. We're still paying Mauser royalties for using the Mauser action in the M1903
+B2091 War is a business. Business contracts must be honored or there is no point in having a war.
Registration leads to Confiscation.
Your paranoia can be treated.
epistte By incarceration.
***** Take your meds because paranoia can be treated. Ask your Dr for Thorazine or Seroquel. Nobody wants your silly guns.
***** I'm an American and nobody is going to start confiscating anybody's guns. It would be political suicide to even write the legislation. The most that will ever happen is background checks at gun transfers and registration for some firearms, and right now even that is very unlikely. Guns nuts are paranoid.
***** Obama is not going to confiscate anything. It would be unconstitutional because it would also violate the 4th Amendment. He only backs background checks and maybe registration. We have idiots walking around with semi-auto rifle in public and other nutcases who think that this is the old west and you need to have a sidearm when you step outside of the house. The 2nd amendment isn't going to be repealed. Your paranoia is at DefCon1. Take a pill and chill.
I've got Savage rifle made in Springfield. I don't know if it's related to this factory however.
Savage is up the road a bit. Springfield armory is now a community collage. STCC
How old this video ? If somebody knows pl make a comment.
M1 Garand should have been designed to us M1918 BAR 20rd magazines and not 8rd end block clip. Would have been simpler and less parts, and more reliable.
"Firing their guns with the accuracy of frontiersmen."
Actually battlefield analysis has show this to not be the case. Like at all.
Arent they made abroad now? Some of their guns are even rebranded sprinfield but are from a turkish company.
Interesting techniques by the instructor and marksman...looks odd now to have your elbow way up there while shooting. Speaking of odd how about the way the marksman detached the one end of his sling and looped it around his upper arm. Never seen it done like that; only seems practical for a very long distance prone shot where a bipod can't be improvised from the terrain.
+Ryan David - Still a common practice deer hunting out here on the prairies.
3:27 he didn't even pull the trigger
A lot of double barrel shotguns have two triggers staggered for each barrel.
but this wasn't one
"Best trained and best equipped in the world..." Thats funny. Eisenhower disagreed with that statement exactly 71 years ago.
The ping thing from the clip isn't true , just ask anyone who's ever used an m1 in action.
hey Danny on the M1 it does make that ping after the last shot has been taken. I personally own a M1 and I've shot thousands of rounds threw mine and at the end PING
+sterling Wilkey yes mine makes a little ping too , but in action with hundreds of weapons being fired hundred or more meters out I don't think I could here the little ping .
The clip is ejected after the 8th round has fired and been ejected from the rifle. Yes,it does make the Ping sound, but it is not audible enough for an enemy 50-200 yards away to hear. Hell, on the firing line at the M1 Garand match at Camp Perry, I could barely hear my own clip being ejected.
Wow. First video that I've heard him talking!

How about a documentary about how a springfield rifle is made in the 21st century?????
Because Uncle Sam closed up the Springfield Armory back in 1968.
Just look at what the Royal Small Arms factory at Enfield became, a goddamed housing-estate full of apartments.
Barrel straightener? You relying on one dude hand straightening by hand and sight ?
knights with armor can walk up to these small arms.
john halamka
Wow, JCG was French Canadian? Today I learned
What does world war two have to do with the making of springfield rifles?
18:30 .. until now
not really what the title said it was.
other than that it was neat.
Gun grammar Nazis gonna be like, John Garand referred to the M1 as an “automatic” rifle, when we all know that it’s “semi-auto”. He clearly knew very little about guns.
😁😂👍
Where was Garand from? Definitely not America! Probably European?
He was a Canadian so his accent is probably French.
Thanks for the info mate.
an American you heard right John Garand good old yank. so while re3dcoats were struggling with mass produce brown bess original home guard. armed with home rifled teamed havoc on king Georges finest well we know.how that turned.out
Please anyone send me a Rifle.
The M1 Garand should have had a removable 10 round magazine, like the British Enfield. That 8 shot clip was ridiculous. The Garand also could have been supplied with a deeper ammunition well to accommodate the 2 extra cartridges. Then Garand could still use his clip system, which was noisy and gave away the position of the shooter. The Beretta upgrades regarding the magazines should have been used by the U.S. long before the BM-59.
Damn I was born in the wrong time
This is why AMERICAN must protect THE 2ND AMENDMENT!
18:42 Now when US troops march down the streets its to do door to door gun confiscations
When did this happen?
+UlyssesPez hurricane Katrina mate. it happened then..
Joshua Nolte that was by city and state ordinance not Military. They were already taking guns before the levees broke, taking for law abiding citzens not criminals, thats why many died after from shootings and murder than the actual flood they somehow survived.
Oh. I thought it was from all of them..I know police did but I watched some documentaries where military guys said they had orders to disarm people for safety reasons etc..but I might be wrong. Have a look and see if the videos are still up to what I am referring to.
+Joshua Nolte I think it was mainly reserve coast guard or army, guys who wouldn't in best experience know what to do. Probably was military too but I know from that day cops were going door to door getting guns. They even showed a picture of a warehouse full of legally owned guns. Not one was illegally owned, talk about taking freedoms away.
hillary should have joined the CMP at a young age, she wouldnt have turned into the shrew she is today
I don't think there is anything that could have saved the Hell Spawn from being who she really is. The CMP is still alive today and active. If you join you can get an M1 from them at a DEEPLY discounted rate ($200-$600 vs. $1,500-S2,500+). There is rumor of over 200k M1's still stored in Korea and more in random armories across the country that are persevered and locked away.
But I can't see our government run by anti-gunners releasing them, not even if the country was under attack (domestic war/invasion/defending). Not even if the Dead rose today and started eating only Hillary supporters.... They would just blame it on Trump.
MARVIN THE BOON
Right..Atomic Age...DYNAMITE...!!!
Springfield designer is not american?
You are absolutely correct on that comparison... He was more American then our own President today (tho many still believe he is not even an American) even more compared to our current populace. We are not even a fraction of what we once where. We were creators, designers, scientists, chemists, craftsmen, farmers and performed real work that contributed to American society while advancing the knowledge and wealth _[of the people of the nation]_ as we should be today (real wealth like land, gold, silver, knowledge, crafting skills and family. Paper money is only a nations debt and it works because we believe it's real wealth. *Which it isn't.*).
Sorry for the little rant, I tend to get carried away when I get something in my head. Don't hate me for my opinion. :)
Duane Ransom specifically racists. Racists are very sure Obama wasn’t an American. But he was, and objectively a better man and president than drumpf will ever be. Get mad
Came to America as a child and became an American citizen and developed the skills that built the M1 rifle as an American so hope that your not too let down by that.
Back in the 20th century, many French Canadians were in New England working. They enjoyed working in the mills and machine shops. They were excellent tradesmen and contributed much to local industry.
the music takes me back to Looney tunes
I love how the narrator sounds so chuffed they showed up a year before the end of the war xD maf respect for the US but WW1 must of been Americans shortest war, don't qutoe me on that.
Are they even allowed to make guns now in mass. I herd they had some far reaching gun laws.
Smith $ Wesson is in Mass.
Damn. John Garand certainly isn't a very good public speaker :(
He's cool...soundsa alotta lika Lawrence Welk(a)
He wasn't paid to speak, he was paid to design one of the best rifles ever made; powerful, accurate and automatic. Although English not being his first language he does a fine job on both counts.
I have heard that Albert Einstein wasn't a great speaker either.... I do not believe that being a 'good public speaker' is requisite for being a genius. How about YOU post a video describing one of your inventions that changed the world......
YESSS
Really...?

Whaaat?Browning was a Nazi..??
147 liberals have watched this
Jingoistic
Why english of this guy sounds so bad? I hear it, english is my third leanguage, that i speak.
that is the style that was used in documentaries and news reels
John Garand was French Canadian. English wasn't his first language.
Back then we used many intelligent foreigners to design some our weapons ....it was a way to pledge loyalty to their new country the USA....like this man in the film with the accent John gerand (He also had a skating rink in his living room and was a crazy eccentric), or Sikorsky who biilt helicopters but came from russia, or Einstein who helped build the A-bomb and he came from germany
That's what made America great. The people who came in were screened and rated for their ability. From Einstein to all others who all contributed to her greatness, not people who come to destroy ater sucking the blood out.
99% weren't "screened" dumbass. They didnt want to kill us for destroying their countries, and torturing their people.
These rifles had a huge flaw: empty cartridge was making a loud gong-like sound when it was ejected out of rifle, and enemy knew this moment that soldier has an empty rifle. This flaw took many lives...
They would also hit two pieces of metal together to make the enemy think that they were out of ammunition, then when they would go to fire the soldier would shoot the unsuspecting enemy.
Keegan G
if you ever heard that sound, you would never mess it with something ;)
+Vasiliy Gulakov
not really. after was interviews showed that the ejecting noise was not an issue. besides, us troops heard about this issue and would bang an empty clip on his helmet to simulate the ejection. would you want to charge a soldier reloading an m1? if you guess wrong, you lose.
To think that in the midst of live fire incoming and outgoing, without ear protection, you would be able to hear a single soldier's ping and somehow charge only that one soldier is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It did not take "many lives" it has however made a perpetual old wives tale about something that when you logically think about it, makes zero sense.
guys, what i wrote was from us troopers memories. If you don't agree - you have this right, k? Take it easier. And, yes, you can hear that sound after a shot. You don't think that nazi were that dumb to rush to allies positions under heavy rifle fire after they heard empty clip sound, do you? :) Or do you really think that all the battles was in open field? o_O Read more, guys, i heard it's cool :)
What we nowadays call semi--automatic they called "Automatic" on their rifles , even though there were MGs and SMGs in WW2 .😆
