Great work! The M1 Garand is the first semi-automatic service rifle in the world. The rifle makes that distinctive "bling" sound when it eject an empty clip. Yep, it's easily distinguishable for the enemy to hear the sound that it makes. A Service Grade Garand is much cheaper at $595 compare to the Colt LE6920 average price tag at $1000. However, I own both of them and love them both.

The famous sound ever made by a infamous rifle of WWII.
Not good on stealth missions,though. XD.

Hehe, it's too long to be concealed on stealth missions too. XD

Oh and besides, the only downside of a silenced M1 Garand is also the "PING" sound. All goes well until they hear the PING sound. XD

I have one of these. Love it to death. So much fun to shoot, and I always remember the soldier who carried it.

Yeah, old school weapons must be pretty fun to shoot

Heck yeah! I've got a Springfield from WWI, and let me tell you it kicks like a mule! The Garand is easier. It has less of a kick. Less likely to blast me into the next state.

Man, That sound never gets old
Awesome work, as usual XD

Ahhh! That was a satisfactory sound to hear in old computer games in WWII. -not when you still had other players attacking you, thought! XD-

It always depends on which side you're on.

If in multiplayer you were playing german, it was good because: "Aha! reloading! Time to attack!" When playing US.American, it was good because: "Aha! That ping sounds nice, after emptying the whole clip in an unsuspecting german player" XD

It was indeed one of the Garand's major weaknesses. Good if you're engaging with individual riflemen, not so when you take on a full squad. Mind you there are other Garand users, plus Thompson gunners, BAR gunners, M1 carabiners, and the .30 cal MG operating in the background.

Yup, it always works better with squadmates around.

Worse if you're Japanese and there's a shotgunner behind the rifleman.

But you know what Japs fear most? The Gurkhas of the British Army. Who needs a katana when you have a handy-dandy kukri? During the China-Burma-India campaign, Japanese would find they're comrades on sentry duty with their heads missing the next morning.

Katana's longer.
But more cumbersome in confined spaces, for sure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gurhkas elevated kukri from obscurity to popularity: it became an alternative to the machete, especially for tank crews.
And of course, there's always the knife and the handy-dandy entrenching tool, especially if you sharpened the blades on the latter. Favorite melee weapon of soldiers of the Western Front during the First World War.
And I remember that many M1 carbine users made modifications on their weapons that allow full-auto or select fire use.

"And I remember that many M1 carbine users made modifications on their weapons that allow full-auto or select fire use."
Aye. This was the USM2, used from 1945 until the early years of the Vietnam War.

I know. The manufacturers got the idea for the M2 from the many field-modifications done on the M1s. Any soldier with some basic mechanic experience or having a good gunsmith nearby can have those mods.
It was a good weapon. Makes you wonder: why didn't they adopted the M1 carbine's gas system instead of the direct impingement system of the M16? It's far more reliable.

I've got a Garand and it's a comfortable rifle to shoot. The standard ammo is loaded with a 147 gr. bullet and less of a powder charge to lessen the strain on the operating rod which had a tendency to bend or break with heavier loads.
The "ping" is noticable close up, but probably not so much in the noise of battle. With practice, a soldier could insert a fresh clip pretty quickly.

Thanks for the info mate. yeah, I think that in open environments, the sound would dissipate much faster.
