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
@@ultimaaxe probably among soldiers worried complaints first, then it became a myth that John Doe from the next platoon got shot while reloading, then maybe it spread
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: ua-cam.com/video/8YsYYywYFJo/v-deo.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.
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.
What will you do if a group of enemies charged at you. Not enough time to pull the bolt back ,with the M1 you can fire at a good speed to hold them off a bit. The m1 was built to solve problems not challenge other rifles
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.

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.

Well i know this gun since i was in 1st grade cause curiosity and know other historical facts about WW2, met a lot of "expert" kids talking bout the m1 garand but all their sayings were false
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.
Was a great action, but would have been better in the .276. I understand why they wanted it in 30-06, but .276 would have strengthened the advantages the rifle already had.
M14 is a pretty solid rifle, since it’s more or less a Garand on crack. Unfortunate that it didn’t see much service, but it was doomed from the start, since the AK-47 made it obsolete long before it was even introduced.
My dads uncle was a paratrooper during WW2 and he was apart of the men who dropped hours before D-Day started and he told my dad the only thing that got him through was his jump boots and his M1

China towns make you Chinese American being ethnically Chinese doesn't, you can be white a culturally Chinese.
MacArthur once called it "The greatest battlefield implementation ever devised" We can all see why: It's practical, extremely accurate, even at long range, easy to mass-produce, and it makes the iconic "ping" when it runs dry. The ping might prove to be a disadvantage in most cases, but it's like music to your ears when you hear it for the first time.
This is my rifle and this is my gun this is for fighting and this is for fun.. sort of like ship and boat. But different. How many times do I have to hear over and out and no one knows that's not reasonable, over meaning you expect a response and out meaning you are shutting down and expect no response since you are going off air.
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.
Well made for its time. I love how they adapted this into company of heroes, Riflman will always win at short range against the K98 with their semi-automatic rifles
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.
The Japanese didn't make a simi automatic rifle, they stuck with the arasaka bolt action rifle but the germans did attempt it back in 1943 called the gewher 43, similar function. But with out the pong because the the clip didn't pop out like the garand.
@@frankiehernandez6232 Japan did once tried to create a copy of Garand but using box magazine instead of en-bloc clip It was called Type 4/Type 5. And as you can expect, the war ended before it can be mass-produced
@@frankiehernandez6232 The Germans created the G43 to encounter the Soviet self-loading rifles, like the SVT-40. They have many things in common, such as a detachable ten round magazine, and the action is very similar. But the Gewehr 43 was NOT the first German self-loading rifle of WW2. 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. If you understand German, I would suggest you the UA-cam-channel "Waffenhof". They have a really nice review for the G41.
@@JJ-mv8oo I take it back your right and every one was using self loading rifles one way or another even in ww1 like my favorite self loading rifle the mondragon rifle the germans used in ww1 and for pilots in the luftwaffe in ww2.
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.
What does the battle rifle have in common with a microwave? They both go “ping” when they’re done. -Ahoy Edit: thanks for the clarifications. Its been a while since i watched that video.
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.
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 glad you dispelled me clip ping myth. I'm was on the base rifle team and was issued a Gerand fitted out by the armory with a match grade 7.62 NATO Barre. While I shot my rifle I was always aware of the slight pung my rifles clips made but I never heard my teammates clips eject. I was focused on my rifle and my tàrget
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.
@@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
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.
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 .
WW2 in a nutshell: British: I can do this all day France: I SURRENDER Germany: gas! Russia: URAAAAA!!! Italy: s p a g h e t t i Japan: BANZAI!!! America: *PING*
Germany never used gas in ww2 Edit: I mean as in germany never used gas in battles in ww2. I know Germany used gas against the Jewish people but that's not what my comment is about
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
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.
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.
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
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.
"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*

@@decayedphoenix8865 Good to here from you, dude!
Was a great action, but would have been better in the .276. I understand why they wanted it in 30-06, but .276 would have strengthened the advantages the rifle already had.
@@1337penguinman true
My grandpa used an m14 when he was drafted. He's a big fan.
M14 is a pretty solid rifle, since it’s more or less a Garand on crack. Unfortunate that it didn’t see much service, but it was doomed from the start, since the AK-47 made it obsolete long before it was even introduced.
My dads uncle was a paratrooper during WW2 and he was apart of the men who dropped hours before D-Day started and he told my dad the only thing that got him through was his jump boots and his M1

The M1 garand will find an M1A1 carbine
It will then use its signature “PING” mating call to get the carbine’s attention

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.

MacArthur once called it "The greatest battlefield implementation ever devised"
We can all see why: It's practical, extremely accurate, even at long range, easy to mass-produce, and it makes the iconic "ping" when it runs dry.
The ping might prove to be a disadvantage in most cases, but it's like music to your ears when you hear it for the first time.

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.

Well made for its time. I love how they adapted this into company of heroes, Riflman will always win at short range against the K98 with their semi-automatic rifles
This was always my favorite rifle in COD.
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
Fun fact:
The nazis and japanese were so impressed with it, they tried to make their own.
The Japanese didn't make a simi automatic rifle, they stuck with the arasaka bolt action rifle but the germans did attempt it back in 1943 called the gewher 43, similar function. But with out the pong because the the clip didn't pop out like the garand.
@@frankiehernandez6232 Japan did once tried to create a copy of Garand but using box magazine instead of en-bloc clip
It was called Type 4/Type 5. And as you can expect, the war ended before it can be mass-produced
@@Kalashnikov413 dam ,never heard of it
@@frankiehernandez6232 The Germans created the G43 to encounter the Soviet self-loading rifles, like the SVT-40. They have many things in common, such as a detachable ten round magazine, and the action is very similar.
But the Gewehr 43 was NOT the first German self-loading rifle of WW2.
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. If you understand German, I would suggest you the UA-cam-channel "Waffenhof". They have a really nice review for the G41.
@@JJ-mv8oo I take it back your right and every one was using self loading rifles one way or another even in ww1 like my favorite self loading rifle the mondragon rifle the germans used in ww1 and for pilots in the luftwaffe in ww2.
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.
What does the battle rifle have in common with a microwave? They both go “ping” when they’re done.

Edit: thanks for the clarifications. Its been a while since i watched that video.

@@cougar2k720 microwaves don't go "ping" they go "beep"

@@cougar2k720 oh, okay
Who's ahoy again
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.
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

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 .

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.
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.
