Ping.

Good one
I find it really sad he didn't mention its service in Korea at all, it really is the forgotten war.
indeed, the korean war is a forgotten war. rest in peace to the soldiers who gave their lives for their or another country
5:35 he mentions how it was there but mostly unused as there were other alternatives.
He mentioned Vietnam, not Korea.

+SuperJay ping is the ammount of lag in a game. The higher the ping (I.e. 300) the laggier it is. and the ping also comes from as explained in the video. when the magazine in the gun is empty.

@Aidan Hall what other battle rifle goes "ping"
@Aidan Hall You could call a bolt action a Battle Rifle to a degree I suppose but even then I can't think of one that pings.
@Someaceguy1937 Another bolt action, plus it doesn't ping when you're actually done, you would still have another round. SO, even if you say "it still pings!", It's not technically "done". Joke doesn't work.
15 seconds in and I have to pause the video to appreciate this line
I mean if u put metal stuff into both it will fly out at high speed.
One of the best rifles I ever shot in the Greek army for target practice. Its balance and precision were unbelievable and was far better than our standard issue fully automatic G3-A3s. At 100 yards away, bulls-eye was possible even for a novice. If war time was ever to come, I wouldn't mind the option if given to use one.
+gutz1981 I wonder if the M14 with a 20-round detachable magazine is as good.
ehh changed round and a kinda faster rof so depends
gutz1981 except that without earplugs, .30-06 will destroy your ears for at least 3 weeks
And yet the soldiers of the 40's didn't have ear plugs and were still able to hear.
You say that but hearing loss usually isn't all or nothing. I bet you plenty of soldiers came out of war with substandard hearing. They could still function, but probably could no longer hear quieter things and I'm sure quite a few would have had tinnitus to some degree.
Just wait until you own one of these. Mine just arrived yesterday in the mail from the Civilian Marksmanship Program--100 percent authentic military surplus. According to the serial no. stamped on my receiver, it was produced in November of 1942. It's a beautiful Springfield Armory one. Gonna take it to my local gun range. The "ping" should turn some heads lol.
Verticles (bigredjew) So, how was it?
Richardsen It was a "Garand" old time, literally. Ammo is $25 a box so shooting it is only on special occasions.
Verticles (bigredjew) Ouch! Not for the shallow pockets :D
Nonetheless, I trust you are enjoying that piece of history you have there.
Richardsen I certainly am. Just picked up a .303 British Lee Enfield too. Sold my AK for it. Two years ago I wouldn't have thought once about doing that. Amazing how my taste in weaponry has changed.

Nothing beats a good WWII shooter, Am I right?

ThePonziScheme Derp.
WW2 please.
Still hoping for a next gen WWII game..
***** I'm not sure about that. Gun variety is important in a game, and WW1 had almost only bolt-action rifles. There were a few machine guns, but only mounted ones. Anyway, I think you would quickly get bored.
Exactly! Now that there's next gen and everyone is tired of modern or futuristic shooters it's the perfect time to bring back the WWII GAMES.
Someone once told me soldiers would tap empty mags on their helmet to make it sound like they have to reload to make the enemy peak so they could pick them of more easily.
That Actually sounds like it would happen,
I know in the army my brother would hold on to empty mags and drop them to make people peek
That's a myth, as he said, the battlefield is noisy as hell, and even if they did hear it, they wouldn't peek as there would be 20 fully loaded rifles next to the unloaded one.
My father was in the german Bundeswehr. He said it was a common trick to check if your magazine was full, because at least G3 Magazines sounded hollow when unloaded and soldiers were issued to keep empty magazines to refill them on a later occasion.
***** Interesting.
+Web 55.0 there are a couple of documented cases of guards throwing empty clips, but this was incredibly rare.

M1 also saw action in Korea and some in Vietnam
vasilikosolov Granted it was very limited. With the introduction of the M14 the garand became relegated to more specialist roles. Such as sniping.
The US abandoned the M1 garand by the M14.The only army using it at the time were the ARVN who got most of their weapons from the US that were left over from ww2.In the very early years US advisors would use m1 carbines and Thompson submachine guns.You would see a grunt using them though and by 67 you wouldn't see them or the m14 used by the grunts anymore.
Did you even watch til the end?

This Machine from Fallout New Vegas is one of the best M1 Garands in a Video Game
Gets even better with weapon mods expanded so you can put a long barrel on it so it's nice and accurate. Doing a play through now where I basically only use This Machine. Very versatile weapon
Yeah, I once had a build that used the WMX This Machine, was a very good rifle and sniper.
I just modded mine to not have as much spread. Was my signature weapon for most playthroughs.
The moment i could get a battle rifle i did. And i usally upgraded later on in the game. I prefer the service rifle but damn this machine is a good gun

A great american gun. My grandpa fought in WW II, and had been trained on the Springfield '03 rifles. When he got a Garand, he said, "Now this is power!". I've fired it myself, and can wholeheartedly agree. Waiting for the Uzi, a great piece of Israeli tech.
SVT40 beats M1 Garand in every possible way, same with the G43.
The SVT40 was a piece of shit, unreliable rifle. These things frequently fell apart on soliders, most notably the magazine had a tedency to fall out of the rifle randomly.
The G43 was a decent design, but they were horribly made. When these guns were introduced in service the Germans were already losing WW2 and were making these rifles as fast as possible to try to even the odds against the Soviet's and American's semi auto rifles. That meet crudely fitted parts (which means lower accuracy at distance) And many compromises to the design, like most of the rifles were made out of pressed sheet metal, instead of milled steel as orginally designed, which couldn't handle the 7mm cartridge very well.
XavierJ61 American patriot much? SVT40. are reliable because of the gas operation and the magazine issue isn't common for SVTs made after 1941. G43 was the same G41 that took innovation from the SVT.
American hater much? SVT40s were too complicated and clunky, hence why the Russian military stopped issuing them to regular soliders and instead for specialist roles. Here's a quote from a Russian veteran, "We didn’t have the self-loading rifles SVT in the school, they were hardly practical at the front: as soon as the tiniest portion of sand got into the SVT - it stuck and stopped working."
english.iremember.ru/snipers/24-nikolai-nadolko.html?q=%2Fsnipers%2F24-nikolai-nadolko.html&start=1
The G43 as I said, was a rushed to production rifle that was extremely crude. Relatively few examples of the G41 were made, but the ones that made it to service were disliked by soliders, I'll give you a quote.
"In the field, the G41(M) proved unpopular with troops. In addition to being exceedingly complex and susceptible to fouling and malfunction, it was a long, heavy (11.5 pounds), and poorly balanced rifle. Captured SVT-40 Tokarev rifles were much preferred, and most of the G41(M)s ended up in the hands of second-line soldiers."

@UCpHXjlq03BkE907gL-kfm-Q yes it is you moron
You failed to mention the fact that though the m1 garand was short lived, the M14 was designed around it. The similarities between the M14 and M1 garand are so great, one could put them in the same family of rifles.
The M1 Garand was not short lived. It served 23 years in the US military and is still in service with other nations. The M14 was short lived, only in service for 5 years before being replaced by the M16. The M14 is technically in limited service, but it's really never used anymore. Not a good gun.
@@deanc91 I've heard people who fired it say it was too light for full auto and too heavy for semi auto. Give a gun like that to a bunch of scared and trigger happy draftees and you have a recipe for disaster
@@Nyx_2142 Well it certainly was no good in full auto. I don't think it's a weight problem. Its weight is not too far off from other battle rifles of the era. From what I understand, the M1 Garand had an excellent short receiver that gave it a real advantage dimensionally. However, scale that down to the M14, and give it full auto, and you have a very fast and violently opening bolt traveling a very short distance before coming to a stop. This made recoil very snappy, violent, and fast (due to short bolt travel) which made it relatively uncontrollable and highly unpleasant to shoot full auto. Other weapons like the AR-10, FAL, and G3 gave the bolt plenty of length to travel to burn off energy before coming to a stop at the end of the receiver which made them much much more pleasant to shoot.
The BM59 is actually more closely related to the M1 than the M14, as it is literally just an M1 conversion. All the M14 has in common is the receiver and op rod.
You forgot to mention the spring that pull back when you reload, and when you get you thumb stuck in that, there was a name for it but I forgot. That was a major complaint during World War 2.
That only happens if you don't know what you're doing
A.K.A. most rushed U.S. soldiers in combat training. Troops who rushed their reload and didn't learn properly what to do and what not to do. Not helping that they were already in battle being distracted by bullets buzzing past them. :/
Garand thumb is the correct term.
Garand Thumb, pretty damn simple
It doesnt happen if you reload the gun correctly.

The M1 Garand was one of the most iconic rifles ever to see military service. Replacing the iconic M1903 Springfield in service, it had a brief service life. But it's iconic status is irrefutable. An absolute soldiers rifle.
Brief? It was in service for like 20 years with the US
@@harveyknguyen this is true. 20 years is a good career for a service rifle. The M-14 has had a longm career but only 7 as a main service rifle. And the Garand did serve in both WW2 and the Korean War.

After MP5, can we get the G3?
So much yes. The G3 has a great history, it's so much more than just another FAL competitor as people say.
It is indeed. Its a rifle that is absolutely needed to be covered in this series.
after the MP5 he is done for the season, the next season will come out after shooter season 2014
The MP5 is practically a submachine variant gun of the G3. I don't see why Ahoy should make two episodes on almost the same gun. I'd say he should do the UZI, G36 or Mosin-Nagant instead.
He has already worked on the video so even if he wanted to change it he would just wait and make a video about one of those guns for season 2
As someone who proudly owns a WWII dated Garand (April 1943, according to Springfield Armory logs), I approve of this video.
Feel like he should have said at the end,
"A rifleman's tradition."
"No finer implement of battle."

I love these videos :D
And I heard in WW2 the us soldiers sometimes faked the 'ping' to make the germans think they are reloading.
wanted to write this :D
they used this bait in close combat so the germans would rush out of their covers
I heard that as well.
Yes they would they would knock the magazine in their helmet to make the enemy think they are reloading and when the enemy thinks that they are reloading they pop up to fire but since it was fake the Americans could take them down
I was going to applaud Ahoy for not stating this, because it is indeed a myth. You could look at it from a common sense perspective. First off combat is loud. You would likely be unable to hear the ping in the first place. Secondly, just because a GI might be out of ammo and need to reload, doesn't mean his buddies next to them need to as well. iccf.freeforums.org/m1-garand-myth-busted-t1022.html Here's a quick article read about the topic, btw.

Guy Rodger tar 21 stand for tavor automatic rifle. its an israeli rifle created by the iwi. it has many names and many ways to abbreviate it since it has many variations such at the mtar( micro tavor).
Wikipedia's a great thing for caught out CoD fans
Guy Rodger haha you are a funny guy the fact they you assume that tells me a lot about your characteristics. you know what they say about people who assume things ?
Goldenkosher saxybacon The same way you're assuming by saying that it tells you a lot about his characteristics? Ahhh, I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.
The M1 Garand: The Rifle of Walter Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) from Gran Torino (2008).
How about an episode on the flamethrower?
That would be good for a big broad episode. Hell of a lot of makes and models from man portable to tank mounted.
It'd also feature a nice history section because flamethrowers were used as early as the Byzantine Empire and Ancient China
Hans get ze flamenwarfer
you can actually unload a clip from the garand with the button on the side for any future viewers.
Yup
Ahoy: this gun makes a mincerwave like noise when it is about to reload
Me: thinking of a nickname for the gun
Also me: ah ha the micerwave rifle
The u.s army: I am disappointed in our country
You nail the intro every time!!!
fun fact: in America you can get a m1 garand shipped to your door by the government
+John Hice its just a fun fact for people that don't know
οκ
Another fun fact: That's only true if you have a special license.
BlargFTW which is super easy to get

Then maybe also mention that, instead of lying next time.
I have fired one of these in real life at an event with over a hundred unique weapons where people took turns firing five shots from each gun. Games always seem to get this weapon wrong. This was the loudest gun there with the most intense recoil. You could see and feel the shock wave in the air and see the grass around it shimmer. The dust plume behind the target was twice as tall as any other gun's. It bruised my shoulder, but man oh man was worth it to fire this absolute cannon of a rifle.
I would love to fire one of those but i would have to work my way up, as i have only fired small calibers before
I like how in the CoD clips, it shows the more realistic reloading with the hand on the bolt slide, but in Battlefield, they pull back the bolt, use that hand and put in a clip, then throw the bolt closed like its frozen
Some Garands needed the bolt to be closed manualy, WW2 manufacturing wasn't perfect so some guns didn't close the bolt automaticaly
5:37 I’m fairly sure that South Vietnamese forces still used the M1 Garand in the start of the war as it’s much cheaper for the United States to just give them all the old rifles that were taken out of service and stuck into warehouses a decade ago then it is to give them M14s or later M16s and XM144s.
I know this sounds like a jack ass list but I've been following your channel for some years now and its your broad spectrum that catches my eye as well as other viewers. You don't take sides e.g. games and countries and your a fact person. These videos on pacific weapons are your true success of your channel. These are gun you may do be I say this as a fellow Brit and in support of your success so please don't take any offence please and I mean no offence to any other viewers. The Enfield series both bolt's end and the automatic era. H&K MP/G series and there Rifle series. Colt's series (1911) and rifle series. And pacific ones: FAMAS, F2000, TAR, AUG, P90, SCAR series (I think ACR also falls in this series) and M249/M240B + M60 to top it off. For the success of your series and to fill the hunger of viewers world wide. and thank you for all your videos From me.
He didn't even mention garand-thumb
Everyone who picks one up for the first time,
has to feel that himself :P
Was going to say the same thing.
Isn't that mostly an issue if you press a full clip down with a vertical thumb? Pressing the clip down with a the flat side of the thumb should greatly lower the likelihood of such a syndrome.
Only people who get garland thumb are people who don't know how to operate the rifle. If you secure the op rod with your right hand while pushing in the clip with your left, it's next to impossible to get your finger smashed in the bolt.
The Greatest Battle Implement Ever Devised gave our guys the advantage over bolt actions like the Kar98 & arisaka
'What has a battle rifle common with a microwave?, they both go pong when done' lol
WAW was at it's best until got overrun by hackers and modders
Ideas for weapons in this series: M16, M1911, M14, FN FAL, Dragunov, 44 Magnum, M60, Lee-Enfield, MP40, and RPG
Yes the lee Enfield has to be done
SPAS-12
Thompson, MG-42, M1014.
OK list, although the fact that you used 44 Magnum and Dragunov gives away where you got suggestions from. 44 Magnum is a caliber, not a gun and it is called the SVD, not Dragunov, outside of games.
SkiDaBird
.44 Magnum is also just a more common term from S&W 29, the most common gun using the .44 Magnum cartridge. And its not that uncommon to call SVD a Dragunov, SVD stands for Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova
I remember going to a sporting rifle store with my WW2 vet grandpa, and amid all the sleek new rifles lining the walls, he walked up to the old wooden M1 Garand and picked it up, saying "I had one of these in the war." One of my favorite memories with the guy.
I hope you bought it.
An amazing America Riffle when you hear that ping in reloading.
R I f f l e
Well, they both go ping when they're done, and they were both popularized during WWII!
2:00 What's the music?
