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.

[@deanc91]

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.

[@Nyx_2142]

@@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

[@deanc91]

@@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.

[@MultiNihilus]

SVT40 beats M1 Garand in every possible way, same with the G43.

[@Gewehr_3]

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.

[@MultiNihilus]

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.

[@Gewehr_3]

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." www.forgottenweapons.com/german-ww2-rifles/gewehr-41m/

SRGTHALO but, the best rilfe of World War 2 by far was the M-1 Garand

[@LIGHTNING278TH]

Best is relative. But is was pretty good. would have been better if the Army hadn't forced Garand to modify his original design.

[@IBT98]

SRGTHALO Yeah, but we got a hell of a rifle!

IBT98 i agree that it's a good rifle and I HAVE ONE YEAHHH * flies off on a rainbow *

[@tencents49]

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

[@bruceu2274]

Some Garands needed the bolt to be closed manualy, WW2 manufacturing wasn't perfect so some guns didn't close the bolt automaticaly

[@yoboikamil525]

What does Discord, a microwave and a M1 Garand have in common? They all go "PING" when you use them.

[@somedude5422]

stop it

[@passengerpigeon20]

The "ping" noise is also created when an empty clip falls onto a hard surface. According to several veterans, some troops would throw an empty clip on the ground to trick the enemies into thinking they had run out of ammo, and lure them into the open.

[@nercksrule]

Those vets were telling stories. Nobody can hear an M1 ping in combat except for the man holding the rifle. The enemy aren't going to learn that ping means reload if they can't hear it over the sound of continuous gunfire.

[@josiahjack455]

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.

[@lunchcas]

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

[@PelemusMcSoy]

My friend once said that when designing the M1 Garand, they wanted to ensure user's shoulder comfort when firing by reinforcing the stock with Grade A solid wood.

[@cheezcake252]

A firefight is very loud. I doubt you hear the ping.

@@sketchdrawn1056 No, battle is extremely loud and the American rifleman with an M1 is not going to be alone. Not to mention that it only takes a couple of seconds to reload.

[@cjc0130]

I really don’t like the people who say this. 1. Guns are loud AS FUCK, nobody gonna hear the ping. 2. It tells your allies that you are empty so they can cover you 3. Touching on 2, you aren’t gonna be alone, the enemy isn’t going to here this and think, “He’s out, get him” and then run out into the hail of bullets to kill you, your not that special.

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.

[@U1TR4F0RCE]

after the MP5 he is done for the season, the next season will come out after shooter season 2014

[@JonasGmusic]

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.

M1911 and a M1 Garand make a perfect pair. if your enemy did hear the "Ping" and tried to exploit it, fall back to your M1911, and he'll never know what hit him.

[@GetTheBugSpray]

By far one of my favorite rifles, the feeling when I shot one for the first time was amazing. Also for the longest time I never got it's name right, I thought it was the M1 Grand, I never noticed the first "a" until someone pointed it out to me

[@sadsavagesomething1387]

History geek here 1. Due to slow production not all branches were armed with the M1 at the beginning of the war, the marines had 1903 Springfield’s for the first few months of war 2. “Besides WWII these are rarely seen” The M1 was still in use during the Korean War, I know this for a fact because of my grandfather

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.

[@RevanStarrrR]

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 love New Vegas' incarnation of the Garand. It's rather disappointing that you can't use it with the Grunt perk in the vanilla game, but the J. Sawyer mod fixes that. This Machine (and the non-unique Battle Rifle variant added in Gun Runners' Arsenal) are fine weapons by themselves, but Grunt pushes them into the field of excellence. And it even has the *ping*.

[@Jaceblue04]

The only video game I've seen this weapon appear in that isn't a war-time FPS is the online, multiplayer, top-down game, S.A.S. Zombie Assault 3. You get it when you make an account for the game, and it serves as your only semi-auto (and high-damage) weapon in the assault rifle class until you unlock the FN FAL at a certain level (cannot remember exactly which level off the top of my head).
