Rest in peace to your father

It's funny you should say that because I have a M1903 Springfield and now an M1. Since they fire the same caliber I assumed they would recoil similarly but after around 15 rounds out of the Springfield my weak little shoulders were about to fall off, not so with the M1. I ran out of ammo before I ran out of shoulder tolerance

I know right.

My favorite is the one on VD.

Being old navy, l prefer old navy training films. Army training are my second favorite.

shut up

+Robert11xyz even the non army/military voice over guys sound like him though...i think we as a country just talked better in the 40's...

+bighunterman77 *Spoke better...I think you're probably right.

.mlh i figured someone would correct me...i wasn't too sure if i was using the correct word

bighunterman77 Lol no worries.

It is actually because they are using a Transatlantic Accent. Many people in the past are thought to talk like that. The reason is because in the past, sound systems are not good and it might not catch bases or low frequency sounds. If low voices are made, it will not be clear or it will be just mumbling. Especially when not many people have TVs and many usually listen to the radio, so the Transatlantic Accent is clearer to be heard

the way recordings were back Then made almost everyone sound the same

President Goku These voices are commonly referred to as "Million Dollar voices" which are the people you hear commonly narrate movie trailers and TV shows and such. you can generally recognize a few very common narrator's for different decades because they become the industry 'Standard' of narration.

Yep, the narrator dude here sure sounds like the same guy who was the voice-over narrator for the first season of the 1960's series, Lost in Space.

I think so

Always heard it called M1-Thumb

Well your right as you should always place your palm on the bolt but if you have a proper and perfectly working gurant it shouldent spring when your pushing it it as when you push your clit all the way in it should click and the bolt will stay in place and should only spring when your pulling your thumb out and when you do that it realy dosent feel like it moves that fast as every time ive not helf the bolt while pushing a clip in ive nevrr has an incident aside from the first time i fired the gun

@@kirkfranks1 Purple Badge of M1 Thumb!

Close! Very close!

The Garand revolutionized infantry tactics, especially at the squad and platoon level, by spreading out the firepower to a greater extent. When infantrymen were armed primarily with bolt-action rifles, they did not have sufficient firepower to oppose a dug-in enemy machine gun, in most instances. Because of the pronounced firepower advantage possessed by the machine gun, infantry were based around it. That was doctrine in WWI for many armies. The Garand came along and allowed the development of "fire and maneuver" tactics which freed the infantryman from the dug-in heavy MG. That was the idea anyway - or doctrine - in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps at that time.

German soldiers facing Garand-equipped troops often believed they were facing multiple machine-guns. A measure of the respect in which the M-1 was held is indicated by the fact that the Axis Powers of Germany and Japan both built prototypes similar to it, before going with other designs.

Mine too.

Thought it was John Garand ?

Spartan043 Everything's a secret now

Ahhh the 40s and 50s the twomost glamourous and wonderful decades of all time

Nick Tasy hhhvhhhhhvh

Everyone should know how a gun works by now

That wasn't even a problem back then considering that no one else had a general issue semi-automatic rifle and a lot of rifles of the time had magazine sizes of the same or even smaller size. Relative to today's rifles the M1's capacity is obsolete yes but in its hey day it was perfectly acceptable.

The germans mostly had the kar98. That was a 5 round bolt action rifle. Late in war they had g43's and stg's 44 they had 10 round semi and 30 round full auto

Well the Germans did innovate a lot during the war the ME-262 being a big example but in the end it was too little too late. I also don't think it was just the weapons that helped the allies to defeat the Axis.

Then the M1A came out

Guitarfollower22 who needs more than 8 rounds of .30-06? LOL

Hot brass too

Thanks, but you don't need to be an ass about it

+Nick Tasy a year later and know you whine. Stay thirsty my friends

Claiming copyright on a government video. You are the ass, not him

You ever get one ??? 9 years later.

@@giftedshfter4433 Nope. Still keep saying I will, but still keep stalling on doing it.

Italian infantry........you were trained to drop your rifle in panic, not to fire at the enemy....

@@CaspianWint-dn6nj You were not in my shoes, and for sure I would spit on the ground if someone would offer me to be in yours.

@@littlebritain64 your English sucks, dude.

@@CaspianWint-dn6nj kiss my ass.

In those days, a lot of recruits coming into the Army or Marine Corps, for example, had either worked on farms and been around machinery and mechanical devices, or had worked in a factory in the city and had done the same thing. Good training for learning one of these....

I hate to tell you this but Harrington Richards did not make those rifles until early '50s thing is 53 to 54 maybe when the Korean war broke out. Your cereal number range should tell you that should be 4 million and above.357to358 million for the last of the war world two serial numbers.

Bulls##t. In combat conditions that ping would never be heard. That "ping" nonsense has been debunked so many times and in so many ways, it's pathetic it's still being bandied about.

This isn't a discussion about computers - are you certain you are in the right place?

Who cares. All we hear is bah-doing time to reload

Sergeant Major: this is just a video to tell u how to handle and operate a m1 garand, ok?

That's not true at all....?

Cut to picture of recruit running laps around his barracks with his Garand above his head, shouting "I will not ask stupid questions about my weapon!" at the top of his lungs, until he collapses exhausted.

This was like what general George s Patton said, "this is the greatest battle rifle implemented".
