Tony, that "bing" sound is made by the 8 rd. "en block" clip flying out the top of the M1 Garand as it locks open after firing the last round.

My favorite line:
We had good officers, for the most part, but the NCOs were excellent. They really took care of us. I gotta watch it again. Read the book. Some really good insight. Eddie |

I learned that sideways style of firing from my High Standard Duramatic when I bought a box of those Winchester Hollow points! They don't have enough power to sling the shell caseing out of the way of the slide!
I sold my SA M1 to my son-in-law three months ago for 750. Damn I was missing that rifle,then saw the Big Red One and shit just had to have it back! Traded him an Imbell recievered R1A1,and three mags for it back! The Sunday I got it back headed out to Slaughterville range,and was popping clays with it at 75 yards! Never ever,ever,ever will it leave home again! Bob [:D] |

I have heard that german soldiers would wait to hear that "ping" sound and the they would rush the american. I also heard that the american troops learned how to duplicate the "ping" and then mow down those nazis.

You ever shoot an M1 and you will know it takes damn little time to reload another clip!
You can do so in the same time it takes to load another mag in say an AR or an Ak! Rush on! Bob [:D] |

I also heard that the american troops learned how to duplicate the "ping" and then mow down those nazis. Yep, and it's easily replicated... Take an empty clip, and chuck it at the receiver. It makes the same sound [:)] (while holding the rifle, of course.) My grandfather used to tell stories about people who, in a firefight, would fire X rounds, throw an empty clip against the receiver to make the sound, and just wait for enemy to pop up. Apparently, it worked pretty well. |
