The M-1 Garand was the U. S. Army's favorite rifle during World War II and Korea. It kicked like a mule and had that annoying 'ping' when you ran out of bullets, but it was goddamn reliable.
'I shot 8 guys before I had to reload, and that 'ping' was the worst part.', Private Jenkins, 1944
'That 'ping' is louder than my mom’s yelling.', Corporal Smith, 1950
'The Garand was like having a bullet launcher with a bad attitude.', Sergeant Ramirez, 1953
