I desperately want to fire this rifle

[Jason Voorhees]

The iconic all american M1 Garand
chambered in the .30-06 Springfield cartridge. The rifle that won the war.
General George S. Patton famously called it "the greatest battle implement ever devised". Gave U.S troops a significant firepower advantage over the bolt-action rifles used by Germany at the time.

Semi-Automatic and extremely reliable. Survived the european winters and Pacific jungles in Phillipines. Absolute masterpiece of a design. As a army brat I always wondered what it would have been like to fire this beauty. Working condition M1 Garand are hard to come by these days. Most of them end up in ww2 collectors shelves but I want to fire it one day

Steal one and go ER

That's like using a typewriter instead of Microsoft Word because it was the greatest innovation in writing in a time period

shoot us all in the back of the head with it so we can all gain maximum forward growth

It definitely looks like it can blow your limbs off

I got to fire it because one of my dad's friends had one. The ping is a lot more satisfying irl. It can fuck up your thumb if you aren't careful tho.

Can’t relate don’t give a fuck about guns

Not really, you're shooting this gun for the novelty of it. Same with if you were to use a typewriter. If you actually needed to get serious, of course you would never use an M1 Garand, just like you would never use a typewriter. But you can appreciate the engineering behind these things.

You said that the comparison isn’t true but then said it is true in the same reply

Yeah but no one in the current day is actually "using" a typewriter over Word. They would just be trying out a typewriter, not actually "using" it to produce something. When you fire an M1 Garand at a rifle range, you're not really "using" the gun for its true purpose, you're just trying it out for the novelty of it being one of the best weapons during a certain time period.

The sights are also a masterpiece. I love the ghost ring sights on american rifles. They mog notch style iron sights hard. It is beauty of a rifle and at the time a vast impovement over bolt action.

However it was not what Patton said it was. That would be the Stg 44. That was revolutionary. A shorter round since most combat was under 300 m, a 30 round magazine and full auto with a switch for semi auto.
