youtube.com/watch?v=x9AwgIkSReIListen to how audible the ping sound is in REAL lifeyoutube.com/watch?v=vHXGAXqFkz4&feature=relatedor this video, its virtually impossible to hear, even at close range, where the mic is.

@MrBigBearBrown Its not loud at all outdoors (battlefield), just ask any WWII vet, or WWII re-enactor, or hell, anyone who knows Garands well. You just dont hear it, just see it pop out, with no sound.Ping: Extremely destinctive? yes. Extremely audible? noDont believe everything you hear and see on TV kids ;)

I really doubt that ping is all that loud...

@2020skip Exactly and they go and have all the inexperienced people out there believe it ws a flaw in combat, which it wasnt. Even IF the enemy heard it, they'd more than likely use that as a reason to run away and bridge more distance between you and them, since bolt actions are horrible at close range compared to semi automatic rifles. The ping being a flaw of the design in battle is not true, the M-1 has no flaws for its era.

I have fired many rounds with the M1 in matches, and cannot recall ever hearing the "ping" as the clip was ejected from the M1's firing not more then 3 feet on either side of me. I think this is sheer nonsense, put forward by guys who eject clips in their living rooms, and listen to them bang off the coffee table.

@1ohtaf1 Just give up man. LoneWolf051 has more logic on the situation than you do, just watch the videos. Stubborn bastard.
