Better get started, then.

This machine is outmoded, but can be effective in limited capacity.

I shot an M1 in 1967, when I was 15 (at targets, not Fascists, by the way) and found it to be accurate, well balanced, but a little heavy for me at that age.
executivedisfunction
Nobody liked carrying one. Best used off a rest, for accuracy with iron sights. Then weight doesn't matter, besides giving your shoulder a bit of a break.

That doesn't kill fascists. It creates fascists. Courage is what kills fascists. The kids standing up to ICE with their glitter bombs is what kills fascists. The simple act of standing up and saying this is wrong is what kills fascists. Rosa Parks killed fascism by refusing to give up her seat. A gun is just a tool. Its the heart that wields it that is the weapon.
MaleProstateMilker88
The glitter thing was apparently just intentional misinformation. Also I think you are not aware that peaceful protests have very rarely actually worked. If there hadn't been violent uprising, like American slaves uprisings, there would have been no Rosa Parks. You can't talk to fascists and appeal to logic since they have no qualms in living illogical lives, which is the basis of fascism. Ideology doesn't need logic.

No, that's one of several machines that make folk music.

I have one of those! An american GI gave it to my great-uncle somewhere in the pacific theatre during ww2. Well, he probably looted it off a GI's body. I did have to get it completely disabled to legally keep it after our gun restriction laws were brought in though.

It’s such a satisfying ding. I really need to get one.

Yes you should. More than one, in fact.

Communists too
AllMaktAtTengilVarBefriare
In almost equal numbers too, impressive.
TheOnlyCanadianWhoDoesNotLikeHockey
It kills indiscriminately. Social philosophy means nothing to it
MeestowKitty
I'd say you're fun at parties, but you don't seem like the type to get a ton of invites.
PoorBoyChevelle
It really doesn't, it's very discriminatory in killing just the people directly infront of it

This has a better purpose than the orphan crushing machine.

and it is aesthetically pleasing.
ProjectDA
down side is its illegal to walk around with loaded. you have to get some spicy pistols.
you can walk around with 20+1 of these ATF legal bois in a pistol.
peterbozeman
Greek soldiers, specifically those in the Presidential Guard (Evzones), use garands. I think because they are so pretty.
mikeatike
The arch in the background makes the middle guy look like he has twin ponytails.
eddbrowne
Enemy would use the ping as the time to move or fire. They had about 10 seconds.
Bluedinosaur
Given the effective ranges of most firefights, I doubt most enemies on the receiving end of the Garands can really hear the pings, especially if they're firing back.
eddbrowne
I quote german soldiers recalling forests of 1944-45. Long ago I ejected M1 clips many times at ranges. Your doubts ?
unwaver
I'd argue a Sig is much more visually pleasing, but then again, I am biased with machinery.
peterbozeman
Which sig?
unwaver
That's like asking me what my favourite colour is... I don't have a single answer for that, but let's just compare the image to an SL-5. Boom.
peterbozeman
The shotgun? Or, is there a ww2 SL-5 I'm not picturing?
Hotjoe1991
And audibly pleasing. PING!

The machine that tells us that the baby is alive!
johnxbear
I can't find it but someone made a manga (at least one page anyway) of a girl who is a mosin nagant. I just remember her leaning in to someone's ear and whispering "ping"
DorkJedi
M1 and Mosin are two very different animals.
johnxbear
Yeah I meant garand not sure why I said mosin.
johnxbear
*garand not nagant

It does not got ding, it goes PING!

and "ah fuck! my thumb!"
punnypanther
The rule of thumb when loading an m1 garand is.. hehehehe..
Nengex
Doesn't matter what sound it makes. You won't hear it. You just put 8 .30-06-sized holes in 8 different Nazis. You can't hear fuck.
I fucking love mine anyways.
redsmerf
Can't hear it over the sound of you cursing after getting your thumb smashed in it
thedarkcanuck
You don't hear the ping, you feel it in your heart. Unless you're a nazi, then you just feel the 30-06 in your heart
MisterLemons
Look at moneybags here able to afford filling the whole enbloc.
Nengex
I handload for that reason lol.
I can't afford to buy that much factory .30-06
paulbloface
Started rolling my own to save money. Ended up rolling my own to shoot more/nicer ammo that doesn't save me money...
Bluedinosaur
Can you use the FMJ or whatever COD perk it's now called for increased bullet penetration so that you can double that amount and put 16 30.-06-sized holes in 16 different Nazis with the same 8 bullets?
ThatLoserTheFourth
FMJ is short for full metal jacket, which is standard issue for military. Think HPs and jHPs are actually considered a war crime. But it's cheaply made ammo and does less damage to its target due to its tendency to overpenetrate
Bluedinosaur
I know what FMJ is so I added "whatever COD perk it's now called" to specify that I was making a stupid nerdy video game reference rather than contributing actual proper discussion about firearms. In COD MW2 (old one) FMJ was considered a weapon "modification" (lmao) and added increased bullet penetration for the player, which might also increase the chance of Double Kill should there be an enemy standing behind your first target.
ThatLoserTheFourth
Ah yeah, fair enough. Hard to tell, especially with something like firearms where there is a *lot* of misunderstanding/misconception. Lol I do remember that, though. The fact it was an "upgrade" was super funny to me

I'm a communist and I have several. I recommend we learn to use them. The fascists know already.

I’m a dirty lefty and I have one. I’m just not larping in public with it.

You sure? Democrats don't parade in public with them.
Calicoastin818
Fire 7 and have the next mag on standby once you fire that 8th
executivedisfunction
In close combat, reloading after the 7th, then throwing the empty clip on frozen ground, worked a treat. You had 8 up, when the enemy broke cover. I wasn't there, some pretty good writers helps us understand what one can, from a distance.
ArcUlfr
My family used Lee-Enfields for that sort of thing.
PyroAvok
I have an M1, I would love to get a No. 4 Mk 1.
thedarkcanuck
Hello, fellow Commonwealther
trumpypumpyinyourrumpy
Yep, mine too. Although dad was issued an SLR and SMG and a tank. I was issued a Steyr AUG. However i have a ww1 and ww2 lee enfield that i use for hunting.
I would like a mkV lee enfield jungle carbine.

Use anything you can find until you can’t find anything more, and then start biting.

Mine used Nagants and T34s...

jostnick
Fun fact: India was the last country to issue bolt action rifles for general military use. They were Lee-Enfields chambered in NATO standard .308.
Bluedinosaur
I was in India a few years ago, and the police I came across there were equipped with Lee-Enfields. Really cool up close in person, seeing it used in a contemporary context.
IrateWolfe
Until recently, the Canadian Rangers still used the Lee-Enfield, because modern firearms just can't handle the cold the same way.
icanc4
Partly that, partly because the Northern Rangers were kind of an after thought, performative sovereignty patrol
thedarkcanuck
They're already having to replace the new C-22s at a cost of 10 million dollars because the laminate stocks keep falling apart. The Rangers want their Enfields back.
IrateWolfe
I saw that, lol
paulbloface
It's not so much a lack of modern options that can handle it. More that our budget and procurement process is a shitshow.
IrateWolfe
The modern option they replaced it with promptly failed, and is going to take 3 tears and ten mil to replace
paulbloface
Because they shit the bed selecting laminate stocks that weren't suitable to the conditions and our procurement process is a mess that inflates costs and timelines while failing to set or meet appropriate goals on the way. The wrong product being selected doesn't mean there are no right products.
