      I was gonna quote him myself but I see there's no need. I'll add though "you just reload and thank Jesus you have an '06 that goes through them 6-7-8 deep." And as far as the garand thumb issue, I think it's also overstated. Might be more of an issue in the stress of combat but I've never had that issue in a range setting, even with cold, numb hands. The bolt closes when you release pressure on the fresh clip, not when you push it down. If anything, sometimes the bolt doesn't close and you need to give the charging handle a good smack to close the bolt.

      Ping aside that is bulls++it, the Lee Enfield is a better rifle: It has a stronger action, lighter, more reliable, easier to clean and maintain, accepts longer (non standard) bullets, it doesn't waste ammo with spray and pray mode (questionable but a US Army study concluded that in war an average of 2% of the bullets reach the target so the answer is not spray more but cool off and take better aim), more ammo in the magazine.

Because "spray and pray," right? You're salty a different country had a better rifle than yours... They both weighed the same. Stronger action based on what? The Garand has never had issues with the chamber blowing up LOL. People throw that around and don't even know what it means. More reliable? It's entire action is exposed to the ingress of mud and filth and is easy to jam... Not to mention the Enfield used rimmed cartridges that were prone to rimlock, impropper loading, and more jamming in the presence of mud. Accepts longer rounds? That's a negative, not a positive, it introduces more reliability problems due to a longer action. This is why the 7.62x51 NATO was developed, to shorten the catridge. Comparing a bolt action rifle to a modern semi-auto is borderline stupidity. Of course the Garand was better, no one has ever argued otherwise, except your dumbass.

      But the Gewehr 43 was NOT the first German self-loading rifle of WW2.
      This title goes to the Gewehr 41. It was developed before 1940, long before they faced the SVT-40 or even the M1 Garand. The G41 has no detachable magazine, but it had a higher quality than the G43, and it was very reliable. Very few of these weapons were made, and they are very rare. If you understand German, I would suggest you the TH-cam-channel "Waffenhof". They have a really nice review for the G41.

    'Wow, I didn't know there were such wonderful guns in the world. It is much better than old crude japanese gun. It's amazing this gun can reload once and fire multiple times without pulling the bolt every time. But, it's little big and heavy for asian.'
    All Korean soilders could armed with excellent guns - M-1 garand and M-1 carbine at the war thanks to US goverment's supply.
    I used K-2 automatic rifle when I served in military last year, and I know that the huge developments between M-1 and my K2C1 rifle are all thanks to the veterans who used M-1 rifle at the Korean War.
    We remember there was many foreign sacrifice and help for saving freedom and democracy of small, poor newly indepedent country. We grandly honor all ROK, US and UN veteran's service, we stand in awe of their sacrifice and bravery at Korean War.
    I can't sure my english grammer is perfect, but I hope my meaning has been conveyed to you. thanks.

      M14 is a pretty solid rifle, since it’s more or less a Garand on crack. Unfortunate that it didn’t see much service, but it was doomed from the start, since the AK-47 made it obsolete long before it was even introduced.

      Not all of them there are a few different prototypes from what I’ve seen the gun had a very slight redesign as well that is part but the other part is the bottom part of the rifle stocks were made smaller at least one 30-06 prototype made had 10 rounds I’ve heard there were even magazines being worked on near the end of ww2 thinking of just modifying the gun to work around it and thought it would be to much work at the time

      True, but Garand didn't want to have completely redesign the entire rifle which is why it only hold 8 rds. There were other types of rifles competing for the contract, the other one close was the M1 Johnson (nicknamed the pregnant rifle). Hard to find today but it was produce in a limited quantity.

      Unfortunately , most of the US Marine Riflemen were equiped with the M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles . Type 99 Arisaka was better than the Springfield , but also most of the Japanese Soldiers were equiped with the Type 38 Arisaka rifles and anyway they were Banzai-charge minded . Some of them never took a single shot with their Arisakas before they were killed by the US Marines . Moreover , a bolt-action rifle is quite ineffective in a jungle environment , which requires close quarter fighting weapons , like an SMG for example . Japanese had few SMGs at Guadalcanal , the Type 100/42 , which was always jamming . On the other side , the US Marines had the M1 and M1928 Thompson and the M50 and M55 Reising SMGs and they were equiped with those en-masse .
