Trained with the M1 in Army Basic and the M14 in Army Advanced Infantry Training in 1963. Admittedly, fired many more rounds with the M14 in both semi-Auto and auto. Both M1 and M14 were very accurate out to 300 yards. Did not Fire beyond that range in Basic with the M1. Fired out to 400 yards in AIT with the M14. Hit very,very few times at that range. Cannot blame the rifle. I am not a skilled rifleman at that distance. When firing in a prone position I very much favored the M1. The magazine with the M14 made me less stable in that position. However, reloading fewer times and having 20 rounds was a distinct advantage. Not hearing the ping at the 8 round clip when I was concentrating on a down range target meant I would at times not realize I needed to reload the M14 when the 20 round magazine emptied. My reload speed was about the same after a few weeks (then months, then 2 years) intensive practice. I never counted my shots. I just seemed to know when it was time to reload. Really disliked the M14 on auto. Just touching the trigger fired 3 rounds. If firing from the shoulder my third shot was well over my aiming point, even with the bipod model. Waste of ammunition. I just liked the M1 over the M14 overall. I spent 2 years and 6 months in Germany in an Infantry unit all with the M14. Very good weapon but still preferred the M1 - personal choice.
Good summary and points made regarding both rifles especially when shooting prone. Best practice with a semi is to reload with one in the pipe which gives the M14 the advantage there. Still I agree with your preference for the M1.
Anything past 300m is very difficult to see with naked eye unless there is some clear color difference between your target and the foreground. The army’s longest qual distance today is 300m. Yards is no longer used.

Carred the M14 for 20 months in combat in Nam, it never let me down, even when I was up to my neck in the mud of a stinken rice paddy, what more could you ask for! Oh I am a retired marine Msgt.
Marine Corps! I salute you! What do you think of the troops today? Be honest. My old man was Marine Corps for 30 years. He's turning in his grave at what has happened to todays military.
I trust an m14, they are reliable and accurate and they got a punch to it… never shot an m1 Grant so, I can’t say but carrying that m14 for a couple of hours while wearing a bulletproof vest, it does get heavy! 😂
а мне представляется наоборот. Из М-1 стреляй, слушай, вставляй пачку, стреляй. Посчитайте количество операций при перезарядке. Кроме того с собой носишь только патроны. в пачке. Дополнительного веса в виде пустых магазинов не носишь. Пиздюлей за утрату в бою пустого магазина не получаешь.
I was a Marine from '62--'66. I trained and qualified at PI with the M-14, and later in Fleet. I didn't have to qualify with the M-1, but carried it in ITR at Geiger; no trouble hitting what I aimed at on the "John Wayne" courses. I preferred the M-14, especially when I was an AR man in a fire team; 20 rounds v 8. Big difference.
If I had to choose between the M1 Garand and the M14… it’s a draw for me because each rifle has its own favored characteristics. The M1 Garand is the favorite rifle of Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons for its history and the M1 being the candid inspiration for the Kalashnikov AK. The M14 on the flip side is what I would use for skirmishes because of the advantage of using the modern detachable magazine therefore not worrying about getting the Garand Thumb in the heat of battle. So it looks like the M14 is the short answer, and with the long answer being both of them good in their own ways.

I used an M14 when I was in the service. It served me well through a few years of fighting insurgents. I also handled an M1, though not in combat. I have been in armed engagements with rebels who have used the M1 among other weapons against us. Both are equally lethal, although the M14 has more rounds in a single mag load.
I was in the Italian Armed Forces from '98-00. We used the M-14 as our basic training rifle and for ceremonies. It's a bit heavy, but it's a great, high powered rifle with a lot kick and fairly accurate too
Italian army has never adopted the m14. I was in the army as well in 1995 and we still where using m1 garand for not operative corps. We also had some Beretta BM59 (quite similar to M14) and they were really lovely to shoot and to manage.
To my knowledge the M14 was never used in Italy. You're probably thinking of the BM59, another M1 Garand derivative, which was chosen over the more popular Western European designs (FN FAL and H&K G3) in order to utilise the M1 Garand assembly line at Beretta
I was trained on the M1 Garand back in 1962 and made marksman at 200 yards. I would pick the M1 over the M14 any day, every time, although the M-14 has more rounds and loads better. Wish I had both today.
The development brought on by WW2 is absolutely staggering. The M1 Garand in the late 1930s was the bleeding edge of infantry small arms tech. The M14 designed in the early 1950s was obsolete before it was even finished.
In combat I would rather have the Garand. I own both. The Garand's balance is more front heavy which I prefer and the enbloc loading design is faster than mag changes.
I would prefer the M14, specifically because any magazine related malfunction (99% of malfunctions) is FAR harder to clear in a Garand than an M14 where you can swap and throw away the mag

The one advantage of the Garand that is overlooked is that you can lie down prone and shoot. The box mag on the M14 won't let you do that exactly and forces you to elevate your head. The other advantage which the military apparently favored then is that you don't have to worry about losing your box mag or reloading it. The enbloc clips were never reused in combat. Box mags could be expendable, but I wouldn't throw it away unless I was standing next to a crate full of loaded ones.

Having qualified with both rifles during my time in the military (1965-1968), I liked the M-14 the best. Eight rounds vs. twenty rounds was a big plus. (We also had an adapter that allowed us to make the M-14 fully automatic. However, it was impossible - at least for me- to hold the M-14 steady on fully automatic).
I had the M14 in boot camp, so I will always be partial to it. The only category the M1 had the advantage was being a little bit lighter. But the added fire power of the M14 gives it the edge. And it is a select-fire weapon as well.
I have not had any experience with the M1 Garand, but I have fired the M 14 numerous times back when I served as a Gunners Mate in US Navy. The M14 was very accurate at 200 yards; a great weapon in my opinion.
When someone steps on my Lawn I come out with the Garand on the left arm and M14 on my right! I’ve never seen someone crap their pants so fast! Sometimes it’s the Amazon boy but wait he’s use to crappin his pants because they don’t give the employees enough breaks!
I would say the M1 is the better rifle overall. Officially, the Garand is an inch shorter than the M14 and just so happens to have a longer barrel which is good. The lack of a protruding magazine happens to also be a positive if you are trying to store it quickly or crawl with it in a tight spot. The felt recoil is about the same since the M14 is more unbalanced as well. The M14 was such a pos that the war torn Italians made a better version of the M14 out of a modified Garand. Having John Garand help design the "successor" would have helped the rifle to not be shit. The M16 should have immediately replaced the rifle.
Own both and for fun id pick Garand for fight its M14. M14 can safely use a wider variety of ammo and has larger capacity. M14 also can easily be topped off with strip clips or scoped for longer range.
Have never had the opportunity to shoot an M1 Garand but I did with an M1A (the civilian version of the M-14) and greatly enjoyed it. We were taught to zero at 300 and move back from there and the course of fire was usually 500/600/800 yards and the occasional 900/1000 thrown in to frustrate us. Target bulls eyes sure are small at that range. Figuratively, that is. I imagine that I won't break cover as much changing a mag as I would inserting a clip but then, I haven't had the opportunity. They're both exceptional weapons. As to that myth that the M1 inspired the AK-47: dream on. Clearly Kalashnikov cribbed off the Stg 44 right down to the intermediate round used on that the first true assault rifle. That they almost look identical stands as more proof of the design that the AK fixed any teething problems on. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I had a six-month experience in using M14 and about a 1.75 year experience on M1. Both of them are very powerful and easy to be operated. We like both of them although M14 is fully automatic and M1 is semi-automatic
I carried the M-14 when I was in Vietnam, it's a kickass weapon. The M1 Garand is also a beautiful weapon but when the shell has been expelled it makes a very distinctive sound that alerts the enemy that you're empty. Not to mention that the M-14 holds more rounds than the Garand.
The M-14 with the 20 round mag. The downside of the 14 is the 20 round mag. It gets in the way sometimes when trying to rest the Rifle! I was issued the 14 in 68. I liked everything about it except the weight!
You need to set up a comparison between the Italian BM-59 (Italian modified M1rifles with detachable 20 rd box magazines). It may be a better comparison. Other sugested comparisons are (1) the US M1 rifle and the Italian BM-59 as well as the Italian BM-59 & the M-14 series.
I was issued both in the Marine Corps. The main difference between the two is that the m14 had 20 round magazines and was capable of firing fully automatic. They are both very good weapons.
Honestly it really seems like both are great rifles, biggest issue with the M14 was its intended roll. The US decided to take the M1 and make it a jack of all trades weapon when it clearly did not excel at that. The M14 is much better in a DMR role it seems. Could be totally wrong but that’s just from what I’ve seen.
I have both a M1 Garand and a M1A (semi automatic version of the M14.) I enjoy shooting both Rifles. The Garand is less punishing to shoot, especially if you are using the spec'd 150gr ball 30-06 in the Garand. However, with my M16, M4, AR10, AR15 background I do prefer the M1A magazines vs the Garand en bloc clips. Both Rifles have the same awesome peep iron sights. You can mount a scope on the M1A but I prefer to keep mine on the sights. Bottom Line: I love both Rifles. The M1A is the only rifle I still have in .308 Win.
I’m always leery of the M1’s potential for “Garand thumb” when inserting the enbloc clip. Plus, the M14 mag is easily topped up via the stripper clip slot. Also, 10-20 rounds vs 8 rounds, no brainer, in my humble opinion.
The M14 was only issued with one mag,the loading process is thorough the top with stripper clips,it’s easier to carry stripper clips than loaded mags, even today you load the M16 mags with stripper clips, who wants to carry a bunch of loaded mags,when stripper clips are a lot easier,and carry more ammo My opinion they got it right with the M1 The only magazine weapon in history that I can think off that the operator carried multiple magazines was the BAR
I like both tbh.. but I like m14 a lot more.. also ebr style is good too.. 👌 Also tried loading m1 before.. and fucker ate my thumb.. it was old and badly maintained after all.. Lol 😆
Both are winners as was the United States Military for having two outstanding weapons. I am both a M1 Garand fan and owner as well as a M14 fan and owner.
I served 17 years in the united states army and I have fired all standard issue weapons of the army. Hands down the M-14 in my opinion is the primary weapon I would want to carry. But I give serious props to the m-1 grand. M-1 carbine was ok but no stopping power as it was .30 caliber.
I am fortunate in owning an actual M14 military issue, have fired it quite a few times and I am a huge fan of it so I don't know if I would take it hunting I do love the grand though it is a beautiful gun.

Keep Up The Good Work And Remember The Stay Awesome And Have a Nice Day.
Of the two...I would take the Garand. When firing....Clips. already loaded, in pockets of bandileers versus stripper clips , mag adapter running rounds into a magazine. M1a has one edge, topping the mag. Garand has the " dump" the clip up out to put in a full clip.
imo garand bc ammo size makes more sense and its shorter, so its more portable. afaik firefights do not take place at sniper like distances, so a rifle with a longer barrel for more range would not be needed by most infantry. unfortunately ive heard it tends to jam more, especially on the 8th shot, and the ping tends to give away depletion to enemies. and i dont like that weird loading system. normal magazines make more sense (but i guess one advantage is that its easier to use on cover bc the magazine cant get in the way)
The M14 would have been a better rifle during WWII. Being magazine feed could have provided a huge benefit over an internal 8 round clip. It wouldn't have made that ping when the M1 ran out.
Great video but your basically comparing an apple; well to an apple; it’s the same rifle just an upgraded one competing with an original version Love them both Best rifles in the world by look sound and calibre
M1 grand is the best in infantry for sniping purposes, the m14 however much better in combat because of loading system, and more ammunition that can load about 20 rounds.. This M1 garand and m14 however are best for the long range combat, however for close combat it's better to use ar14 or armalite rifles because they are fast and can be fired on double tap

I have not had any experience with the M1 Garand, but I have fired the M 14 numerous times back when I served as a Gunners Mate in US Navy. The M14 was very accurate at 200 yards; a great weapon in my opinion.
Qualified on both. Loved both. Firing on full automatic with the 14 was a wild ride. Loved it.
The thing that makes the M-1 Garant is its slickness. No protruding mag. As the Winchester. I trained with the M-14 loved it.
I am the 6.100👍.
I would love to see an M-14 vs HK G-3 comparison, and of course a G-3 vs FAL. I have confidence that you probably own both!😂
Both amazing 👍🏻
the sound of this videos are amazing, i was wondering if could use them in a videogame i am making
When someone steps on my Lawn I come out with the Garand on the left arm and M14 on my right! I’ve never seen someone crap their pants so fast! Sometimes it’s the Amazon boy but wait he’s use to crappin his pants because they don’t give the employees enough breaks!
M1 garand was used by un forces during the korean war and our korean uses it too

I would say the M1 is the better rifle overall. Officially, the Garand is an inch shorter than the M14 and just so happens to have a longer barrel which is good. The lack of a protruding magazine happens to also be a positive if you are trying to store it quickly or crawl with it in a tight spot. The felt recoil is about the same since the M14 is more unbalanced as well. The M14 was such a pos that the war torn Italians made a better version of the M14 out of a modified Garand. Having John Garand help design the "successor" would have helped the rifle to not be shit. The M16 should have immediately replaced the rifle.
Own both and for fun id pick Garand for fight its M14. M14 can safely use a wider variety of ammo and has larger capacity. M14 also can easily be topped off with strip clips or scoped for longer range.
Have never had the opportunity to shoot an M1 Garand but I did with an M1A (the civilian version of the M-14) and greatly enjoyed it. We were taught to zero at 300 and move back from there and the course of fire was usually 500/600/800 yards and the occasional 900/1000 thrown in to frustrate us. Target bulls eyes sure are small at that range. Figuratively, that is. I imagine that I won't break cover as much changing a mag as I would inserting a clip but then, I haven't had the opportunity. They're both exceptional weapons. As to that myth that the M1 inspired the AK-47: dream on. Clearly Kalashnikov cribbed off the Stg 44 right down to the intermediate round used on that the first true assault rifle. That they almost look identical stands as more proof of the design that the AK fixed any teething problems on. Just wanted to throw that out there.
If you are going to perform a realistic ballistic penetration test, you do not use coke bottles, you use ballistic gelatin.
Apples and oranges there's no comparison. You get the job done with an M14.
I had a six-month experience in using M14 and about a 1.75 year experience on M1.
Both of them are very powerful and easy to be operated. We like both of them although M14 is fully automatic and M1 is semi-automatic
I carried the M-14 when I was in Vietnam, it's a kickass weapon. The M1 Garand is also a beautiful weapon but when the shell has been expelled it makes a very distinctive sound that alerts the enemy that you're empty. Not to mention that the M-14 holds more rounds than the Garand.
308 preferred.... good day sammy
Mauser 98k & Springfield 1903, please
To me it always seems the M1 Garand has a little more "Ummpphh..." power than the 306 M1a M14 . That's just me.
The M-14 with the 20 round mag. The downside of the 14 is the 20 round mag. It gets in the way sometimes when trying to rest the Rifle! I was issued the 14 in 68. I liked everything about it except the weight!
If the M1 Garand married the BAR, the offspring would be the M14.
M1 garand, is just my favorite, and so iconic, now I'm not saying it's really better, but relible
You need to set up a comparison between the Italian BM-59 (Italian modified M1rifles with detachable 20 rd box magazines). It may be a better comparison. Other sugested comparisons are (1) the US M1 rifle and the Italian BM-59 as well as the Italian BM-59 & the M-14 series.
I was issued both in the Marine Corps. The main difference between the two is that the m14 had 20 round magazines and was capable of firing fully automatic. They are both very good weapons.
Honestly it really seems like both are great rifles, biggest issue with the M14 was its intended roll. The US decided to take the M1 and make it a jack of all trades weapon when it clearly did not excel at that. The M14 is much better in a DMR role it seems.
Could be totally wrong but that’s just from what I’ve seen.
M1 for fun and satisfying pings
M14 for better ammo capacity
I have both a M1 Garand and a M1A (semi automatic version of the M14.)
I enjoy shooting both Rifles. The Garand is less punishing to shoot, especially if you are using the spec'd 150gr ball 30-06 in the Garand.
However, with my M16, M4, AR10, AR15 background I do prefer the M1A magazines vs the Garand en bloc clips.
Both Rifles have the same awesome peep iron sights.
You can mount a scope on the M1A but I prefer to keep mine on the sights.
Bottom Line: I love both Rifles. The M1A is the only rifle I still have in .308 Win.
Either of them would be a nice weapon to have.
I own both, i love both!!! If i could only chose one if have a nervous break down trying to decide.
Finally a new vídeo, what is happening with you guys? You are posting very few vídeos nowadays.
30-06 is a hell of a cartridge, had to be Man to carry that M1 around with ya WW2 😮
using both M1 and M14 in my basic training a way long ago. love both and M1 is still my favorite then
I’m always leery of the M1’s potential for “Garand thumb” when inserting the enbloc clip. Plus, the M14 mag is easily topped up via the stripper clip slot. Also, 10-20 rounds vs 8 rounds, no brainer, in my humble opinion.
The M14 was only issued with one mag,the loading process is thorough the top with stripper clips,it’s easier to carry stripper clips than loaded mags, even today you load the M16 mags with stripper clips, who wants to carry a bunch of loaded mags,when stripper clips are a lot easier,and carry more ammo
My opinion they got it right with the M1
The only magazine weapon in history that I can think off that the operator carried multiple magazines was the BAR
The Garand will always be number one in my book. Better cartridge for one thing. Hands down!
The Two Legend different Era of War
I used the M-14 in the Marine Corps but the M-1 would have been so much cooler.
i really like both!
Yo, The 2 weapons looks like Matches on Outside Range for Backyard.
Were do you get the World War 2 weapons i always wanted to shoot World War 2 weapons
since I have both,, 30.06 ammo is cheaper than .308 ammo!! my choice--- M-1 GARAND!!
No the 30-06 isn't lmao. There's no way, you liar.
Makes sense considering the m14 is essentially an m1 modified for selectable automatic fire
I like both tbh.. but I like m14 a lot more.. also ebr style is good too.. 👌
Also tried loading m1 before.. and fucker ate my thumb.. it was old and badly maintained after all..
Lol 😆
Hey, I have a request! How about the MP5 vs the AK74u SMG’s?
Both are winners as was the United States Military for having two outstanding weapons. I am both a M1 Garand fan and owner as well as a M14 fan and owner.
I served 17 years in the united states army and I have fired all standard issue weapons of the army. Hands down the M-14 in my opinion is the primary weapon I would want to carry. But I give serious props to the m-1 grand. M-1 carbine was ok but no stopping power as it was .30 caliber.
Single shot lang nsmsn kc garand pero malakas anim na garand sabay sabay kayumbas ng machine gun ..Ang m14 may atomatik yan .
I am fortunate in owning an actual M14 military issue, have fired it quite a few times and I am a huge fan of it so I don't know if I would take it hunting I do love the grand though it is a beautiful gun.
Carried both but really liked the M-1 the best.
Hey Dude When Are You Guys Gonna Upload Another Video Of You Guys Shooting The M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle Like I Know You Did Part 1 and Part 2 But When Are You Guys Gonna Make An M1 Garand Shooting In the New Format.
@GunsOfTheWorId Thanks Dude I'm So Glad You Appreciate My Support From Me Being A British Subscriber Who's Been Watching Your Videos 4 Over a Year You American Gun Collectors Always Have The Right The Own Old Guns Both In
Semi-Automatic & Fully-Automatic Mode Like The M1903 Springfield Rifle The M1 Garand The M1 Carbine The M1897 Trench Gun The M1928A1 Thompson
And Of course The Colt M1911A1 Pistol.
Keep Up The Good Work And Remember The Stay Awesome And Have a Nice Day.
You should shoot an old submachine gun from
World War 1
The submachine gun wasn't invented until about 1920, after WWI!
@@rongendron8705The Bergmann MP18 would disagree!
Of the two...I would take the Garand. When firing....Clips. already loaded, in pockets of bandileers versus stripper clips , mag adapter running rounds into a magazine. M1a has one edge, topping the mag. Garand has the " dump" the clip up out to put in a full clip.
imo garand bc ammo size makes more sense and its shorter, so its more portable. afaik firefights do not take place at sniper like distances, so a rifle with a longer barrel for more range would not be needed by most infantry. unfortunately ive heard it tends to jam more, especially on the 8th shot, and the ping tends to give away depletion to enemies. and i dont like that weird loading system. normal magazines make more sense (but i guess one advantage is that its easier to use on cover bc the magazine cant get in the way)
I trained on the M-14 in Basic .I scored expert . I love it .
Great rifles!
Both the same but I like the M1 and I like the sound better.
All m1a front sight wiggles
M1 garand sets grooves
They are the same except that M14 magazine load is more convenient. M1 if you are careless in loading you end up with a Garand thumb!
Both
Had the M1 in basic and loved it. Had the M14 in AIT and hated it.
Saya mengagumi M1 karena terbukti di medan perang... Bravo M1.
M14 from boot camp sept 65 thru Vietnam Apr 67,,never failed me. Usmc
can you please make a video about the weapons of the ussr in the second world war
The M14 would have been a better rifle during WWII. Being magazine feed could have provided a huge benefit over an internal 8 round clip. It wouldn't have made that ping when the M1 ran out.
Great video but your basically comparing an apple; well to an apple; it’s the same rifle just an upgraded one competing with an original version
Love them both
Best rifles in the world by look sound and calibre
M1 grand is the best in infantry for sniping purposes, the m14 however much better in combat because of loading system, and more ammunition that can load about 20 rounds.. This M1 garand and m14 however are best for the long range combat, however for close combat it's better to use ar14 or armalite rifles because they are fast and can be fired on double tap
