YouTube - M1 Garand - "Ping!" Tribute; Clip Ejects

This is an excellent video of many M-1 Garands firing the last round and ejecting the En-Bloc clip through the top of the action. No finer sound in all of riflery! Bill T.

That is great. I read that the soldiers in the Pacific battles used to pound on their canteen to "fake" the ping - tricking the Japanese into showing themselves.
