[Devs pls notice]misrepresentation of M1 garand reload and bug

[Herr Kommissar]

I have not seen many post about the bug and inaccuracy in portraying the M1 garand.
So i decide to write this post and maybe clear up a few myths about the rifle, just to make sure the devs know how this rifle functions and maybe make the rifle more realistic.

Currently in game, the M1 garand rifle does not eject the empty clip mag when all 8 shots are fired, requiring the player to manually drag the mag into the inventory and then press R or drag a fresh mag into the gun (I believe this is a bug). Also, players cannot reload the gun when there are still bullet in the mag/ chamber, which is inaccurate to how the gun actually functions in real life. Realistically, the shooter can eject the clip mag when there are still bullets left, and put in a new one. The players should also be able to add individual bullet into the gun while there are bullets left in the gun/mag.

Here is a video to clear up some misconception regarding the garand rifle, and the guy in the video shows us the various ways of reloading a M1 garand.

suggestion to the devs: Try make it possible to add ammo to the clip magazine when it is in the gun. Fix the bug that prevent the clip from ejecting. Allow players to remove a clip no matter how many bullets are in it, and shovel in another one.

With all being said, I do very love the old school rifles like the garand and the kar98 in game. Pls give them all the glory they deserve! I'm also looking forward for that Mosin nagant ;)

(moderators pls feel free to move this to the suggestion section if u decide this is more of a suggestion)

Can confirm the two in the chamber thing. Not sure how I did it, but it happened to me.

In Red Orchestra you can unlock a 'faux' ping technique where you can ping your rifle when it's loaded..

Realistically though, you're not going to hear it. Both sides returning fire with .30-06 and other intermediate rifle rounds, grenades and artillery going off, you're probably not going to hear a little 'ping' of some metal.
