    M1 Garand

    What're your thoughts about this rifle? It seems to me that all the other rifles get reamed when stacked up against the G43 and the starting rifle, which, in my opinion, is a bit silly.

    It's actually a good weapon. If the developers had included the option to reload midclip, the weapon would have much more appeal and ease of use. Not to mention it would be historically accurate. The Garand is also more powerful, so this compensates for the recoil and the steeper limits placed upon the player. All in all, I would pick this if I wanted a quasi medium-long range gun and had a target ready to kill with a headshot (Boom Headshot!). Besides, how can you go wrong with a military icon? :salute:

      Rifles are still being tuned, Websy, especially the bolts. They should be more deadly in the full version (may require a patch, depending on the timing of when the change was decided, we'll have to see).

      I can tell you this...I do not recommend using the Garand in fairly close quarters vs someone with a Type100 smg.

      You can reload it mid-clip in the PC Beta.

        i love using the garand, i usually take a maximum of 2 shots at a person and they usually go down unlike the other rifles where people fire 5 or more shots and still dont get the kill

            It's good, but the two first weapons barely have any recoil so they are a lot easier to use.

              I have just unlocked the rifle grenade for it and im loving this rifle. It sounds the best and feels the best. I actually think of all the rifles its the most balanced although it does have ROF issues.

                I was speaking from past Call of Duty experiences, as I have not played the Cod WaW beta nor plan to.

                  After getting into the grove of it, its pretty good. I used the SVT and the G43 for a LONG time on the Xbox beta, but i finally settled into the m1. And when it gets a scope, its a force to be reckoned with.

                    Yes, the option to add the sniper scope is beastly. Mainly what I was talking about was the recoil on the SVT and the G43 -- it's nonexistant.

                    Mainly, I've got an issue when someone drops down to the ground with a type 100 (and I'm guilty of doing this too), pulls up the sight, and pops you from across the map with a few bursts while you're sitting there trying to line up a shot. Either the M1 needs a recoil reduction or the other two rifles need a recoil increase.

                      It's not as good as the Gewehr or SVT, but it has a BAYONET!

                        One of the user vids shows a guy using the sniper scope on it...looks very cool.

                          Well I have no troubles with it. at medium to long range it is totally devastating in hardcore, in normal mode it's ok but you need 2 shots to kill instead of 1. Also I always use a bayonet on it and I've goten 7-10 kill with bayonets in the round hut on Makin. Happens alot.

                          The other rifles are not good IMO, they just feel wrong, and they don't perform the way I like them to in my hands.

                          Besides I'm a 300% all-the-way USMC fan! ORAAAAAH!

                            I think the M1 is how the rifles should feel and that the others need some recoil added. This would actually give the garand an advantage over the others because it has more power.

                              If anything they need to ramp up the noise it makes. Needs a bit more thump, as it is now it sounds like an airsoft rifle firing under water.
