OK- I have a question. I was watching something the other night, called SHOOTOUT, which is some history show that reenacts battles and whatnot. It seems like a great production and all, obviously financed, but this one guy was using an M1 Garand to take out 8-12 guys. (WWII battle.) No problem there. But he was firing this babe single shot and every time he pulled the trigger he would then 'rack another round' by using his left hand to slide under the gun and rack the bolt from the underside. Now,.... I own an M1 and I have shot it quite a bit. The action is mean and you can't use your fingertips to pull that bolt back. NOT TO MENTION that no one in their right mind in combat would pass up semi-auto if it was available!
Can you even cycle the M1 from semi-auto to single shot? I am embarrassed to say that I don't know. I haven't played with my Garand in a few months. Was the show totally inaccurate or what? Thanks.
