That was really interesting. I especially liked the side by side with the AR showing how the Garand actually cycles faster. Anybody here ever bump fired a Garand? My friend has one with a somewhat worn barrel, and I bump fired it a few times. If you do it right, it fires about like an MG42!! If you don't do it well, it's like a BAR. Wouldn't do that if it had a nice barrel (even with this one, I only did one or two clips before letting the barrel cool a bit.)
