My hopes for the M1 Garand

I too have a CMP Garand, and while I do enjoy shooting it and agree it is very reliable I have to disagree about its accuracy. That isn’t to say it is an inaccurate rifle but it’s accuracy claims are overstated. I believe this is due to National Match rifles and accurized examples that are used to win service matches… Most run of the mill Garand’s I’ve encountered shoot about 3-4 MOA even with replacement Criterion barrels. That’s the same average accuracy as the ‘inaccurate’ modern AK.

You’re giving my gun too much credit, it’s probably closer to 5, haha.
Understand when I say accurate I’m speaking relatively, as I don’t compete and to me a 2 MOA difference isn’t significant, as long as I hear the shots connect. I’m certainly not going to go drive tacks with it, but it’s absolutely good enough for me to make rapid, accurate shots on a person-sized target at 100-200m with Ball.

Just out of curiosity, how accurate is a Lee Enfield No4 IRL? Becuase, at least to me, in this game, it’s quite inaccurate, at least compared to other BA rifles.

A fresh, mint one? Probably possible to get into the ~2 MOA neighborhood if they were built for purpose, although most of the ones you’ll find on the market today have seen better days and are probably in the 5+ MOA range.
edit nevermind, Kelly posted some hard numbers

I hope it’s in the Recon class as an SLR. I just want to see the salt from M1 Garand lovers, forced to play Recon to play with their baby. I think it would serve them right for not being patient with Dice.

Am I evil? Or am I right with my views?

If it’s a 2 shot killer I’ll use it

I love the crap out of my Garand, probably one of the best gun purchases I’ve made. Very accurate, very reliable weapon.

Guns more accurate than the shooter in real life. Mine shoots pretty good at 200 yards with iron sights.

I had an American lend lease no1 mk4, was pretty accurate at 100yards, home loaded ammo made it even better.

It’s not represented that well in game.

Lol this game will be dead and abandoned by Dice before that ever gets out.

Cant say im interested in the M1 Garand, as DICE turns every weapon into the same low-recoil no sway behavior leading to the same feel with every gun.

I don’t know why I enjoy this statement so much, but it does put a smile on my face.
