during World War II soldiers would often lose their thumbs while reloading their rifles to reload this M1 Garand you push an eight round clip into the top but here’s the catch as soon as the soldier stopped pressing on the clip he had to pull his hand up otherwise his thumb would be crushed instantly

oooooofff, THATS VERY PAINFUL.
I would totally lose my thumb if I had to do that😂
They wouldn't lose or break there thumb while loading the M1 grand they ether use one hand to load the M1 and the other the hold the clip and some times the clip wouldn't even close and you'd have to push the clip and your finger would have only gotten scratched, brused, or lose there finger nail
Thats how Garand Thumb the youtuber got his name
This is so wrong in so many ways
Just wear a thumb cover made of hard steel🙂
In The m1 grand you won’t push the round into the chamber you would let the gun do it
or keep the receiver back?
And its so fast
Grand thumb is still a thing
It's not the true way
The spring was not that strong also it wasn’t that common
Nope
Jesus died for you. He died for our sins. He loves you, He defeated Satan, And gave us the holy spirit. He is the king.✝️✝️
mannnn SO GET PROTECTION FOR UR THUMB SUMHOW. Sumway
A lot of GIs found out Hold the bolt back with the rest of your fingers
The design is very humane
American engineering.
The M1 Garand very rarely did this, and you also don't lose your thumb. On a Garan in good conditions, the bolt has to already be very VERY weakly attached for it to slide forward when reloading, otherwise it'll stay up.
Most soldiers (and people in general) will just put their hand in front of the bolt while loading.
Actually this isn’t true even @worldwarwisdom showed it, it will hurt but it’s not that bad and multiple reloads and those few failed attempts the most damage is some bruising or minor cuts and scratching also voltspade or something like that said the same thing about bruising and cuts so yes shout out to him ig
Thats convinient
Wym lose the thumbs
This gave me chills… in the best way
That's the stupidest rifle ever used in world war II ngl
Bro I thought it said it was set during world war 2 but the game takes action in world war 2😂
Fakeee
No, they wouldnt lose their thumb, not even close, but it would hurt a bit
Soldiers do a 👍
That's really painful
Why they don't use other tumb to hold the catch then after release it
Garand thumb was operator error. If you know you know.

This is actually semi untrue. You had to use both hands to work. The action now releasing it with the one hand while your thumb is still in there. Wood Creek Grantham but if you did it normally and just release the action because you had to do with two hands. If you were actually paying attention to what you're doing, you wouldn't get it caught. It was not as bad as people said it was. It did happen but it only happened in times where soldiers weren't paying attention to what they were doing which probably happened in high stressful situations
They didnt push the bullet into the chamber they simply. Pushed doen the clip and then pull their hand up fast. Most soldiers simply held the bolt back s9 that they didnt get garand thumb
That's what my friend tell me about the gun
You wouldnt lose your thumb. You would just get a bruise and/or bleed
The pain isn't that bad from a Garand but if it was a Hakim rifle that's a different story. A Hakim will literally chop your thumb off.
Yeah I have seen something else and it is not that strong😊

This gave me chills… in the best way
