it looks like you took the entire artical straight out of world.guns.ru
we need more info then that... also that is called plagerism
Is it possible world.guns.ru coppied the wikipedia article? I frequent world.guns.ru as it is a reliable source for details on many different types of fire arms. World.guns.ru has notoriously has notoriously bad english grammar and spelling. This article looks as if it might of originated on either website.
The "History" section of this article was a copyvio from the Web site [1]. Since the copyrighted text existed in every version, I deleted the page and recreated it without the copyvio text. So, someone will need to re-write the History section if it is wanted. -- Aguerriero ( talk) 20:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Somebody in charge let us know when we can once again add factual material to this article, which is ridiculously incomplete in its present form (and also, inaccurate). I have quite a bit of original, non-plagiarized, sourced, reference and factual material to add, but Heliac and Scienceman reverts and deletes all of it as soon as I add it (even though I am citing sources). -Tim 25 AUG 2006
The M1 Garand ping being used as a tool by the enemy is pretty much debunked entirely at this point. What sort of plausible scenario could it even be used? It's not a disadvantage of the M1 Garand, and the M1 Garand wikipedia page states as much. That myth needs to die. Shortspecialbus ( talk) 21:48, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
I found two official US Army studies on small arms which, among other things, address both that some thought the ping was a revealing giveaway and that there is no evidence at all this has ever happened and is a myth. Accordingly, I edited the article to reflect this. 107.77.208.79 ( talk) 16:58, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Wanted to clarify that there is no evidence the French were issued this rifle nor the Johnson LMG. Not only do they never show up in French references, but even the quoted passage from Vigneras' "Rearming the French" states that despite requesting the weapons for sovereignty troops following an initial offer from the War Department, "No favorable action appears to have been taken by the [Anglo-American Munitions Assignments Boards] in this connection." 2601:240:C400:202E:152C:92A4:6AAD:5126 ( talk) 19:27, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
