...I've heard that redcoat targets will listen for that ping- and as soon as they hear it, they'll charge you while your reloading! Be careful.

Not a garand - carbine instead, so the ouch was not as bad.  It's ok, he was already flubbing the shot:

"Aim for a high mark and you will hit it.  No, not the first time, nor the second, and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting,
for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you will hit the bulls-eye of success."

There was an old timer at an event once that talked about modifying his to hold an extra round. It would ping, the redcoats would charge, and everyone in his unit would shoot another round. The redcoats got hip to it and stopped charging after the ping.

He got courtmartialed for altering his issued equipment.  :slap:
