...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:

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:
..I must admit that KodyJaret sent that to me a few months back and you bet I saved it..
