Another drawback of the M1 Garand is that it is not as powerful as its German counter-part, so try to go for accurate headshots and chestshots as much as possible use your ironsights (default: right mouse button) in order to zoom in and get a more accurate shot in (remember that the tip of the ironsight is where the bullet will approximately hit).

Keep an eye on how much ammo you have because that factor can lead to a quick defeat if you're not careful. Once you shoot the entire clip, you will automatically reload (it is suggested that if you have less than three bullets, you should just waste them in order to reload quickly and easily). However, the semi-automatic benefit comes with a drawback: you cannot reload the M1 Garand until its clip depletes, the game restricts mid-clip ejecting and reloading to somewhat better balance this rifle with the German K98, if not, the M1 would hold every advantage over the K98. This makes the M1 Garand shine in indoor and medium-range outdoor environments because it can take out foes quickly and effectively without the danger of a delay.

Because it is semi-automatic, you can keep firing the rifle as fast as you can instead of Wehrmacht players, who have to pull the bolt to trigger the next round. The M1 Garand rifle is very different from its Wehrmacht counter-part, as it is semi-automatic instead of bolt-action.
