    Explanation: In WW2, most of the belligerents had a bolt-action rifle as their service rifle - a rifle that needs to manually chamber each round. The service rifle of the British military was the Lee-Enfield, which is highly regarded as one of the best bolt-action rifles of the period.

    The US went in with the M1 Garand, a cutting-edge semiautomatic rifle - a gun that fires every time you pull the trigger, until you run out of ammo. It makes a really satisfying ‘PING’ sound when it’s out of ammo.

        Games with satisfying bolt-action cycling are worth their weight in gold

      One of my favourite mods for DRG replaces one of the single shot weapon sounds with that of a recording of the garandes ping.
