I do have an SVT-40 just as good of a weapon actually better having a better magazine which was the biggest drawback of the M1 and not because of the ping and the myth that US troops got killed when the ping was heard.
As if you would even hear that in the heat of combat if you where stupid enough to expose yourself when you heard the ping anyway you would get shot by everyone else that still had rounds left.

That was always my thought.
Why would you hear that in a heated firefight? War is hell...but War is also
loud as hell.
If it wasn't so intense...You might be able to hear it.
Another military channel show had a Weapons Collector and Historian talking on there about how the US Soldiers would throw empty clips against something hard and the enemy would jump up thinking the American was out of ammo.
They're beautiful rifles though. I'd love to have one.
