I’ve shot M1s but never a Johnson so I can’t go by anything other than the specs. But I’ve always wondered why the Johnson never was more popular. You had more rounds, could top the mag off in the middle of a fight and didn’t tell the enemy you were out by going PINNNNNNNNNNNG.

Johnson was fine, but was harder to clean in sandy environments. What was a TERRIBLE gun was the Reising M55 SMG, darn near useless in sandy environments in which the Marines were fighting. Johnson still worked with a little cleaning. Reising SMGs got thrown in the ocean until Army showed up with their M1921Navy/M1928/M1928a1 Thompsons.

The ping thing is a myth. In a firefight if you are close enough to hear the ping, you’ll be in hand to hand fighting.
