The Garand has an internal magazine which can be reasonably quickly loaded with a stripper clip (you strip the rounds out of the clip and into the magazine.)

I've only seen them loaded using M1 en bloc clips which hold 8 rounds. These clips remain in the magazine until the last shot is fired, then are automatically ejected.

Thanks - I had a feeling I had gotten that part wrong.

I need to get me a Garand...

Ejected with a loud “ping!” to advertise that you’re out of ammo to all within earshot.
