I suppose it might work in a one on one situation or with one soldier guarding a staircase. The enemy would have to think that they were facing one opponent for them to rush his position after a ping.

I found an interesting ordnance photo showing the development of the M1 clip dated 12-4-31. The top row displays 10 round .30 caliber clips, so there should have been a 10 round capacity, prototype .30 caliber Garand rifle early on. However, I have yet to come across a photo of that rifle.

So what are we to make of this? It's 10 rounds of 30-06. Attachment 117357
Where'd you find that one Bob?
Can't say, it would give away the answer :)
It's a very interesting piece...
If I was deaf, I think a chunk of metal flying up might be a clue.
I know the Mondragon had an early clip but not aware of 30-06 usage. I’ll have to put my google foo techniques to work as I haven’t seen a Garand 10 round with that shape. Thank you for posting Bob.
