| Decription |
| A generally good weapon, it is important to
note that the M1 Carbine was a close range weapon and not a full rifle. At
short distances it was a solid and effective weapon, but at longer ranges it
was extremely poor due to the low muzzle velocity. The bullet begins to lose
accuracy and power at around 300m, and there have been reports of M1 Carbine
rounds being deflected by a mere jacket. As long as the weapon is used in its
optimum range, it was effective enough to be preferred by troops from all arms. |
