"....now the carbine is another matter...sweet little weapon.."

Cute, yes. Accurate, no. And how can you call an M1 Carbine a weapon? It was specifically designed to wound opponents, not kill them.

And the only other "weapon" to rival the Carbine's notorious inaccuracy is the Ruger Mini-14. Two peas in a pod!

I carried one in combat...and it wasn't to wound...tell you what...let me shoot you at 50 yards and then you figure out it's accuracy and lethality!
