“The M1 Carbine is still a mighty fine distance weapon with lots of firepower.”
The carbine fires a .30 calibre pistol round, and was intended to be issued to officers and members of crew served weapons, radio operators etc instead of a pistol.
Long distance? lots of firepower? lolololol
Obviously, i was confusing it with the M-1 Garand.

I believe it is the equivalent of a rimless 32/20 WCF round.
