“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

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