Default RE: M1 carbine-good brush gun

ORIGINAL: cyriaque

Lightweight, powerful and accurate enough at 50-75 yards, easy to carry and handle. Softnose bullet expands well.
Powerful? POWERFUL??? You think a 110 grain roundnose bullet at 1900 FPS MV is powerful???

The .30 Carbine round is just barely adequate for jackrabbits!! And then only if you use softpoint bullets. With ball ammo, you can't rely on it even stopping a jack! Let alone anything bigger!

I used the damn thing in combat once-but only until I was able to grab an M14!!
