RE: 30 cal carbine
Fisrt of all, you never "just blast away" at any game animal! That's just plain irresponsible in my opinion. Second of all, always aim for heart/lung area. I myself have only used a headshot once on a deer, and that was from about 5 yards to finish him off. You'll never hear (or see) me recommend a head shot, even to expert shots.

I third the above. I'll be honest, If I was your hunting partner and saw you "blasting-away" I'd likely arrange a corporal meeting between you and my gunstock[:@] Whether you knew better or not. There's no harm in asking though. Look up deer anatomy on the internet and learn exactly where lungs/hearts/liver is and think about how you'd aim from all angles. Good luck.

If you're talking about the M-1 Carbine, those guns were notoriously weak in WW2.
I've always heard, "the carbine is what you want when you're marching, and and M-1 when you're fighting."
