Yeah, the M1 Carbine was typically for NCOs/officers and Paratroopers... A much lighter weight weapon and practically no kick when firing it - compared to the Garand anyway.
I'll take the 10 pound Garand, thanks. :-) ------------------ Thank you U.S. WWII combat veterans |

Is it possible...In features it says enemies you'll face include Stukas, thats fine, but will they actually be flying or just rolling round firing aimlessly ? Also, It may be a little unrealistic, but can you man 88 Flaks and things like that or do you just shoot them down with your M1 Carbine http://www.pcgamers.net/ubb/wink.gif ...

The M1 Carbine was origianlly designed to replace submachineguns and pistols in arms other then Infantry, and it found itself in the hands of those already mentioned and in the Infantry and Paratroops (The M1A1). Also in November 1944, the M2 Carbine was standerdized. The M2 Carbine was Selective fire (Means Semi-automatic and Fully-Automatic capability).
During World War II, They had the 15 round box magazine. |

Von Paulus: The 30 round Magazine is a Post War devolpment. Common in the Korean war, but not in the Second World War.

Think,
You are on the ground, The plane is in the air, You have a gun made for shooting people, the plane is going 400 mph and is made of aluminum and armour plating, YOU WONT BE SHOOTING DOWN A PLANE WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN A FLAKVIERLING 38!!!! ------------------ Ein Führer!

Didn't the M1 Carbine also have a 30-round bannana clip also ?

A American M16 Halftrack with Quad .50 Cal Brownings would be able to shoot down an aircraft. But I put a little more Trust in Solothurn 20mm Cannons, then American 12.5 by 99mm Brownings..

the japanese actually had a mechanism on there rifles , designed to "shoot" at fighters on low running missions and what not, ive heard they worked in some instances
but was a diff. approach, plus there guns were s-h-i-tt-y anyway ( no offense to any of the post wwII japanese gun rifle makers) if any. |
