Alliedassault - View Single Post - M-1 carbine was good for close contact and (I think) should

I actually own an M1 carbine. Very handy rifle - much lighter than a Thompson or Garand, very easy to haul around. The .30 cal. bullet is not bad either, but it has about half the powder of its big brother the .308 or the big daddy 30-06.
Range is limited on the carbine, but the recoil is alot less than the larger rounds -
so its alot more accurate close in.
Not a great rifle for deer hunting, but a good people stopper...

Sorry, got alittle off-topic there. Yeah, I'd like to see it in the game also.
