1. I stated that it was my opinion. Everyone has theirs and to each their own.

2. The M1 Carbine was not a primary battle rifle. It was mainly issued to those in a support role and not on the front lines so that those who had them had something with a little more kick than a pistol.

3. The M1 Carbine round may be good for hunting in some situations. Like coyote and such. I wouldn't know since PA does not allow semi automatic rifles for hunting up until this year and only just permitted them to be used for small game and varmints. Until the "Fudds" stop head exploding, we probably won't see much more than that for the short term.
