you know.. when you look at the M1 garand weighing close to 12lbs, the thompson weighing close to 11 pounds.... and then you look at the M1 carbine containing more power, more range than the thompson and weighing in at less than 6lbs.. its a no brainer, if i was in WWII, unless i knew i was going to specifically fighting at long ranges of over 200-300 yards... i would have taken the M1 carbine over the others.. especially the thompson, having nearly half the weight but twice the muzzle energy of the thompson
simply put, the carbine just doesnt get as much love as it should, heck, its probably a better close range rifle than the M4 carbine.. wow, now you make me want to buy an M1 carbine
