As I recall, not sure, they had problems with the 30 caliber M1 Carbine. When the Chinese came into the Korean war the carbine would not penetrate the padded clothing worn by the chinese. Does any body know about this???

The M1 Carbine lacked punch against adrenaline fuled bugle charging Chinese, but do you really think a quilted parkas stopped a 110gr. RN bullet leaving the muzzle at 1800 to 2000 fps. I don't think so.
Test theory on an old used sleeping bag, and make sure you put it in front of a safe backstop.
The carbine was a better alternative to being armed with a pistol. It's about a 100 yd. gun, but more effective up close.
Today, CorBon DPX in .30 Carbine should solve any HD stopping power issues.
