Thousands of Japs know it works.
I'm not at all impressed with the 30 carbine BUT Mom's cousin survived the "island campaign" as a US Marine in WW2 on the performance of his M1 carbine. His comment during one of the very few times I heard his talk about the war was "when you saw one, you gave him the full mag and he didn't walk away from that". This guy carried a carbine for deer hunting and I always knew when he had seen a deer during the season. There would be a 3,5, or 10 shot volley of little pops.
With this comment in mind, make sure you're prepared to "give him the full mag" if confronted.
