As we've learned from many surviving Korean War veterans, the M1 Carbine couldn't even penetrate the wrapping paper used by the ChiComs.

  @Don Ward Thats been pretty well defeated. More than likely it was bad accuracy. Saying the 30 cal carbine can't penetrate is like saying the 357 cant penetrate

  @Don Ward That's B.S. It's superior to the "AP" tokarev round and even the .357 sig.

  @Rich Guy Why "AP" in quotes? Going purely by energy, then yes the 30 carbine has about as much energy as hot 357 loads while the Tokarev is a bit behind (energy like a lighter .357).
  Still, I would say that the Tokarev is superior due to being much more practical. I mean, are there any .357 or .30 carbine SMGs with 70 round drums or pistols with 17-20 round magazines?

You'll definitely shoot your eye out with that or is it poke your eye out?
Have fun playing guns this Christmas, Zachary.
