M1 Carbine

The M1 Carbine is an American semi automatic intermediate powered rifle that saw widespread service during WWII. The Carbine was intended as a replacement to rear echelon troops' M1911 pistol, which was rather difficult to aim accurately. In the end, six million of these five pound rifles were manufactured during WWII alone, making the M1 Carbine one of the most numerous weapons of the war.

In game, the M1 Carbine is a rare spawn (although somewhat less rare than the full powered semi automatic rifles) and usually spawns with 4-5 15 round magazines. The iron sights are below average - focusing on target can be difficult both at close and long ranges. To help with accuracy and ease of use, either the PU or PSO-1 scopes can be mounted. The recoil pattern is quite erratic and many times it is difficult to be able to score multiple successive hits on a target, hip firing is no better (perhaps even worse). The damage of the M1 Carbine is also the lowest of any of the primary weapons in game and it does not receive a "stopping power" stat that would help to offset it. Overall, the M1 Carbine is one of the worst weapons in the game and should be avoided unless you have no other choice but to use it. Like every weapon, it is workable, but vs most opponents you will be at a large disadvantage.
