|quotetext=This handy firearm was made to be more stable than a [[Colt M1911A1|M1911]] but not recoil as much as a [[M1 Garand]]. Lightweight yet light-recoiling, handy yet stable, the M1 Carbine was designed to be pleasant to shoot and help the user put holes on the target. The rifle and ammunition are relatively inexpensive, yet [[.30 Carbine]] remains relatively potent, especially out of this 18 inch barrel. In other words, the M1 Carbine can pull the double duty of being useful for both training AND fighting. A must-buy for semi-automatic rifle shooters on a budget.
