m1 carbine

[dougspair]

I had one of these back in about 1970, paid $25 for it, sold it a few years later for $40, no clue what it's worth now. It was made by Alpine. During WW2, foot troops usually carried the larger M1 Garand, the squad leaders often got the M1Carbines, asin the old "Combat" with the late Vic Morrow.

[brady0309]

That's not an original. It's a replica or a knock off

[hound12314]

@brady0309 there is no knock off m1 carbine. if its a carbine its a carbine. during ww2 there was well over 30 manufacturers of the m1 carbine. so what is a knock off when there is no 1st m1 carbine? and for your information mine is a winchester. the best of the best m1 carbines.

[emeraldtrianglenorte]

@hound12314 very very true. many guns are licensed to be made at many different eras by tons of different manufacturer's. most ''foreign'' guns in the us, are made by american companies, just licensed to be made by them, same with american guns in other countries.

[DJonX7]

@hound123just a guy who doesnt understand. lol

[Searcheur]

this gun was made by a prisoner

[usafisasome]

do you have a .30 caliber carbine or 45 carbine

[hound12314]

@usafisasome they dont make a 45 cal. m1. Its a .30.

[iamjust2stone]

not to bad, most i seen cant even hold one right. m1 carbine is one of the sweetest rifle there are that the military put out, m14 awesome too

[JFSMotherland]

My Uncle just bought one cant wait to get to the range

[lalablablaification]

I thought this was a pea shooter until it malfunctioned and went full auto on me, then the only PEE shooter was in my pants.

[JaredRp]

Lol tagged a few squirrels with mine xD fun gun

[kullas924]

dam the cartridge for that is a psitol round so bad

[kullas924]

30 30 right like dislike opnion

[daltonr17]

.308? or 30-06?

[RENOGUY777]

@daltonr17 It fires a .30. --__--

[cmasailor]

@daltonr17 the caliber is .308 inches, the cartridge is "30 Carbine". the 308Winchester and .30cal-of-year-1906(30-06) are different cartridges try wikipedia for more detailed info if you like :) Cheers bud, they all shoot a projectile of the same diameter, called "Caliber," and the cases and weights of the projectiles differ in the cartridges. fun stuff huh :)

[huntingsurvival]

such a beautiful rifle.



[MRWALKER500000]

the SAS rumour that if you have a very thick layer of clothing, it will stop the .30 ball at certain ranges. But if your in the jungle, the enemy will not be wearing a leather jacket

[MRWALKER500000]

@MRWALKER500000 FYI, great gun

[THPDCF]

For all u fuck tards out there... it's a MAGAZINE not a clip.. a clip is a thin metal thing that hold bullets wich u have to load on top of the rifle

[crazyreal18]

pero porque el cargador es mas pequeño ?? es mio es de capacidad de 25 balas ?? ese es como de 10????

[crazyreal18]

yo tengo esa arma y la amoooo la presicion es exelente y fue una especialista en combate de la segunda guerra mundial .......... i love m1

[katesdad0]

Any of you arm chair experts wanna let some one pop one off on you just to prove how underpowered the 30 cal was? Nope, didn't think so.

[katesdad0]

Oh for Crix sakes, shut the fork up about clips, magazines etc. Who really gives a shit?

[mrkillababa123]

thats a really nice gun!!! good condition i have seen some that are just beat to hell

[Heiryuu]

clip holding not something i would do but i haven't fired to many guns so i don't know the disadvantages or advantages doing that has.

[oldschoolgreentube]

Not made specifically for paratroopers.Were made to replace pistols generally carried by officers,remfs,machine gunners, mortormen anyone whose primary job was not pulling the trigger on the Garand.Paratroopers deployed with Garand's, Thompsons, and carbines. So did cannon cockers and tankers. So did, clerks, jerks and spoons. In the Infantry, officers and nco's were the main recipients but not always. 30 carbine has no where near the power of 30-06.Not even close.

[machineguntongue]

Or maybe the carbine uses a real magazine. I just started learning about firearms and so many details.

But the worst is when people call pistol magazines clips. Like in a Glock. Too many relying on rap lyrics over real engineering facts! Bugs me too. But I am still learning too. And encourage anybody to learn proper firearm terms and history.

[oldschoolgreentube]

@machineguntongue what about lever actions like a winchester 94? They have a permanently fixed tubular magazine. How about a bolt action like a Remington 700? They have an internal box magazine. The word magazine has nothing to do with whether or not its detachable it just means where the rounds are stored. A clip usually refers to that device which holds the bullets prior to loading ie a stripper clip or in the case of an M1 Garand while they are in the magazine ie en bloc clip.

[oldschoolgreentube]

You could make the case that because a pistol magazine is completely inserted in the magazine well, like an en bloc clip and it holds the rounds like a stripper clip it could be called a clip. I know many professional soldiers and police officers who use the term interchangeably with regards to pistol mags.

[machineguntongue]

I think the M1 does use a 8 round clip. Cartridge clip. No detachable magazine.

But most people mistake stripper clips, like used in SKS's and Moisin Nagant's, for magazines and vice versa for modern rifles, like an AR15's and AK47/74's. Those do use magazines.

[Gothmogable]

This gun was ment to replace the M1 Garand in WWII. Yet somehow Americans at the time still called the M1 Garand the rifle that won WWII haha

[ArmyRanger72]

@Gothmogable because its f**ng amazing.

[renno103]

Frenchies loved this thing

[papadimitriouapostol]

you retards!! stop taking movies as realistic cronicles!!! this was designed as a defence weapon to equip officers alltillery men etc. and it was not desingent to kill but to provide much more accurate fire to them

[KyleSurette13]

@dll1958 Why? The topic is about guns, not grammar. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[Buckskinhorizon]

@bulltinyurass they made civilian versions with a heat guard, wich is whats covering the barrel.

[bulletinyurass]

thats even not an m1 carbine, look at the holes in the barrel.

[ikillyouhahahalameo]

@bulletinyurass Just like you're not a retard.

[hound12314]

@ikillyouhahahalameo ohh yeah he's a fucking retard.

[bulletinyurass]

the child rifle

[ALLMusicEqualsLyfe]

Pretty weird to know this gun was designed for both Full Auto and Semi-auto. Hooray for the M1!

[hound12314]

the m1 carbine was not built for all out firefights. infact during its use in the u.s. armed forces you had to be an artillary man, officer or non combatant to hold one. i dont care what saveing privat ryan says. it was not built for offense but more for a light wheight defensive weapon. and what people dont understand is that it might not move fast but the projectile really is bigger than a grand

[Panzervagon]

@hound12314 You silly willy, Paratroopers used the m1 carbine all the time because of it's light weight, and the round gave it excellent punching power, it does a ridiculous amount of tissue damage.

[31173x]

@hound12314 Actually Officers NCO's and Paratroopers used them.

[theMilkShakeMan100]

@31173x some paratrooper, mostly NCO's

[themoocrew1]

@31173x mortor crews did aswell because it was lightweight.

[15Sebastiannn]

@31173x Rarely..

[BefuddledBumpkin]

@15Sebastiannn not rarely really. Talked to a korean war vet who actually used both that and the Garand. Granted that was Korea, but I can venture to guess that there was little variance in the personnel who were issued the weapon.

[15Sebastiannn]

@BefuddledBumpkin I meant in ww2.

[BefuddledBumpkin]

@15Sebastiannn Doesn't matter. They were originally issued to cabbies and artillarymen but they soon became very popular with standard infantrymen. Sorry that my anecdote wasn't convincing for you.

[imzchry]

@31173x Yes your correct mainly the Pathfinders used them but many paratroopers had mixed equipment drops do to inexperience in mass drops so you are completely correct.

[mgcarmydude]

@31173x no infantry men(Pvt.-NCO) used them as well and the paratroopers used the m1a1 carbine with the folding stock

[hatesthecoldshoulder]

@hound12314 didnt paratroopers also carry this weapon??

[kurnellampdwarf]

@hatesthecoldshoulder They did.

[SSSDiaz7]

@hound12314 The projectile as you mention for the ammo fired out of an M1 carbine is in fact lighter than a standard .30-06 round in terms of bullet grain weight. While they are very similiar in caliber in 7.62, the .30 carbine bullet averaged a little over 100 grains, while the .30-06 was about a 150gr spitzer bullet.

[ArmyRanger72]

@hound12314 its not bigger its in a acp round if anything its smaller.

[tellyman6688500]

@hound12314 it was used frequently by normal paratroopers from the Easy-Company 82,101 airborne. that was a normal rifle-company. dont misunderstand anything, im from norway, hard for me to know the exact words. dont say that i have never fired a real gun or just play call of duty. i do fire real ones often, but i have no video of it.

[DeadontheRunway]

@hound12314 umm dumb ass they were made for Paratroopers...they were light compact and the caliber size and clip were small enough to have the troopers carry more ammo and other equipment...yes other outfits and branches uses them but they were primary made for Paratroopers....as for the ammo NO BUT HELL NO They used a .30 caliber carbine round which was a smaller projectile but with the punch (due to more powder) of a .30 caliber round the Garand used, so read up on something before showing off

[DeadontheRunway]

@hound12314 Hey dumb ass they were made for Paratroopers, they were light compact and the caliber size and clip were small enough to have the troopers carry more ammo and other equipment...yes other outfits and branches uses them but they were primary made for Paratroopers....as for the ammo NO BUT HELL NO They used a .30 caliber carbine round which was a smaller projectile but with the punch (due to more powder) of a .30 caliber round the Garand used, so read up on something before showing off

[kj4ilk]

@hound12314 and to add it usally jamed like mine dose

[hater195]

@hound12314 so its bigger than a 30-06?

[Blazenwave]

@hound12314 You're right, it was used by guys for self defense. Non-infantry soldiers used to hold one just in case they get ambushed by someone. It was made to replace the 1911.

[imaddictedtowow112]

@Blazenwave your dumb.

This gun was used by medic and paratroopers hence its lightweight.

They wouldnt replace a sidearm with a rifle

Go learn your fact.

[TheKodiak72]

@hound12314 very true words.. but how is it bigger? their both .30cal rounds

[sam9116]

@TheKodiak72 one is shorter, u notice?

one is 30-06, one is.30 carbine, go search a picture of both and compare

[TheKodiak72]

@sam9116 u cant go by pictures. they are both 30cal rounds.. What grains are the bullets.. but guessing by the response.. go look at a photo. u wouldnt of done that research?

[TheKodiak72]

well your 'picture' idea fails. usual 30 carbine grains.. 110, usual 30-06 180 grains. then going by dimensions 30 carbine is 7.62×33mm, 30-06 is 7.62×63mm. so the 30-06 not only has a bigger grain bullet. also has more powder behind it..

do your research..

[reefy888]

@hound12314 i always thought it was used for paratroopers

[MrCommunismftw]

@hound12314 Yeah you're right, the Carbine was devised because the Garand was too big and awkward to carry for artillery crewmen with all their other equipment.

[Longway2fall]

@hound12314 Ahem, while the general gist of your comment is correct, factually you are not right. The m1 carbine is available with a folding stock, which is the paratrooper version. I dare you to tell me paratroopers are not an offensive force...

[blackwolf721able]

@hound12314 this is bigger then a 306.? no 30.<306. you need to learn your decimals bro, the m1 garand has a way bigger projectile in all aspects. the the m1a1 carbine shooting a 30. cal carbine and the m1 garand shooting a 306.

[WatchingNotLearning]

@hound12314 Are you fucking retarded? the GARAND (not grand) is a 30-06 which is much bigger than the carbines round which is only .30 caliber so you get your facts straight before calling someone out you fucktard.

[himmler251]

@hound12314 actually the M1 carbine and her fully auto sister the M2 Were developed to replace the Garand, Thompson, AND THE 1911 .45, yes Arty, Officers, and rear line troops were issued them BUT the Airborne were issued them because the Garand was too cumbersom in a jum sitiation, no it never replaced it BUT it never fully did. its sad to see ll the reenactors uding carbines all the time and video games with every guy with one

[BefuddledBumpkin]

@hound12314 The projectile is not bigger than the Garand! The bullets have the same diameter at .30, although the cartridge itself was larger for the Garand (.30-06)

[TheJuvelir]

omg the las one is holding the clip :D :D:D:D:D:D retardsssssssss

[hound12314]

@TheJuvelir do you know how many times ''holding the clip" has been talked about on this vid? and guess what everytime the only people who say you cant to it are cod freaks and little kids. ore people who have shot daddys gun. shut the fuck up. and comment on a vid you can really put some knowlage you have into. try autism in the search bar. you know nothing but what tv and cod can tell you. but you ask any firearms teacher or ex. mil and they will tell you the same thing.

[31173x]

@hound12314 Actually if you hold the for of a fire arm by the clip you have an increased risk of jamming.

[ModernMinuteMan]

@TheJuvelir Magazine not clip. n00b.

[darthopal]

@TheJuvelir In some cases, holding the clip actually provides better stability and thus forth greater accuracy. From the WWII Era particularly, the MP40.

[31173x]

@darthopal It may provide stability but will give a higher risk for jamming.

[darthopal]

@31173x Can't win everything right? :D

[Triadhaze]

@TheJuvelir

It's a magazine dumb fuck, not a clip

[theaustralianshooter]

@TheJuvelir its called a magazine not a clip

[Anonymous52550]

@TheJuvelir that's actually a magazine. clips feed magazine. sometimes there are internal mags where you can just take a stripper clip and load the weapon. some time there are en-bloc clips where you insert the whole thing into the weapon. remember, clip and magazine, two completely different things

[YamahaWR200]

@TheJuvelir ha ha you are the RETARD!! It is a magazine not a CLIP!!! ha ha ha :D :D :D :D :D :D RETARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DD

[jaybeebee14]

@TheJuvelir

its not a clip its a magazine btw.

[Retoon41]

@TheJuvelir what's wrong with holding the clip?

[666Thelonewolf]

@Retoon41 hes not gonna hit his target , and his thumb almost went in his eye, all wrong here.

[CoolGuyDaBest]

@TheJuvelir it's called a magazine you malcontent.

[PADSCALE]

anybody can shoot this gun!

[redsamuraidragon]

I have two of these from my grand fathers... one from each...... I love them...

[bandman232]

Iv'e found revolvers that shoot the 30 carbine. Pretty cool.

[boosted28]

Is that an Iver johnson?

[denelbh]

This weapon must be good, here in Brasil BOPE, a special police unit, still use it against heavy armed drug dealers

[omarhohner96]

The thug with the m1 ha

[powerciccio]

this is Garand M1

[fordwillkillyou]

@powerciccio Its a M1 carbine. Grands are much bigger, only hold 8 rounds, and do not have a magazine.

[DiscoDude82]

@fordwillkillyou Garands do have a magazine, however, it is fixed, internal, and clip fed. As far as I know, all repeating firearms except for revolvers have magazines.

[fordwillkillyou]

@DiscoDude82 True, I did mean external magazines. :D

[beautyeh]

@powerciccio Garands load from the top.

[firecrotch6000]

@powerciccio this is definitely not an m1 garand.

[SuperbAirsoft]

m1 carbine- best. rifle. EVER!

[Lucasisgek82]

@SuperbAirsoft Well, wasn't the M1 carbine a rather underpowered weapon. I once heard the story that during the Battle of the Bulge American GI's that were using it were unable to penetrate the heavy winter clothing of the Germans and therefore swapped it for a Garand. Muzzle velocity of the M1 Carbine is about half of that of a Garand or K98. That, combined with the smaller lighter round would make this myth plausible I reckon. Don't know if it is true though, might be just a silly myth.

[SuperbAirsoft]

@Lucasisgek82 i have also heard that story, but i have studied german winter clothing, and non winter clothing alike, and the m1 carbines 110 gr (7.1 g) bullet had well enough power to get through german ww2 clothing. the m1 us helmet couldnt even take the m1 carbine round from around 60-70 meters, wich is made of steel i might add. u might say that isnt correct but it would only go through the shell. if an m1 carbine can penetrate thick steel. i assure you it can penetrate german clothing.

[Lucasisgek82]

@SuperbAirsoft Ok thx, myth busted!

[wcsalome]

every gun is made to kill even low cal. guns. if you take a direct shot to the heart/ head/ vital organs you WILL go down no matter what.

[longshottie]

That .30 Carbine round isn't going to stop someone well...

[TaZ101SAGA]

@longshottie It can still kill somebody no problem.

[STFgraffiti]

is not M1

[fordwillkillyou]

@STFgraffiti Yes it is. Its not a m1 grand, its a m1 carbine.

[anthony2002able]

ill take an m1 grand over an m1 carbine most days .30-6 compared to a .45 the .30-6 would win

[murcielagoowner]

@anthony2002able m1 carbine fires a .30 carbine round not .45 and holds 15 while garand holds 8 the m1 carbine is also several times lighter but it depends on what you need it for

[anthony2002able]

@murcielagoowner revise mine a .30-06 beats a .30

[Biergaertner94]

wow the first kid looks like the male version of Justin Biber :)

[pullnshoot25]

@Biergaertner94 AHAH!

All joking aside, I love the M1 Carbine!

[CRDRStuntas]

All of this fighting started because the kid in the video was just living and showing this nice gun stop fighting if you ask me you all put you countries to shame

[Tobbs96]

I hate my country in the fact that you're basically not allowed to own any other gun than a hunting rifle, and then you have to have a gun license, a hunting license, and a license for the special kind of rifle you have.

Maybe I should pay the US a visit.

[SlimySnail44]

sooo... this is the same thing as a garand right? You know.. cause "M1 garand".. idk just guessing. Is the M1 carbine same as M1 garand? thanks :)

[Datsyukfan123]

@SlimySnail44 No actually, the Garand was more expensive but capable of more stopping power. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

[SlimySnail44]

@Datsyukfan123 ohhh ok

[arnaldodacomando]

@Ferom79 yes it would it would be no different from being under the control of the nazis.

[hound12314]

yeah french is to hard

[mrsandorable]

i gotta side with the kid here. france sucks...the men fight like girls and the women look manly and are hairy... plus they like to bang africans. fuck france. should have let zee germans butt rape you pussies.

[vcbur]

WTF is a 12year old kid doing with a rifle?! In my country they dont even know what a rifle is on that age!!

[hound12314]

@vcbur bitch im 19 motherfucker..your country's lame then.

[PadreFan9228]

@hound12314 You sound 12...

[Thebestever441]

@wiseguymayo And may I remind you Britain is 4 countries.

[jarheadkauai]

there's nothing wrong an MG-42 and I like shooting a Mosin-Nagant and K98, but if you honestly think that german and russian weapons are better than what the US was fielding, you're a fucking idiot.

[SouthPaw087]

I think im the only one that noticed that this gun is shooting an.17 HMR or something like that and it is way to small this thing is a bb gun compared to the .30 cal they really used

[ramb0nat0r]

older? stgw44 was invented in 1944!

[peepster92]

Shit goes hard

[ramb0nat0r]

in WW2 the German Weapons were pretty cooler

[hound12314]

@ramb0nat0r yeah and slower and older and heavy and to nazi

[futurebestseller84]

@hound12314 lol right....the only cool german weapon was the mg 42

[wewonthatistrue]

@hound12314

yeah right. Sturmgewehr 44. All I gotta say.

[brandonroxx]

@hound12314 Slower? May i remind you of the nazi  mg 42 :)

[hound12314]

@brandonroxx ys slower..my i remind you of the quad .50

[billyboyg001]

@hound1 nope. mg42

[billyboyg001]

@hound12314 oh, and g11

[slayersdiciple]

@hound12314 The mg42 was one weapon buddy. A quad 50 is 4 .50 and is a anti aircraft weapon not a weapon designed against infantry. Most of the German weapons were a hell of a lot better. The Stg 44 beats anything the allies had at the time. The Mg42 is still the fastest firing single barreled machine gun of all time. The only things the Americans had that were worth anything was the Garand, the 50 cal and the thompson. Everything else was crap

[MrLickmesack]

@slayersdiciple the bar was crap too ???

[slayersdiciple]

@MrLickmesack In some ways I think. It set the foundation for the squad support weapons of today, but a 20 round magazine is way too little for the job it was designed for

[Kaptk112]

@hound12314

the mg42 shot 1200 rounds per minute the .30 cal 600-800 rpm, not even close to the mg42. the 42 was also lighter than the .30 cal and a lot easier to maintain and change the barrel. the .50 quad was only used as an anti aircraft gun never in a combat zone. It was very unreliable and jammed frequently. I know from shooting a .50 myself. German weapons were well made and designed. also very reliable. many weapons today are based off german weapons. (STG-44) = first assault rifle

[TheWill450]

@Kaptk112 yea they put .50's on tanks so they were in a combat zone.

[Kaptk112]

@TheWill450

they were on top of the tank....once in combat everyone was inside of the tank....would you want to be exposed in the open on top? risking being picked off by snipers? The machine gun used inside tanks was .30 cals. the .50 was on top.

[TheWill450]

@Kaptk112 yes the 50 was on top but most of your body is in the tank and the enemy is more likely to focus on destroying the tank itself than trying to kill the machinegunner.

[Soaker1231]

@TheWill450 not a sniper. Killing the tank commanders was a common tactic.

[TheWill450]

@Soaker1231 tea. i know a little about tanks because my great uncle drove on in WWll through france and all the way to germany.

[zodiacsicario]

@hound12314 you are comparing a squad machinegun to an heavy antiair defense?

[hound12314]

@zodiacsicario the use of the gun wasnt being compared..the speed of the fire was being compared

[LtActionCam]

@hound12314 hound12314 won by default in the international internet argument of 2011 :]

[MrStrontipis]

@hound12314 there is no discussion possible, the germans were more innovative, the invented the mp44, nicknamed the sturmgewher wich is the first assault rifle

[CGibby94]

@hound12314 *cough* you're comparing the alternating fire of four guns at the same time, that just doesn't work. An anti-air weapon should by no means be compared with an automatic squad weapon. The .50 cal fires 450-600 rounds per minute whilst the MG42 can fire 900-1,500 rounds per minute. The MG42 is 25lbs and the .50 is 44lbs, the quad .50 even more so. The .50cal was invented in 1919, the MG42, 1942. If you're gonna talk about guns, make sure you know stuff about them first. :)

[AWohlford97]

@hound12314 ehem... may i remind you of the MOTHER FUCKIN STG 44!!!! all modern russian assault rifles, including the Ak-47, are base off that design. also, too nazi? the Kar 98k is from 1898, not nazi, and germans are not all nazis asshole! racist...........

[evilmuffen117]

@AWohlford97 racist?
