M1 carbine power & penetration demonstration

This is a video of my M1 carbine easily penetrating through 8 layers of frozen, folded denim, a pressure treated 6x6, and a gallon of water all line up up. The purpose of this video is not only to show the M1's power, but to also finally end the myth that the carbine lacks power and show the M1 has more than enough power and penetration as a serious military rifle. A 110 grain .30 carbine FMJ bullet was used in this test.

This gun is one of the handiest, most underrated guns ever built.

@gmonkey3 Do you even HAVE eyes????? look at it on the jeans where the dark and light part of the jeans meet. See anything at time of impact????? sheesh

[m1shadow]

@gmonkey3 lmao, whats next, you going to say i know you are, but what am I? Dude, i will be the first to admit,.. the quality and long pause in video was due to my 1st camera that can record and my lack of knowledge at the time w movie maker. Now, as far as it looking like i shot it from the side... simply look at the direction the water sprayed! Im not trying to be a di*k, but i have no reason to fabricate the M1's power.. i have plenty of other guns way more powerful.

@m1shadow Dude! What's wrong with you? I was just sayin that it looks like the jug was shot from 'around' the barriers. The wood block didn't even wiggle. I don't care what you shoot a 6x6 block with, it's gonna move. The video is not good. Sorry. I like the M1 carbine, in fact I own two. Just because I doubt your video, you're saying I'd be dumb enough to step in front of one. What? You're nutty. I think you're insecure about your own penis. Mine is just fine.

@gmonkey3 Would you stand in front of one?? NO, i didnt think so. Go buy yourself the biggest gun in the gun store, then go to the shooting range and show it off so you can make yourself look cool and compensate for your small penis

[gmonkey3]

@m1shadow I think you're right. That video would prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the M1 can go through trees and blow up tanks.

@Composer1777 No, you're a dumbass. ( and you smell like feet)

I love the M1 carbine. Definitely the handiest gun I own. I love shooting it.

I've never used it hunting, but I would expect that it works best under 50 yards. Accuracy starts to get a bit iffy past 100 yards -- especially compared to Rem 700, M1a, Springfield, Garand, Mauser, etc.

For hunting, I want to be able to nail the lungs at 200 yards without worry. The carbine is not the gun for this. But I sure love it.

I love the .30 cal. It did its job well and is a joy to shoot today. I also love the folks posting here who understand nothing about weapons and tools. "The proper tool for the proper job". Carbines are not sniper weapons. Short barrels and long ranges are incompatible. The stopping power is unquestioned. No matter what size the round, if you hit the right place, at the right range, the target drops. Carbines are close quarters weapons. 0-300 yards. SWEET!!

@snowdogthewolf Exactly! Maybe with winter approaching, i may try another test in colder conditions at a further distance?? lol Yea, my Grandfather used this gun in the Korean war and loved it! He did admit though, that when it came to raw power, the M1 Garand was much more powerful, and liked the fact the enemies didnt have to be so close to shoot at. I would love to add a Garand to my collection, but price is very steep on them :(

[snowdogthewolf]

@m1shadow, I completely agree.

I have no doubt the accounts of bullets from the M1 Carbine deflected/defeated by DPRK clothing were greatly exaggerated (and misses for the most part). Within 100 yards, the stubby 110gr FMJ would have completely plowed through a malnourished DRPK clad in several frozen wool parkas with consistancy.

I believe the failures came mostly from those engaging the enemy well outside the War Baby's intended operating range (IE 250+ yards) or poorly placed shots.
