The .30 caliber M-1 carbine was the go to rifle in WW II for many of the troops.
And with the iron sights on it it was deadly from 200 yards. Put a scope on on a .30 caliber and a
TRAINED shooter could hit a 4 inch circle @ 200 yards 9 out of 10 times. I had a friend in S.E.
Ohio who could hit a deer @ 1/4 mile from his back porch with his deer rifle. The bullet hit the animal
before the sound of the gun shot.
This was a professional hit.
