Dad carried an M1, though he had great respect for the BAR.
Bayoneted a Chinaman with his Garand. Earned his Silver Star with Garand and flame-thrower. |

Quote HistoryI'm sorry. That didn't enter service until 1961. I would have picked this if I was going all out.

My Abuelo carried an M2 carbine, and loves it to this day.

I would prefer an M1 rifle or an M1C over a carbine or greasegun for the greater range and also effectiveness in extreme cold.

A garand because when I inevitably run out of ammo i got a big hefty club to hit little brown guys with.

My grandfather used a captured PPSh-41 for as long as he could.
For the kind of close fighting that was common where he served it was devastating and probably better than any Western equivalent at the time. |

I'd prefer the M1C option.
I wonder how many snipers we actually deployed in Korea? I haven't heard of many stories in that regard and I know Army built a lot of M1C receivers but most of them got rebuilt into standard M1's. |

Not the Carbine. In the winter the Chinese wore too much clothing for it to penetrate.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I read somewhere that carbines were less than effective there in Korea where the weather was freezing ass cold and the DPR troops were bundled up with layers of clothing. It seems the anemic cartridge in the carbine had a harder time retaining terminal effectiveness after punching through all those layers of clothing. Yes. I read that too. On the internet. Bonjour.

Quote HistoryQuoted: BAR and as many frags as I could carry. And a knife. Mags and frags. And add an M1911A1 to that list. They gonna have to reach me in stages! Start off with a 30rd mag already in the BAR  Start reloading the usual load out  Including the left and right bandos (who came up with LEFT and RIGHT bandoleers???  ) Transition to ALL the frags  I think I would change out a couple frags for a couple Mk15 Willy Petes  Attached FileAs the wave gets closer, out come JMB's masterpiece (offhand cuz that's the way I trained!)  And the last ones get my (freezing) cold steel

My buddy says:
"MG-42 & MP-44/StG-44 with Vampir. Fuck the US Ordance dept for costing thousands of GI lives in Korea by not directly adopting the best small arms available post WW2, that didn't even require licences to produce." |

Knowing our losses were due largely due to being overwhelmed and out of ammo.
M2 with as much ammo as possible. M1c Garand as a sniper only and all normal m1s swapped for carbines or m3s. Unfortunately as mentioned we should have used mg42s and STG44 should have been our adopted rifle after we won in WW2. At least we figured that out by Nam with the m60. |

A belt fed can unleash a lot more hate and discontent than a handful of carbines or submachineguns. |

I voted for the carbine, but the MG42 and STG44 made in Ohio are the actual right answer.
