The CMP explains that the M1 Carbine was created primarily to provide noncombat troops with a better defensive weapon than a pistol, submachine gun, and with greater accuracy, range, and cost-effectiveness than full-power infantry rifles. The carbine was easier to fire than the.30-caliber infantry rifles. Officers, NCOs and specialists who were encumbered by weapons, field glasses or radios found the carbine easier to carry. In lieu of the heavier M1 Garand, the M1 Carbine was also issued to tankers, drivers, mortar crews, and others. After a request for a lightweight infantry arm for airborne troops, a folding-stock M1 Carbine was created. “CMP M1 Carbine Matches – Fun with an Easy to Handle RifleCMP M1 Carbine Matches – Growing in Popularity
