Wasn't the mis-reputation due to soldiers firing the M2 variant on full-auto at targets way outside of effective range, causing most, if not all their shots, to just outright miss?

The M1A1's ammo had problems in the cold, misfiring and poorly firing in bad climatic conditions. Eventually an entire new production run of ammo (and upgrades for existing M1A1s to prevent them from jamming in the extreme cold) was done and much of the gun's problems were addressed, but the bad reputation lived on.

I think the main problem for the carbine in Korea is that in the hellish winter the .30 carbine rounds didn't have enough power to penetrate the thick winter clothing of chinese soldiers. Part of that can be traced to the lack of a pointed spitzer bullet '.30 carbine is round nosed like handgun ammunition' and the other part is they weren't as hotly loaded as 30-06 or the .45 acp.

Er. No. Frozen clothing doesn't provide anywhere near enough protection against 30 carbine. 30 carbine hits like a 357 magnum at the muzzle at a range of 200 yards.

Alright, this marks the end of pool translation spree. I'll go back to ship construction.
Feel free to fix any bugs you see.

Thanks again. Just a heads up, theres a whole lot more on the way if you plan on translating those as well.
