The Debrief - M1 Carbine Battlefield Mods

When the M1 Carbine (officially the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) began to reach American combat units in late 1942, the handy little rifle quickly gained a reputation as the “soldier’s pet”. 113/c2jPK04/VVy-f-2DPnqdW16cHLL6gzz1tW5DT7xy522hyrN7FnD1n3qgyTW7lCdLW6lZ3k_W90nJKH76bDJfW1WM-tX66g5-5W5yPXcF3Jy_t9W4nDCdY1GKrs3N2Y9v83RFVSyW50_jSK1HphPrW61VrHn1dhNjlW8lLwHC8zGJnrW7RWbl83GvJCpN32c66LZvMymV5tvl75RC17dW19jNL58pQKfVW7zWj5y4S5MnPW138RKs7LsX4LW3rLVZP3x168QW25KRRF6lFFYxVwy8Wy8rfvhzW3Kd8vl7DPVHDW90XcwR5b0vJMVSvh1l57jbQbW2tYYnC1TZgdqW20tKDf1H4ZyMV7TqPy2yxHXpW4nWtZB4MQq33f1jltbj04 [m1-carbine-battlefield-modifications-1600x900](113/c2jPK04/VVy-f-2DPnqdW16cHLL6gzz1tW5DT7xy522hyrN7FnD1-3qgyTW8wLKSR6lZ3ntW7qddYT83sHmwW6WDDdl6X84bBVDDtYs7Vx6LCW1KHmXL96ry-JW1whdR57-lh6tW4H7nXd7bHWj7W3qk0m_1kVqwyW7h3r9L53YcXdW1sR6Vv5gW4DkW3H2p2q57-CzvN2km6WKWQhgvW2XYL7P6824rsVgmZDL6LLwQNW4vwk4J2cX9zPN3RMT84hZymhW7gypxh2t9G1xN2tBQZsz4hVVW6g7Qj25SxJQVN1ccrv0wqvh5W5Nsftw2QhLqJW80X71q3jnjdRW6-Rljy2FvmrYW5YBgZ595pb80W59J8-k5S0f9SW9bcB_g6rpjh9W53gM405ZwcVjW3NRKyQ6njjLzW5VWhmT5fsDN-d9ysnC04) [M1 CARBINE BATTLEFIELD MODS](113/c2jPK04/VVy-f-2DPnqdW16cHLL6gzz1tW5DT7xy522hyrN7FnD1-3qgyTW8wLKSR6lZ3l6W4gGQZR83cRQ_W7VZfBx7Wzqt3VKJMTk4JXtSPW1p9kJL88LtwTW905Ng-5LtcGqW2XSdHt3G0hn9W1gSFhb7Zfv6nN5qTPLhc4ymsW6vTXGT6SY4FyN4PGWDJG977hW1-y3wQ6WBxRZW600_1L5xPlCFW212Rnc7X67tXW5dNHZL2qT56XW5SwJpT6X-zWSW1GNSf92ydBMfW3pPQ7z4vGtVRW1psfrl2_FDH1W33HxMC7cSr3hW5ggJL14B-NXjW4YNY9x3rCT8kW3-LCT_4NC_NKW5sLBGB5SL2TjN4rKCGrnVg1YW9kfJwy3xQBtMW2TzcQd4NblfGW3JX9xC10WXTsW8RmhjN2jyZ5Lf8p38R004) By Tom Laemlein August 8th, 2023 - When the M1 Carbine (officially the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) began to reach American combat units in late 1942, the...

To start us off, Tom Laemlein introduces us to some amazing battlefield modifications to the M1 Carbine. Marines and soldiers relying on the M1 Carbine found ways to improve its performance, including unique bandoliers and machining flash hiders from fired .50-caliber brass.

Next, veteran police trainer Mike Boyle brings decades of experience to the table when he attempts to determine if red dot sights, weaponlights and aiming lasers are necessities for a defensive weapon, or complete internet hype. He comes to an interesting conclusion.

And finally, Dr. Will Dabbs pushes us beyond Mach 2 with his story on the F-4 Phantom II. The supersonic interceptor proved to be a capable fighter and bomber in the hands of Navy, Marine and Air Force pilots throughout Vietnam and the Cold War. America’s allies also put it to good use, helping the plane earn the nickname of “World’s Leading Distributor of MiG Parts.” [Read his article here](113/c2jPK04/VVy-f-2DPnqdW16cHLL6gzz1tW5DT7xy522hyrN7FnD2g3qgyTW95jsWP6lZ3l0W8-ScqX2kLMB-W7t6Lnd3xJrRfW7D1N3P2tv4PsW3JcfnM7R00BpW2txgDz8Qbl1RVKRCsX6Zx7S1W1Fl95Z3f4NCsW7-H3fm6mJYBLW3rLbG36WtDVSW72Wnfq3n0_1FW2rc4qJ4XpLHRW43-SM23q59_3W6LTsvY1wl4FjW1sGnyZ7Wg7k_W7HZwK_4ydWNKW8lGszx3N4K4lW377S8973Cfg-W3BQhHT730Vk5MRTyt9mSX2BW5htHYj7bwwQLW3xcTjg3lPw1LW3gtG_3392WZkW1zS0544kmv4QW3-qLG-1JkrfQW3WSL939kwlk8W58vS7h1fjD2SW6tS0-c8-8MkCW8pHG_380d7Z7VgzgmW1cl79PW3zP66v3Kxd7Gf5T5kW404).
