    It would be more accurate if the total environment was frozen, there is so much more to this than how it was presented.

    It would be more accurate if ammo was frozen too and increase the distance.

    There are as previously stated lots of problems with his testing methodology. If the enemy soldiers clothing was already frozen I would think he had other problems other than being shot most likely frost bite and hypothermia at least. My understanding of the issue is that it related to the thick padded or quilted uniform worn by the Chinese and not frozen clothing and the fact that the m-1 carbine was never intended as a main battle rifle.
