"Weapons Expert" surprised by 30 carbine performance

[browningautorifle]

One day he had a heated argument with a Vietnamese customer.

I wonder what the gist of that was/could have been? Considering the Vietnamese has tons of carbines too and must have used them as long as anyone else...

a Frenchman who served in the FFL. Said he carried one the whole time he was in Algeria.

Would that have been an M1A1? I think so...from what I can gather.
