TheGunMag: "M1 Carbine the Most Versatile Rifle"

the MAG

We didn't get them when the contract for the others came along, too cheap... We tried other things instead. Took until mid '80's to get them on our SARP and then all the old guys were asking, "Where were these when we WANTED to do this stuff?" Minimi too...

Handled a Tommy gun, felt ill-balanced and awkward to carry. Feeling might improve with more handling but I doubt it. Uzi, FN, AR15 felt well balanced in comparison.

Very near this place where the photo was taken was a tiny vil. Dong Ba Tien??? My trucks came up on a stopped convoy and we had to get out and wait. Up walks a guy with a Thompson with a 50 rd drum magazine and handle up front, just like a Chicago gangster. I asked him if he'd consider a trade or sell it, no chance. I'd take that over the M3 any day. Talk about looking cool. Some kid was selling cold beer, Olympia, so we sat around and drank a few before continuing. Hands down the best personal gun I saw was up in DaNang. An Australian bodyguard for some Aussie general or something. Strac soldier. Looked like he was in a parade. Had a chrome plated PPSH41 with 71 rd drum. How could you top that?
