Gentlemen,
To follow up on my last question. Would you think that the M1 Carbine was about the first weapon to be called in a class "Assault Weapon" before or after it went from semiautomatic to M2 Carbine which could go to full auto. Also going from a 15 round mag. to a 30 round mag. ???

Have fun

Clancy thats a tough one since the carbine fires a less powerful bullet then your average assault rifle. Isn't the 30 cal carbine round similar to the 38special in effect. Whereas assault rifle bmmo is reduced battle rifle rounds having better terminal effects. The M2 carbine might be more akin to a submachinegun then an assault rifle. I'm speaking totally off the cuff here though my expertise is tank related. :D
