there was a jeep to haul around such a clunker and its ammo.He knew the real score. Even in the fiercest fighting ever seen,a guy CARRIES the rifle a LOT more often than he fires it. The 11"CAR 223(using softpoints) has twice the stopping power of the .30 Carbine and ball ammo (which is what Audie and many,many thousands of experienced vets DID favor). With a scope,trigger job and match ammo, the 11" 223 has TWICE the effective range of the .30 Carbine, too.
You won't be against the finest Army the world has ever seen, if shtf, either. 241 kills, in 2 years, every medal for valor the US had to offer, the complete respect of every man that ever served with him, fighting against dug in, battle-hardened Caucasian men, not ignorant sheep herders or rice growers. The .30 Carbine sufficed for that, a gun and load that's 4x as good will suffice for no more than you are going to accomplish,if shtf. The suppressor on the CAR and the .22 unit are ideally-suited to staying undected,and for realistic practice until such a gun is needed. The can makes the 223 every bit as tame as is the "noisy" version of the .22 unit.
