Why did they use M1 carbines when the XM177 was available?

it wasn't, and the South Vietnam troops the green berets were leading also used the m1 carbines so sharing ammo was a bonus

Green Berets operated with ARVN troops who had M1 Carbines.

Because we had a fuckton of M1 carbines.

Can someone describe the lethality of rifle rounds compared to pistol rounds in close quarters? Say, within the confines of a typical home?
I'm trying to decide what to reach for in case of home invasion.

Rifle rounds will over penetrate, go through your wall, and kill your neighbor, pistol rounds won't.

>>35063579
Except many times where the opposite is true
>>
>>35063495
Always go with the rifle.
More ammo, more power, easier to shoot accurately and fast at close range than with a pistol.
Shotgun is even better.

What's going on /k/?
I was wondering if there are any anons out here tonight that own indoor public ranges that allow suppressors.
I went to my local indoor range and the one staff member was almost being autistic when telling me that they want to see the tax stamp as well as to double check the serial numbers and make sure its registered to you.
WTF? why being so fucking anal about it? If you got something to cut the noise a little and the staff knows you are not some fuck up off the street, why should they care if you got something to cut the noise down a little.

Suppressors have a reputation of overheating (sometimes to the point of failure).
If the suppressor is improperly mounted, I suppose it could send the bullet astray.

How come a shit poor country like north korea can put up schools and produce smart enough people to make atomic bombs, missile engines etc etc and equally shit poor countries or wealthier countries in SA and Africa can not?

Culture and history. Even junglenigger Asians like flips and gooks had some form of formal education as a communal village school or something prior to colonialism, the Korean peninsula has had public schooling for ~1500 years. Africa on the other hand has only a history of raping and pillaging.

Because it's incredibly expensive and they don't feel like it's necessary to their survival.

For something that won't be exposed to very harsh conditions yeah it's pretty gud.

Its a gun alot of people clearly want, which is obvious by the fact people are willing to pay more for it than im willing to pay for a car. So why hasnt someone made a copy of it for the civilian market yet? I feel like it would be a well selling gun here in the US.

People are willing to pay well for a genuine SVD but not for a shitty semi auto rifle when there are a lot of better options on the market.

Kalashnikov does make one for civilian market, it's called 'Tigr': https://kalashnikov.com/product/firearms/civilian/tiger-05.html You can buy one here for $1000 and I think it's a cheapest option if one wants a 'marksman-ish' hunting rifle.
So call that fucking cheeto you're elected and tell him to lift the sanctions, I really want a decent M16A2 clone once I'm eligible to apply for a permit.
