it had been chambered for a modified 357 magnum round?
I think the 357 magnum had been invented by the time of the M1 Carbine, hadnt it?
If so, why not make essentially an unrimmed version of it, and then build the carbine around that?
Wouldnt this have had basically the same exterior ballistics, and better terminal ballistics than the 30 carbine round?
Why did the army specify 30 caliber bullets for the carbine?
