(nor is either very related with anything in the m1 family of tanks).
Or M1 Scout Car, M1 howitzers, M1 8 and 4,5 inch heavy guns, M1 mortar, M1 bayonet, M1 aircraft guns, M1 motorcycle, three different M1 artillery tractors, M1 crane, various M1 trucks and trailers, M1 anti-tank guns, M1 flamethrower, M1 Bazooka, M1 helmet, M1 whatever. Welcome to designation hell of US Armed Forces. Apparently they couldn't decide what was supposed to be most important and hold the first number, eh.
The carbine was also a good weapon, while not capable as a rifle, it was very small and handy, particularly the later improvements of select fire and a ir night scope.
IIRC, it was actually more liked than the Garand, for being light and pretty capable of killing Germans, even if lacking in stopping power (Soldiers reported that Germans and Japanese alike had tendency to keep going despite being shoot, multiple times) and there was actually more of it at the end of war IIRC.

Why do you want to know? Ore represent mining effort, so we probably have it.
I'm going to quote a book I've read once (Polish one, so I translate it by myself really)...
Quote
- Don't you know that using bullets that explode after hitting the body is forbidden? – he could not stand it. – Why are you cutting bullets on the cross?!
Mielczarek slowly raised his head from above the vice.
- Well, I cut it like that because I'm a Christian, Sir – he replied calmly. – I belive in God, and cross his sign is.
Also, if we want real bad bullets, we should partially fill the hollow space with mercury. Upon hitting the body it essentially explodes, and mercury is poinsonous so if the enemy somehow manages to not die from thousands of small pieces of steel in him, he's going to have some poisoning.

I still vote for RAP tho.

Guys, NO, STOP, DAMNIT.
WE DO NOT USE GASES TO KILL PEOPLE, OR THE WHOLE WORLD WILL COME AT OUR ASSES BECAUSE THEY KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE HOW BAD THEY ARE.
If the Moskurgs do it, then fine, but let's not start it.

Also, I asked if we're Christian (Orthodox maybe?) and if we have lots of mercury.

Medvedev isn't happy for Konstantin stealing his surname.
No, it was the Medvedev who stole Konstantin surname.

Rockets are cooler than hollow points.
Also, is our country Christian? Do we have lots of mercury?
hmm... anyone interested in designing chemical weapons? we could push back the enemy absurdly quick if we do.
Cannot stress out how bad this idea is. There's a reason why Germans during WW2 didin't use those.

While you wait for Konstantin The Bear killing dirty Moskurgs...
If it isin't clear, this is meant to be a joke. If you don't know who the guy is, you have poor face recognition or forgot to check the url.

Coulda sworn there was a carbine rifle that fired a smaller round used in the pacific theater later during World War Two.
M1.
There was M1 Garand, the rifle and M1 Carbine, the carbine. It was also used in Europe.

You know what, if we're going to try to hold the artillery gap, why not just mod our arty to use a screw breech and a split tail carriage? This should up firerate and accuracy by a lot.
Range > accuracy/firerate. Also, afaik, we're using a bolt-action artillery (hue) so if we wanted a screw breech we would be better making a new gun anyway.

How's about with the more modern semiautomatic rifles?
I can't remember exactly what the name of the German rifle was but I believe the Russians used the SVT and the Americans had the M1 Garande and (M14?) carbine, I do not recall if/what the British used either
G41 (shitty semi-auto) and G43 (good semi-auto, but not really common). British didin't used semi-autos AFAIK, but their Lee Enfields were damn fast for a bolt action rifles.
M14 wasn't used in WW2. Russians had also SKS used in really small numbers, which was basically the best semi-auto during that time.

I'm actually dubious we can do RAP as a revision though, so I'm sticking to Heat/fix our shaped charges to fly better.
We already have similar technology, as our mortars are essentially this.

If you do peek in to the other thread before your side is finished, you shouldn't post in yours or post even, lets keep it clean guys, and leave the *espionage* to the spies.
Both sides would lose most of their players, hehe.
Hopefully just you.
I don't think so actually, it's a design game, and this one is doing almost unprecedentedly well.
Honestly, I think the only thing that would change is that people'd stop blatantly intruding in the thread.
Do you seriously think that if someone is already doing it with malicious intent (not that I say anyone around here is doing that), it would stop them at all?
But yeah, we could agree that we should STOP BEING SPIES instead of STOP USING THE KNOWLEDGE (though, if we made something that would work well against the other side new design by accident, we would still be considered cheaters).

The problem is that that depends on our artillery, which in itself is pretty much obsolete, having a far lower firerate than their larger cannons.

In addition, self propulsion lowers the useable payload.
Range > firepower/rate of fire.
Also, that doesn't mean we have to scrap our previous ammo, and when we make new artillery we will have good projectile tech ready.
Fucking ninjas and WARNING NEW REPLY.

It dates from when he changed the economy from "fiat currency" to ronpaulonomics with infinite metals.
Dunno, if it's a change from last f2p galaxy (I only got into it a hour or two before he closed it, my fucking luck) or p2p ones, I had no idea about it.
