Rather get the hi-point 9mm carbine. Much larger round with less kick, plentiful ammo, etc. And it’s half the price. Keep in mind German WW2 rifles were 7 and 8mm.

I had to read that post of your twice before I could believe my eyes. You do realize, don't you, that the 9mm carbine fires pistol ammunition - the same as the old Luger and P-38 and the M9 Beretta - while the other German rounds you mentioned were full-power 7.92mm rifle rounds? Even the anemic little 5.56 is far more powerful and deadly that a carbine firing pistol ammo. Probably not too bad at 25 meters but ridiculous at 100m. Even the much-maligned M1 Carbine was considerably more effective than the 9mm carbines/submachineguns.

You need a little more range time, buddy!
