I love those. A Korean War vet told me they don’t have much stopping power though. Just repeating what he said. I don’t know. I kept one in a shop once where we were all expected to be armed. Love them.

Well, it’s chambered in .308 and a 185 grain ought to put down everything but a blue whale...

You may want to check with your friend and ensure he was not talking about the M1 carbine, which is/was a notorious pipsqueak.

The M1A shown in that post shoots the .308 Win/7.62 NATO, only a shade less powerful than the 30-06 the GIs carried in Korea. Never heard any complaints about the M1 stopping anyone.
