Without going into endless detail, here are some of the main things to look out for, between early and late production M1 carbines. First off, at a time when most military carbines were just shorter-barreled versions of full-power military bolt-action rifles, the M1 Carbine was semi-automatic and chambered in mild mannered .30 Carbine (ballistically similar to the .357 Magnum pistol cartridge). The 30-round magazines introduced for use with the selective-fire M2 carbine would not be reliably retained by the magazine catch made for the original M1 carbine which was designed to retain a 15-round magazine, so the much heavier (when loaded) 30-round magazine would not be properly seated in the M1 carbine magazine well.

[5] The M2 carbine was logistically compatible with the millions of M1 carbines in U.S. service, and offered longer range, better accuracy and better penetration than (pistol caliber) submachine guns like the M1 Thompsons and M3 Grease Guns.

By the Korean War, the select fire M2 carbine had largely replaced the submachine-gun in U.S. service[42] and was the most widely used carbine variant.
