M1 Carbine facts
While investigating facts about M1 Carbine, I found out little known, but curios details like:
David “Carbine” Williams, who helped invent the M1 Carbine, was a convicted murderer and created innovative gun ideas while in jail. He was convicted of the shooting of a sheriff who busted his illegal moonshine still. He was released after his family argued his inventions could help America.
The man who's designs were used in the creation of the US M1 Carbine created them while serving a 30 year sentence for murder of a deputy sheriff.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about M1 Carbine I managed to collect.
