Is the Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine any good?

Overall, the Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine acquitted itself well. It was reliable, comfortable and easy to shoot, and quite accurate for 100 yards. This featherlight gun would be very easy to maneuver in and out of a patrol car with its overall length just under 36 inches.

Do automatic guns have recoil?

The first automatic machine guns had recoil-based systems. When you propel a bullet down the barrel, the forward force of the bullet has an opposite force that pushes the gun backward. But in a recoil-based machine gun, moving mechanisms inside the gun absorb some of this recoil force.

Does auto-ordnance still make the M1 Carbine?

Is the M1 Carbine a good self defense weapon?

If you’ve got one that works, I’m sure it’s a fine choice for home-defense. If you’re just looking for a gun that is not an AR-15 — not a modern-looking rifle — that’s easy to use and easy to teach a beginner to use, I would suggest, instead of an M1 Carbine or the Mini-14, the Ruger PC Carbine.
