Irrelevant because even among trained troops you weren't engaging anyone at longer ranges.
WW2 is the most studies conflict in human history. The M1 carbine fits the engagement envelope and has attributes no other weapon of the entire war has. It's half the weight of the nearest assault rifle competitor and offers significantly more range than a PPS-43.
There's a reason racks of garands and 03s got left on the ground while the Germans grabbed any M1 carbine they could get their hands on and used it post war along with the Austrians.
