I would take an old Type 3 AK47 over the M1 Carbine for combat any day. It's heavier, but it has way more range and far better reliability.
The M1 Carbine is good at close ranges, but if you're a grunt in a war, you can't always count on close range engagements.

>Johnson 1941 rifle and LMG.
Those were used by the Paramarines in the Pacific though, and they thought they were pretty good.

>Hyde 1944.
Convince me.

>Bongs had some great stuff in WW1 and interwar that could have done well too like the Farquah-Hill rifle and LMG.
I can think of far better concepts than what the Farquah-Hill was going for.
