FWIW
Qualified with the carbine every time out to 300 yds. on the standard M-1 target with 20 inch bull. That's about min of man. Once over in Germany I had just aced the course the Exec officer asked if would mind working with a few people on the carbine.I said sure not realizing at the time he was also the mess officer. He pointed down to the far end of the line and said "those cooks". Well, I told the ones who had failed to meet me here after breakfast. One of them started bawl-bagging so I told them since we had no lights we would be here until dark and then day after tomorrow if need be.
The next day only one had to re-shoot a second time. They just needed some guidance and help.
