The m1 carbine needs a ROF buff, nothing huge, just like 360 - 380rpm base (or even an rpm upgrade at the very least since every other semi auto gets one except the m1 carbine), to be more competitive with the Type Otsu and even BR III rifles to an extent. The same also applies to the VG 1-5, as it’s in the same boat as well, except questionably worse being BR III.
The armaguerra mod 39 could also do with a buff, with like 30 - 50% less horizontal recoil (it makes the gun almost impossible to use). And while these buffs may not be huge or vastly game changing, they are needed and I feel shouldn’t upset the game balance a lot. It’s about time BR II/III semi auto carbines get the love they deserve.

M1 Carbine is fine, only the new powercreep Federov Rifle is better than it

I sort of have to disagree. The armaguerra and type hei (more so armaguerra) are terrible guns. Everyone agrees on that. However, I am able to score more kills off them than the M1 carbine.
Everyone claims the advantage with the M1 carbine is the magazine size, but it doesn’t mean much if you can’t kill anyone with it before dying. Like in what world can I not even down anyone at point blank with it in one shot. The M1 seriously needs a damage buff, even if just the base stats are the upgraded stats.
Also on another note, the VG1-5 has the same fire rate and basically damage, however, it feels like it fires much faster and hits harder at range. And the M1 just feels sluggish. I don’t if these issues are because I don’t own a proper gaming setup or not, but either way it shouldn’t feel like a pain in the ass to use a gun that was in real life meant to out do any other gun at close range.
