M1 carbine modification (coverted to fully automatic M2), that actually saw (limited) use in Europe, will be new Golden Order weapon for Allies in Normandy.
Meanwhile M2, that never saw Europe and was used on Pacific in '45 is all around the place.
The point here is that some M1s were modified to have those full-auto capabilities before proper M2 was introduced. And that modification was used in Europe (not in Normandy of course, but let’s forget that for a moment). And it will be rare weapon, available only in BP.
Whereas M2 was never used in Europe, but rather on Pacific in 1945. And it’s standard weapon in Normandy, available for everyone.
The logic behind that choices seems really wierd to me. Why is the rarer weapon in the standard campaign progression and that which would actually somehow fit the setup is in BP?
Was there really thing called m1/m2 carbine? H&G have one and thats only place where I have found any mentioning about it.
AFAIK M1 carbines that was converted to full auto was classified as M2 carbine and gunsmith that made conversion just stamped ‘M2’ marking…
All “conversion manuals” i have seen even says someting like m1 to m2 carbine
Edit: If so called m1/m2 carbine saw limited use in europe, it actually was classified as m2 carbine. So m2 carbine was used in europe
Okay, that name could be my mistake. I saw someone using it before on the forum, so assumed it was used back then. We can call them M2 (converted) and M2 (produced as such) if that would be better.
But the overall point still stands - those two would work better and be more accurate if they were switched, but of course there is no chance for that.
