The power of intermediate ammunition, such as the M1 carbine, should be stronger than the 9mm and .45 ACP. Currently, there is no big difference in power, so I would like to propose new damage.
For example, the power from 10m to 100m is 9 or 10, and from 100m to 200m is 8.8, and the recoil is not a full-size ammunition, but a carbine, so I think the recoil should be a little milder. And I hope this will be understood by the people who run it.
i belive the only reason it isnt like that, is to keep a certain balance to the game, especially in regards to pistols. but yeah, if they go for a more realistic approach the the colt .45 should have more damage than the 9mm pistols, with a higher recoil, and the carbine should have a lower recoil plus also increased damage.
