This review compares the luxurious M30 Luftwaffe Drilling with the utilitarian US M6 Survival Rifle. The M30, a high-quality Sauer & Sohn drilling with two 12-gauge shotgun barrels and a 9.3x74R rifle barrel, was designed for aircrews. In contrast, the post-war M6 is a simpler, cheaper over-under rifle/shotgun in .22 Hornet and .410 bore, issued to strategic bomber crews, featuring integrated ammo storage and a squeeze-bar trigger.
