This review tests the Lage Max31A Mk2 conversion for the MAC-11 A1 in a Pistol Caliber Carbine course. The open-bolt 9mm submachine gun, fed by Suomi drums, proved inefficient for precision shooting due to uncontrollable full-auto bursts. Despite a high authority level, the analysis highlights that semi-automatic fire is superior for this course, with full-auto consuming over 100 rounds and leaving targets standing.
The M1 Carbine, an early archetype of a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC), proves surprisingly effective on a challenging course of fire. Despite its age and iron sights, it successfully navigated steel targets including a dueling tree, a precision Mini-Mo, and a spinning Texas Star. Its lighter weight compared to many modern 9mm PCCs is noted, though its .30 Carbine round offers more power and range.
This video reviews the Hotchkiss Universal SBR in a PCC course of fire. Despite its compact design and historical significance as a paratrooper SMG contender, its fixed, low-profile iron sights proved extremely challenging for precision shooting on MOA targets. The weapon's complex unfolding mechanism and poor sight picture led to a DNF, though it showed surprising effectiveness on moving targets.
This InRangeTV video tests the effectiveness of .50 BMG M2 AP ammunition against hardened AR450 steel plates using a PGM Hecate II rifle. The AP round easily penetrates two stacked 3/8-inch plates, demonstrating immense energy transfer. Standard Ball ammunition fails to penetrate but causes significant damage. The video also provides historical context and discusses modern alternatives.
