Cheapest WW2 Gun To Fire?

The video discusses five World War II firearms and evaluates them for survival scenarios. The speaker dismisses the Luger and 1911 pistols due to reliability and stopping power concerns, respectively. For long guns, the M1 Garand is deemed too heavy and its .30-06 caliber too destructive for small game. The Mosin-Nagant is also considered. Ultimately, the M1 Carbine in .30 Carbine is chosen for its capacity, compact size, and accuracy.
