plan_D said:I like the K98 it's got a great effective range and accuracy. It's also got decent stopping power. The M1 Garand was effective, eight rounds at semi-automatic fire. It was more advanced than the German designs when it came about. In fact, the Germans struggled to match it.
Obviously the StG.44 was the best assault rifle. It was the only one.

The Carbine isn't a SMG so why are you saying you'd rather have a Thompson?
The G43 was designed to defeat the M1 Garand which had been around for years. It was a revolution in wartime weaponary.
The Carbine is 5.56mm, which isn't a "pistol bullet".
The Thompson was hard to control with a definate swing.
The SMLE was the best bolt action rifle but the Semi Automatic was a massive improvement for combat.
In a hand to hand situation the bolt action was not viable, you had one shot and then the only real alternative was to hit them with it.
I prefer the carbine for its magazine capacity and the lack of combat limitations over the M1.
I think all SMG's had pistol bullets
the MP40 was reliable and for an SMG accurate.
For this I almost chose a revolver over the Colt 1911, but the extra capacity won me over.
The M1 Carbine was not a SMG. It had no automatic fire capability!
The PPSh41 wasn't as accurate as the MP40, the MP40 had little barrel lift, even in sustained fire.
