M1 Carbine

The M2 Carbine is exactly the same as its predecessor which bears the designation M1, a lightweight rifle in .30 Carbine which is meant for use by rear-echelon troops. However, the M2 includes a selective fire switch, which means it can fire in fully automatic when a soldier finds themselves in a pinch. Because of its niche in Oceanyka (a weapon for tight spaces), the M2 is almost always preferred over its predecessor. Most military historians agree that the M2 Carbine is an early predecessor to American assault rifles such as the M16A1.

Common Attributes - Mechanical

Auto

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.

EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.

  • Point Blank Range - No penalty.
  • Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
  • Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
  • Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
  • Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
  • Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)

         ~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~

  • Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
  • Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)
