Finding 30 carbine ammo is a challenge for many gun owners. It’s often difficult to find in a local gun store, and military surplus ammo can be even harder to locate. Fortunately, there are ways to find this ammunition without having to go through a lot of trouble.
What Is a 30 Carbine Round?
The 7.62 x 33mm round is the cartridge that was used in the M1 Carbine, a light rifle that was introduced in the 1940s. It was designed as a replacement for the M1 Garand rifle, which was too cumbersome to carry and fire effectively in combat.
During the Second World War, the United States Army needed a new lightweight weapon that could be carried by support troops. The M1 Garand, a heavy and bulky long gun, was not only ineffective in the field, it also got in the way of soldiers. The new lightweight carbine was to be half as heavy and ten inches shorter than the M1 Garand, while still being powerful enough to shoot at distances of 300 yards or more.
It was originally manufactured by Winchester, but a number of other manufacturers were contracted to produce the round. Eventually, it became the most popular small arm in the U.S., and remains so today.
The round’s name comes from the fact that it is 7.62 mm in diameter, which is about as large as a.30 caliber bullet is when fired from a rifle with an 18-inch barrel. The round can reach a muzzle velocity of 2,000 feet per second, which is about as fast as a.357 Magnum bullet can be fired from a carbine with an 18-inch barrel.
This means that it can penetrate up to six inches when shot from an 18-inch barrel, which is a significant amount of damage. It is also relatively accurate when shot from a range of up to 600 yards, and has a high muzzle energy that makes it effective in close quarters.
