M-1 Carbine Variant and Baretta P-30 Assault Rifle

Baretta P-30 Assault Rifle

This odd M-1 Carbine variant was inspired by the carbines supplied by the US Government after World War 2 and Soviet experiments with semiautomatic and automatic rifles during that war. The result is basically an M-2 Carbine using a modified Tokarev action instead of the standard M-1/M-2 Carbine Assault Rifle action. An odd feature of this weapon is that no visible parts move during firing; the necessary movements are all internal. The rifle used a virtually standard M-1 Carbine stock, and fired M-1 Carbine ammunition. The Baretta P-30 Assault Rifle had two triggers; the rear trigger fired semiautomatic, unless the front trigger was pulled first (acting as sort of a selector lever).
