Talk:American military technology during World War II

Removed incorrect information about M1 Carbine and M1 Garand

The section on small arms contained this incorrect sentence:

"As the M1 Carbine was a semi-automatic weapon, it used different ammunition to the M1 rifle."

This sentence is incorrect for a couple of reasons.

1. Both the M1 Carbine and the M1 Garand are semi-automatic weapons.

2. Whether a rifle is automatic, semi-automatic, or any other method of action has no bearing on the ammunition type. .30-06, the round in which the semi-automatic M1 rifle is chambered, has also been used by bolt-action rifles and fully-automatic weapons such as the Browning Automatic Rifle. Furthermore, the .30 Carbine round fired by the M1 Carbine was also used by the weapon's fully-automatic variant, the M2 Carbine.
