I know we talk about heavy weapons and APC/IFV but what about small arms?
Here is a website about Post WWII Commercially Manufactured M1 Carbines
http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbines.html
I had no idea they were still being produced or after the war so many number were produced
A few examples
From 1962 to 1978, the PLAINFIELD MACHINE CO., INC. of Middlesex, New Jersey made about 112,000. The Iver Johnson Arms Company bought the Company in 1978 and made another 92,000 until 1992.
I always wonder why the weapon was in NATO weapons book.
