-At least 793,994 M1 and M2 carbines were given to the [[South Vietnamese]] and were widely used throughout the [[Vietnam War]]. A number were captured during the war by [[Việt Cộng]], with some made compact by shortening the barrel and/or stock. "While the carbine's lighter weight and high rate of fire made it an excellent weapon for small-statured Asians, these guns lacked sufficient hitting power and penetration, and they were eventually outclassed by the [[AK-47]] assault rifle." The M1/M2/M3 carbines were the most heavily produced family of U.S. military weapons for several decades. They were used by every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
+'''M2 Carbine''' is the U.S. selective-fire variant of the [[M1 Carbine]], chambered for the .30 Carbine cartridge. It can fire in both semi-automatic and fully automatic modes and uses detachable box magazines, commonly 15- or 30-round types. It is best known for giving the lightweight carbine family a higher volume of fire, and for extensive distribution to South Vietnamese forces during the Vietnam War era.
-<gallery mode="packed" heights="400px">
+In Vietnam, M1 and M2 carbines were issued early to American advisors and later to a wide range of U.S. and allied forces, especially the [[South Vietnamese]], where the carbine’s light weight and controllability were valued. As the conflict progressed, carbines were increasingly replaced in front-line U.S. roles by newer rifles such as the [[M16]], but they remained widely used by ARVN and other allied units, and large numbers were captured and redistributed by the [[Việt Cộng]]. By the later years of the war, the .30 Carbine cartridge’s limited range, barrier penetration, and terminal effect compared with full-power rifles and newer assault rifles contributed to the M2 being seen as outclassed in many combat situations.

	The M2 carbine is the selective-fire version of the [[M1 carbine]], capable of firing in both semi-automatic and full-automatic. Categorizing the M1 carbine series has been the subject of much debate. Although commonly compared to the later German [[StG 44]] and Russian [[AK-47]], the M1 and M2 carbines are under-powered and outclassed. Instead, the carbine falls somewhere between the submachine gun and assault rifle and could be called a precursor of the personal defense weapon since it fulfilled a similar role.
