The myth that they are underpowered is just that, a myth. I got into it one day with a buddy who insisted he would be better served with a .45. We took an M1 Thompson and my M2 Carbine out to a field and placed an M1 steel pot out at 50 yards. After a burst from each gun, the Tommy merely dented the pot and every carbine round that hit it went clean through.
Nuff' said....
