Defensive machinegun use anecdote

[formerTexan]

From an interview by Small Arms Review with Dr. Philip Dater, mostly know for his work on suppressors:

Dater: That correspondence started a couple years later. Sid McQueen is the guy who invented the Sidewinder submachine gun. Sid's store was robbed once and he shot both armed robbers, killing one and permanently disabling the other. He used a registered M2 Carbine, firing 15 rounds and he said the reason he only fired 15 was the gun jammed. His family lived in the back and there was no way he was letting them be threatened.

Very long interview, but very interesting if you like learning about suppressors.

. . . I'm surprised he managed to get 15 out of it.

Yeah, those 30 round carbine mags suck.
