Garand & Carbine
The .30 M1 Garand and the .30 M1 Carbine are entirely different weapons.
The Garand is a "full size" semi-auto rifle, 42 inches long and weighing over 9 pounds. It was adopted by the military in 1936 to replace the 1903 Springfield rifle. It utilizes an 8-round clip of 30/06 ammunition.
The M1 Carbine is shorter and lighter...about 6.5 pounds...and uses a 15-round or a 30-round magazine. The M1 Carbine cartridge is a straight-sided rimless cartridge of about the same power as a .357 Magnum pistol cartridge.

Mike....not sure what you mean by "red zone". Never heard that term before. You'll have to elaborate a little.
