That is why Patton carried revolvers. The Colt was good only if you shot at point blank range. It actually lasted a long time until the military wised up and ditched it. The weapon that won the war was the M-1 Garand. The first time I shot one I said I want one. Dead on balls accurate and it let you know when you were out of ammo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYN6XZh0pH8
