Inland Manufacturing, LLC is a private entity that is producing reproductions of the M1 carbine and M1A1 paratrooper models that were built by the original Inland Division of General Motors from 1941 to 1945. The new Inland M1 carbines feature many of the same characteristics of the original Inland carbines and are manufactured in the US.
M1 240 mm howitzer; M2 90 mm cannon; M16 110 mm rocket launcher; M59 155 mm field cannon (then designated M1 and M2 long Tom) M101 105 mm howitzer (then designated M2A1 towed) M114 155 mm howitzer (then designated M1A1 towed) M115 203 mm howitzer (then designated M2 towed) Type 38 75 mm field cannon; Type 98 20 mm AA machine cannon; Ordnance BL ...
An improved Hyde-Inland 2 was designated U.S. Submachine gun, Caliber .45, M2 as a substitute standard for the M1 Thompson in April 1942. As Inland's manufacturing capacity became focused on M1 carbine production, the US Army contracted M2 production to Marlin Firearms in July 1942. Marlin began production in May 1943.
Therefore, the M1 carbine is significantly less powerful than the M1 Garand. Another comparison is a .357 Magnum cartridge fired from an 18" rifle barrel, which has a muzzle velocity range from about 1,718–2,092 ft/s (524–638 m/s) with energies at 720–1,215 ft⋅lb f (976–1,647 J) for a 110 gr (7.1 g) bullet at the low end and a 125 gr ...
The Spitfire M1 Carbine originally was advertised as firing a 40-grain (2.6g) bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3050ft/s (930m/s), though hand loaders with careful selection of modern powders and appropriate bullets consistently safely exceed those numbers while remaining within the M1 Carbine's Maximum Pressure rating of 38,500 psi (265 MPa).

T1CAE = 2,000 cartridges of .30 Carbine Ball M1, Grade R, in 50-round cartons packed in a commercial packing box. There were 40 cartons per box. T1CAF = 3,450 cartridges of .30 Carbine Ball M1, Grade R, in 50-round cartons packed in a wooden M1917 ammunition chest. There were 69 cartons per box.
Production was undertaken by General Motors Guide Lamp Division to avoid conflicting priorities with Inland Division production of the M1 carbine. [1] The army designated the weapon the Flare Projector Caliber .45 hence the designation FP-45. This was done to disguise the fact that a pistol was being mass-produced.
