You based that on what?

Do you own a Carcano? If so, how often do you shoot? Carcano rounds are almost $1 a piece, you must be going broke with your exhaustive research.

You must understand who the Carcano was designed for, right? Italian conscripts, 17 - 20 year-olds with no firearms experience. It's a battle rifle to be used in the mud, snow, dirt, and desert sands of the Italian colonial territories. It had to be cheap, it had to be easy to use, and it had to work when you needed it too. You can still find Carcanos in African countries today for this reason.

The Carcano was not a finicky weapon. Mostly point and shoot.
