The carbine is what it is. It is not in the same league as a 16" .223 carbine, or the AK, but with JHPs or SPs is pretty close to a long barreled .357. If you need a light weight home/shtf rifle for w/in 200yards, I would not feel underwhelmed. With a decent folder, you're very competitive with the AK in a compact, hi-cap package.
FYI: Given the experience of various LE agencies in the 60s and 70s, backed by modern ballistic testing, the stories of the "ineffectiveness" of the .30 carbine round, in Korea, has to be put more to bad shooting, and taking shots beyond the effective range, rather than a real ballistic lacking.
