Editing M1 carbine (section)

=== Latin America ===
The M1 and M2 carbines were widely used by military, police, and security forces and their opponents during the many guerrilla and civil wars throughout [[Latin America]] until the 1990s, when they were mostly replaced by more modern designs. A notable user was [[Che Guevara]] who used them during the [[Cuban Revolution]] and in [[Bolivia]] where he was executed by a Bolivian soldier armed with an M2 carbine.<ref>{{cite web| title=The Death of Che Guevara: Declassified| publisher=The National Security Archive| url=http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB5/| access-date=2016-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509014128/https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB5/|archive-date= 9 May 2023}}</ref> Guevara's fellow revolutionary [[Camilo Cienfuegos]] also used an M2 carbine that he modified with the pistol grip and foregrip from a [[Thompson submachine gun]]. Cienfuegos' carbine is on display in the [[Museum of the Revolution (Cuba)]].

In [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil, a police battalion named ''[[Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais]]'' (BOPE, or "Special Police Operations Battalion") still uses the M1 carbine.{{Citation needed|reason=No sources were found for such claims|date=January 2020}}
