no idea 
but ello anyways sure someone more knowledgeable than I will be along soon 
Welcome to the forums. 
Well, horses for courses, as they say. Some guys on here do have the Marushin M1 Carbine, and love it. It has a good range, but a lower rate of fire than an AEG. If you're talking about the 8mm one, some sites (ridiculously) don't like 8mm guns.
Buy a gun to suit your kit, I'd say. With a name like that, are you going German?
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
I wasn't aware that the Marushin M1 Carbine had any sort of Blowback. Certainly the ones I have seen require you to cock every shot.
The Garand has blowback though...
Welcome aboard. Do you mean the M2 carbine? I would advise getting a cheeper AEG main weapon and a WE colt 1911 to start with. what impression are you going for?
Can't offer any advice about the weapon, but welcome to the forum -
Gas = problems, if your on a budget get a ACM thompson & a ACM mp40, check out RSOV, you should get change out of
Ah yes - I've seen at least 2 other photos of Germans with captured Carbines. I'm not sure what type of unit that is - usually camo gear means Waffen SS, but not always.

Its one of that series of relaly famous posed photos of 'waffen ss assaulting a convoy' nearly every soldier is carrying US kit from the convoy assaulted behore hand and then 're-assaulted' for photos.

Hello BTW .
The whole photo sequence you are refering to was researched for JP Pauluds book the Battle of the Bulge Then and Now . If the bulge is your thing it's worth picking up a copy on ebay for around a tenner.
Welcome jochenpeiper,
Another very good book I'd highly recommend is "The Devils Adjutant: Jochen Peiper, Panzer Leader" by Major General Michael Reynolds.
All the best.

Or Massacre at Malmedy by Charles Whiting , despite being a bit "pulp fiction" in style and not as good as TDA, the author spent a lot of time with JP shortly before his demise .
