It’s hard (because of recoil), but you can walk fire on someone running, etc.
If one thinks a M1 is hard recoil-wise...try a 1903 Springfield with a Type "S" stock, Mosin-Nagant or 98K Mauser...none have stocks particularly conducive to recoil control.
Replacing a 1903 S-stock with a pistol grip C-stock makes for a much more comfortable shooting rifle...though still harder recoiling than an M1. Back in the day it seems there was little if any thought given to stock design by militaries of the world...just what was easiest and cheapest to mass produce.
