What is considered a carbine?
A carbine usually has a shorter barrel than a standard rifle and is usually lighter. An example would be the Mosin Nagant M38 which is the carbine version of the M91/30. Shorter barrel and shorter stock(retractable also) such as the M4-(ALEX CHIEM) It also shoots smaller caliber bullets In the last few centuries, carbines have existed as rifles with cut-down barrels, and as shoulder arms firing a pistol round. Both sacrifice the range and velocity of a rifle for a shorter and more easily handled weapon. Carbines have been used many times in the history of firearms. Currently the US M4 carbine in Iraq is a cut-down version of the M16 assault rifle, and it is better for short-range street fighting. In the American Civil War, carbines were used by cavalrymen, and most fired a smaller caliber bullet, but the Sharps and Spencer carbines were merely the rifles with shorter barrels. In WW2, the US M1 carbine fired the .30 pistol round.
Where did the term RIFLE originate?
