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.
