No. The term "carbine" typically refers to a derivative of a particular military rifle that is shorter than the full-size version. Carbines were originally intended for use by cavalrymen, who needed a compact shoulder-fired arm to use while on horseback.

Can a shotgun be mounted on a M16?

Yes. As of 2012, there are two mass-produced shotgun attachments available for the M16 assault rifle and M4 carbine. These are the Knight's Armament Company Masterkey, which is based on the Remington 870, and the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System (MASS). While these are typically used for door breaching, they are lethal at short range.

What is the difference between a 30-30 Winchester Model 94 rifle and a Model 94 carbine?

Winchester carbines have a different shaped butt from a rifle, the shoulder or butt plate is shaped differently and is flatter. It never has a trapdoor. Having said that, rifles could be ordered with a carbine or even a shotgun buttstock. Generally speaking, the carbine will have a shorter barrel and not in a heavy profile or fully octagonal. This isn't a certain definition of carbine though as short barrels were available on special order to fit on the rifles. Rifle barrels were available down to 15 inch length, the same as the shortest carbine barrels. If the firearm has a ring attached to the body (action) it will be a carbine as this 'saddle ring' was not available on rifles. Also but more specialised, the two have different sights. Hope that helps.


What is the value of a Universal 30 Mic Carbine w 22 barrel?

While similar in appearance to the military M1 Carbine, the Universal brand carbine may or may not share parts with those. They are considered to be of lesser quality than the military carbine, and prices are about half of the GI Carbine.
