A carbine is a shortened version of the standard infantry rifle. It is used by calvary and artillery for duty where a small weapon and a large ammunition supply are more important than the power and range provided by a rifle.

Unsure if you are using Alpine as the name of the ammo or of the firearm. In early 1960s, firm maufactured M1 Carbines in California under the Alpine name. These used standard M1 Carbine ammo (aka 30 Carbine). Am not familiar with ammo maker by that name.
