List of carbines explained

A carbine (or),^[1] from French carabine,^[2] is a long arm firearm but with a shorter barrel than a rifle or musket.^[3] Many carbines are shortened versions of full-length rifles, shooting the same ammunition, while others fire lower-powered ammunition, typically ranging from pistol/PDW to intermediate rifle cartridges.
