What I think I know. Ok, so, a carbine is a short type of rifle. They often fire at a lower velocity but often the same ammo? Being shorted than a long rifle I can see the use in urban/close quarters confrontation.
What are the other pros and cons of this style of firearm. I also see them often with a non trigger hand handle + stock....obviously this is different than say a long rifle. Purpose?
Basically, my questions is, tell me everything about carbines.
As usual, your patience and tolerance of my ignorance is much appreciated. No one in my family or my husbands family (including hubby) shoots so everything I know is from my limited experience, books or you guys!
