Battlefield 3 DLC Guide — Premium Essentials Close-Quarters Weapons
Carbines
Carbines bridge the gap between assault rifles and submachine guns, ideal for a variety of combat situations. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver in tight quarters. The shorter barrel length means less muzzle velocity, accuracy, and range than their assault rifle counterparts, but they still have the stopping power to take down opponents quickly. The carbines are only available to the engineer class.
ACW-R
This adaptive combat rifle features several recent rifle designs and acts as a lightweight, feature-heavy rifle platform. Using the modern, recoil-reducing “Grendel” round, as well as being built to endure rough weather conditions and capable of utilizing standard STANAG magazines, this rifle is equipped to fill many of the roles required by both military and law enforcement.

This bullpup carbine is the ultracompact version of the Israeli army standard TAR-21 rifle. It features supreme ergonomics and handling due to its 590 mm (23.2 in) length and is intended for use in tighter environments where standard length rifles become cumbersome. As of 2009, it is destined to become the standard rifle of the IDF and is seeing success internationally as part of security and police forces.
