Carbines bridge the gap between assault rifles and submachine guns; they are ideal for a variety of combat situations.
Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver in tight quarters.
The shorter barrel length mean 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 available to only the engineer class. So rack up your engineer score to unlock more carbines.
M4A1
Essentially a shortened version of the M16, the M4A1 carbine traces its roots to weapons designed for US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) during the Vietnam War.
The M4A1 variant is capable of automatic fire and includes rails that allow the user to equip a large number of accessories.
The carbine has seen heavy use at the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan in close quarters and urban environments.

AKS-74u
Derived from the AKS-74, the AKS-74u is a shortened carbine with the power of a rifle cartridge but the size of a submachine gun.
Often called by its nickname “Krinkov,” the shortened barrel makes the weapon inaccurate at medium ranges but extremely effective in close quarters.
Due to its incredibly short length, the AKS-74u cannot mount a Bipod.

SCAR-H
Developed for the US SOCOM, the SCAR is a modular series of weapons available in multiple interchangeable calibers, barrel lengths, and configurations.
This particular model has been configured as a SCAR-H CQB (SCAR-Heavy Close Quarters Battle), with a shortened barrel and is chambered for the hard-hitting 7.62mm NATO round.
This gives the SCAR-H a greater range than typical Carbines at the expense of some serious recoil.

Visually and mechanically similar to the M16, the M4 carbine was developed to replace pistols and submachine guns at the front lines.
The M4 is capable of semi-automatic and 3-round burst fire and is equipped with accessory rails for end user customization.
The rifle has largely replaced the M16A2 previously used by the US Marine Corps.

A-91
An unusual weapon, even by Russian standards, the A-91 is a bullpup carbine chambered for the 5.56mm NATO round, instead of a Russian caliber.
Made from polymers, it features a forward shell ejection system that keeps shells well clear of the shooter’s face upon ejection.
The bullpup configuration prevents the A-91 from mounting a bipod.

G36C
A cut-down version of the German Army’s full size G36 rifle, the C in G36C stands for “Commando” or “Compact.”
Equipped with a number of rails for accessories and a set of backup ironsights instead of the integrated optics and carry handle of the G36, the G36C is a carbine with significant customization options.
Its great ergonomics and short length make it excellent in short-range encounters. The G36C also includes a 2-round burst mode.
