Notice they are all autoloading pistol calibers. Hmmmm...Why did you post this in the Handguns-Autoloaders section? A carbine is a type of rifle.
Unfortunately this is incorrect. A carbine is a shortened version of same caliber long armCarbine = uses pistol calibers.
Rifle = uses rifle calibers.
Carbine = uses pistol calibers.
Rifle = uses rifle calibers
Surprised not many fans of 40sw, tho.
I had no idea 7.62x54r, as used in the Mosin Nagant M-44 was a pistol cartridge, or the 5.56x45 in the M-4 carbine I was issued in Iraq was a pistol cartridge.Carbine = uses pistol calibers.
Rifle = uses rifle calibers.
One of my Swedish Mausers was a rifle, the other a carbine. The carbine is longer than most "normal" rifles, and the rifle was really long.
