"Is this for a handgun?"
"No Sir, I don't own any guns because they are EVIL. I'm buying up all the ammo I can so the terrorists won't be able to get any."

Yes, they make 10 mm carbines.... the mech tech carbine conversion unit is one example. They also make it in 38 super, 40 S&W, 9mm, and 45 acp and 460 rowland.

So you could buy basically any caliber generally associated with pistols as long as you have a carbine in that caliber?

Legally speaking, yes.

Chaim, the Bizon SMG is in 9mm Makarov. You may be able to find a semi-auto version of it somewhere.

Come to think of it, most of the dolts behind the counter wouldn't know a pistol cartriage from a rifle catriage. So, in a way, this is all for naught. They are just parroting what the computer asks, so just say, "Rifle" all the time. If they give you any grief, then take all the types of rifles that you can find in those cartriage types and then show them that it's for a (insert rifle here).
That's what I would do if I were 18. But, far from it right now so I don't have to worry

Since I'm under 21...
Ill usually have an adult go with me to get handgun ammo (which is really embarrassing when your 19, btw). There was this one time that I went into Wal-Mart to get some 9x19 for my P99. I was asked the question and I answered "rifle" in hopes to aviod the whole "must be 21" thing. Lady looked at me and smartly remarked, "really, because this is handgun ammunition". I politely informed her that while 9mm is a very popular handgun round, there are many different carbines chambered for the round. She just looked at me, asked for ID and rung me up.
Oh yeah... quit bagging on the Wal-Mart employees. If you want knowledgeable staff and top-notch service go to your local shop (where you may get 1 out of the 2). Im working retail while going through college and let me tell you that its not real fun. You are constantly moved around and you may be put in an area that you know nothing about because someone called out. Most people dont seem to realize that when you just barely make over minimum wage and get treated like trash all day, you tend not to want to take pride in your work. I have gone so far out of my way to help customers that it isnt even funny, only to get cussed out by the next customer. Realize that most Wal-Mart employees dont work there because they want to.
