About this weapon
The Carbine Rifle is a Vom Feuer assault rifle chambered in 5.56mm and set to fully automatic fire. Its GTA V form combines features associated with several AR-pattern firearms rather than following one single model. The lower receiver and gas block resemble components from that family, while the upper receiver, rail, handguard and stock draw on other designs. It carries dual iron sights on its main Picatinny rail, and its pistol grip combines elements of Ergo and Hogue grips.
The rifle costs $5,000 and begins with a 30-round magazine. It accepts grips to improve accuracy and scopes for greater zoom, the same attachment range available for the Assault Rifle. The standard magazine can be exchanged for a 60-round version. In GTA Online, a 100-round box magazine is also available, with a somewhat longer reload. The box magazine resembles an A&K 5000-round Airsoft Box Magazine.
The Carbine Rifle is a dependable general-purpose automatic weapon, outperforming Submachine Guns as an all-round choice. It fires quickly and accurately, although that rate of fire spends ammunition fast. Against the Advanced Rifle, it is more accurate but less powerful. It also deals more damage per shot than the Assault Rifle and has better accuracy and fire rate, while the two rifles share the same range. Its accuracy, automatic fire and attachment options suit it to a wide range of combat situations.
Trivia
- ◆The name "Carbine Rifle" is actually a contradiction in terms, as "carbine" and "rifle" represent two mutually-exclusive categories of firearm. A carbine is a firearm with a barrel length shorter than that of a rifle or musket, but longer than a that of a pistol or submachine gun.
- ◆There are a few artworks of Michael holding an M4 CQBR with an Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight and sound suppressor. However, said weapon never appears in-game.
- ◆Also, other artworks depicts the same weapon without the suppressor or even with a different stock.
- ◆In the second official trailer, the Carbine Rifle had a different handguard/front design with linear vents, full-lenght side rails (in contrast with the short rails from the current model) and what look like rail cover attachments (which were scrapped in the final version).
- ◆The Mk II variant from the Gunrunning update in GTA Online has a very similar design, albeit with sectioned side rails instead of full-length rails and slightly tweaked vent design. The rail covers on either side, however, are part of the weapon's model and are not considered actual attachments.
- ◆When customized with a scope attachment, the iron sights are not removed or flipped down; this is highly impractical as the iron sights would obstruct the viewing field of the scope. This is most likely an oversight by Rockstar. In the updated GTA V for next gen consoles, the sights are correctly flipped down, but only in first person view.
- ◆Adding the suppressor to the Carbine Rifle seems to convert the barrel into an integral suppressor. This is slightly reminiscent of the AAC Honey Badger assault rifle, which is also an M4 variant that has an integral suppressor.
- ◆Although the charging handle is obviously seen pulled back while reloading in third person view, in first person view, the charging handle remains static, despite the hands motioning the bolt pull, and the sound of it being pulled playing.
- ◆In the next-gen version of GTA V, text on the Carbine Rifle refers to the model simply as "Carbine". Inscriptions are also featured on its receiver and charging handle reading its manufacturer and calibre.
- ◆According to Lester Crest, the Carbine Rifle is favored by LSPD tactical teams.
- ◆The bolt and barrel are slightly misaligned; the barrel is positioned just below the bolt, which would render the rifle unable to feed.
- ◆This same error is present on the Service Carbine, but not the Carbine Rifle Mk II, which are also based on the AR-15 weapons platform.
