Carbine? Interesting...
I've heard the term, "carbine" before, but I never knew that the M4 was a carbine. I thought that it was a conventional rifle.
According to Wikipedia, a carbine, by definition, is a "light, short-barreled rifle." Although, I think that a carbine is designed for combat at a closer range in comparison to a conventional rifle.
