In this post, i will be making a about the carbine group of guns that appear in BF2.
Carbines are generally a smaller and less-lengthy version of rifles, they share the same ammunition as full boar rifles, but essentially have lower muzzle velocity. Such as the US rifle, the M4.

In BF2, there is a total of 5 carbines. Contrary to popular belief, the AK[47/101] family of rifles in BF2 are not carbines, even though the icon for carbines, is an AK47.Wikipedia.com wrote:
A carbine is a firearm similar to, but generally shorter and less powerful than, a rifle or musket of a given period. There have been many carbines developed from rifles, being essentially shorter rifles firing the same ammunition, although usually at a lower velocity.

The AK-74U, is the most powerul carbine (by damage) in BF2. It comes equipped with a red-dot scope, and shares a level of zoom which is the same as the QBZ-97 (1.67). However, it is more unaccurate than its counterpart, the M4, when standing or crouching. When using this weapon at close ranges (such as a head-on confrontation), fire on full automatic at the torso. When at longer ranges, fir on single-shot while prone. This weapon is shared by the MEC and the MEC SF, Spetsnaz, Rebels and Insurgents.

The M4 carbine, is a shortened version of the M16 rifle. It is being used by the USA in various theaters of war in the Middle East. Unlike the M16, it has automatic capabilities. It also comes equipped with a red-dot scope, which has a lower zoom yield than the AK-74U, its Russian counterpart. In BF2, the M4 is less powerful than the AK74U, but shares the same damage with the QBZ-97 (25 damage) and is more accurate. It is used only by the USMC in bf2, and is replaced by the SCAR-L for the Navy SEALS.

The QBZ-97 is a Chinese-built export version of the QBZ-95, made by the PLA in 1997. They share the same build, but uses NATO ammunition. In bf2, the QBZ-97 is the most accurate of the basic carbines, even more so than the G36C 1st tier unlock. Funnily enough, it has the same zoom level as the AK-74U, but it doesn't use a scope, instead it uses iron-sights. This carbine is used solely and only by the Chinese forces in BF2.

The German-made Heckler & Koch G36C is the commando version of the G36 rifle. In BF2, the G36C is the 1st-tier unlock of the Special-Ops kit. Personally, i use the G36C over all weapons in the SpecOps kit. It is accurate, powerful, and with short bursts with quickly kill anybody that is not prepared. This gun is very good over long ranges, and can even be used for very short-range sniping (perfect for shooting people off roofs and buildings) on maps such as Warlord. This carbine is best used when shot in small burts when prone. A small burst to the head will instantly kill any enemy. Becouse it is an unlock, it can be used by any army in the game.Tip wrote:
When taking headshots, if you have an adjustable sensitivity mouse (such as a G5) set it to 400 DPI for less overshooting.

The SCAR (Special forces Combat Assault Rifle) is a Belgian-made Assault rifle which is in use by US SOCOM in 2 forms, the SCAR-L (for light rounds) and the SCAR-H (for higher calibre rounds). In bf2, it is the 2nd-tier unlock of the Spec-Ops kit. It comes equipped with a red-dot scope, perfect for special-forces night-fights. This weapon is scarcely used in bf2, as much more players prefer the G36C.
