Description from Call of Duty manual: The M1A1 Carbine, a 30. caliber semi-automatic rifle with a folding stock, is commonly issued to paratroopers. Though it lacks the stopping power of larger rifles, it's lightweight, accurate, and compact.

By Brendon: The M1A1 Carbine is perhaps the most overlooked weapon in online gaming history. It was fairly popular during WW2, however, games like Medal of Honor have completely left it out. In Call of Duty and Call of Duty United Offensive multiplayer, players tend to never pick it. It's a real shame, as this may be the best weapon in the game. Really. It's light, has a higher rate of fire than any other rifle, does long range damage like the revolver does short range, and it's on-the-dime accurate. Perfect weapon for Domination mode, as you can kill the enemy long range and still run quickly from flag to flag. Others say the Kar98k is just as mobile as the Carbine, and since it dishes out more damage it's better. So not true. What happens when you fire a Kar98k close range and miss, while the other guy has a Tommy Gun? You're finished! With the Carbine you can miss and still survive! You have 14 more bullets in that clip, and if you can aim for the head you can take him out just as good as any Kar98k could. This weapon is a must-pickup every time you find one. If you are using an MP40 or some other automatic weapon, the Carbine can make a useful utility weapon. You can get those who are too far to kill easily with the SMG, and you can use the weapon as a powerful side-arm when you're in the heat of a close battle.

History of the M1A1 Carbine: The M1A1 Carbine rifle fired a special round derived from the Winchester .32 commercial cartridge of limited power. The butt of the rifle was something like a tubular skeleton and many could be folded, proving extremely useful to the Airborne troops. It resembled a sporting arm more than a military carbine, and it could fire 15 rounds per clip.
