My past article on battle rifles was quite well received here on Doing Freedom!, so when thinking about what you folks are most interested in, I figured that a companion piece on battle carbines might be popular. There is probably more commercial interest in battle carbines than battle rifles in the US, so I think an introductory article on them might be of use to persons entering the market. I have some biases against battle carbines, but I will make them very clear in a moment, and then lock them away and write with an open mind (or as close to it as I can come). So with all that being said, let us continue onward.
