Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Carbine/ Others?

What is the difference between carbine and other AR15 rifles?

Shorter barrel. Typically 16" and shorter is a carbine, and longer is a rifle. There are some barrels that fall into SMG territory. I'd say less than 11" for SMG, but I'm sure there are some that would debate that.
