I'm not sure. I think the Carbine might kill slightly faster. I saw a video a long time ago and it had different weapon vs. weapon cases.
i think it kills faster if you hit every shot with it vs someone with a BR
Okay, so I was interested enough to go looking for some proof. According to this video, the Carbine will win out if you're in a point-blank fight. However, looks to me like the BR user choked on firing a burst in the first fight? Regardless, this is if you're standing completely still. Nobody is going to have 100% accuracy, so it comes down to who misses a shot first. I suppose you also get more time to reposition your reticle for the next shot with the BR, but with the Carbine you don't get time in between shots to compensate for strafe or cover, or you might end up being to slow.
This pretty much sums it up.


yeah this explains it all, good video.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

The Beta Carbine was brutal. I'm glad it got nerfed though; it was a little TOO accurate.

The Carbine is better in the hands of marines due to it's rof. Just 14 carbine marines can destroy the toughest Brutes.

Also, it's useful against perched Jackal snipers. The BR's individual bullets don't have much stopping power and it's spread makes it outmatched against snipers. The Carbine has some degree of stopping power and is a bit more reliable. The encounter I'm speaking of is immediately after Sierra 117 rally point alpha, where there are 2 inaccessible Jackal snipers on the other side. Knocking them into the water renders them unable to fire at you. Much better than trying to get a headshot on them with the BR.

But what makes it really great in campaign is that Arby carries it. You can easily replenish and go through an entire mission with it (I'm thinking of levels like The Covenant). just like the good old times (CE missions).

Carbine does have a faster kill time, but the BR is more effective. Better accuracy and headshots are easier (3 bullet spread not 1).
