Description[]
[]
The Civilian CARB rifle is a CARB that was designed for the civilian market, and differs from it's military counterpart. The civilian-legal version has a longer barrel, since the CARB has a detachable barrel, it is counted from the end of the base unit. The original CARB has a 14,2 in barrel, it is illegal for a civilian to own such a firearm without a SBR permit (short barrel rifle), the barrel was extended, some rifles have a fake sound suppressor to hide it. The barrel is also pinned to the base unit permanently, and cannot be removed. The Civilian CARB only fires in semi-automatic only, although selective-fire versions do exist, however, they cannot be acquired legally without a type III firearm permit, however the selective fire variant is a standard issue weapon for civilian RDA personnel on Pandora when working outside the wire for self defense only.
