The carbine sacrifices some range and power for portability. It’s the preferred long gun of cavalry, scouts, and anyone who needs a rifle that won’t catch on doorframes or saddle horns. The Light quality means it can be fired from a moving mount without the standard −2 dice penalty.

Light long guns are short and balanced enough to fire from horseback without the −2 dice penalty that normally applies to long guns from a moving mount. The Carbine is the standard cavalry rifle.
