billyumreal, please don't lay down the whole "you don't know ____" line. I hate when people say that because it sounds really, really ignorant. But, for what it's worth. I am aware that real-life carbines are all semi-automatic nowadays. Real-life pistols also happen to kill you in one shot :P
I simply am stating that the AC's whole paced-shot carbine is a unique gameplay-over-realism decision that was made in the right direction. If it was made semi-auto, it could be spammed, losing its purpose as a marksman weapon.
The whole point in keeping the fire rate while making it 50 damage and armor-piercing is that, although you would kill slower than other weapons, that slowness wouldn't get lengthened any by your enemies grabbing armor. Besides, how often do you land two shots of the current carbine on a moving target without missing at least once or pausing? It's not as easy as it sounds.
