Notes: The spamming, fast shot nature of this gun means that it is particularly good for getting lucky random headshots at distance. The same principle of aiming for the center of mass at extreme range when using the Battle Rifle applies, but oddly enough the carbine seems the better of the two when aiming at the head from extreme range. It seems to be 'more powerful' than the BR is at range.
