So I was at work on day and got bored and looked up the definition of carbineer, here is what i found:


Carabineer (yes that's the way it's spelled)


Meaning - A calvary soldier armed with a carbine.


Carbine - 1. a short-barreled lightweight firearm originally used by calvary. 2. a light short-barreled repeating rifle that is used as a supplementary military arm of for hunting in dense brush.


So if carabineer's were in fact calvary, which means they were probably "mounted,"then whycan't we use specials while mounted?


Thought you would enjoy the read

Then we have the eternal question, why do type-o's only show up after you press submit?

It is pandora's box question. What I mean is that if they allow carbineer to use special while mounted everyone else would demand it.

I believe carabineers would historically ride to their assigned battle positions, then dismount before firing.
