.30 Carbine is a type of ammunition for firearms. It is classified as a (P)istol caliber, and was originally designed for use in the M1 Carbine.
.30 Carbine is pronounced thirty carbine. The pronunciation of the word carbine is subject to debate, between Kar-BYNE (rhymes with mine) and Kar-BEEN (rhymes with mean). Both are considered acceptable, the chosen pronunciation being largely a matter of personal preference.
This caliber may also be known as 7.62x33mm, or more informally .30 Carb.
