}}
'''.30 Carbine''' is a type of [[ammunition]] for firearms. Though it was originally designed for the [[M1 Carbine]], it is classified as a <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol caliber due to its dimensions (straight-walled cartridge with and a round-nosed projectile and relatively low power).
.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.
