A carbine resembles a rifle, but has a smooth barrel while the rifle has a grooved barrel. The grooved barrel gives a rifle greater accuracy, but a lower muzzle velocity.
An air rifle is a rilfe that uses compressed air to launch a pellet, rather than an explosive charge to launch a bullet.

A Carbine has nothing to do with rifling. It's a short barrel air rifle or a pistol that has a rifle butt-stock attached to it. In a since it's a cross between a pistol and a rifle. They fire the same ammo as a full size air rifle but are not as accurate. They are used because they are lighter in weight and good in close quarters.
A carbine is a type of rifle.

It depends.. if you have a carbine length barrel and will be using it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then yes. If you took it from a rifle with a rifle length barrel, and are putting it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then it won't function properly.
'la longue carabine' means the long carbine (single-barreled rifle).
A carbine is generally a rifle with a shorter barrel to make it easy to carry or to use indoors or from inside vehicles. (Example: M16 rifle; M4 carbine. Same basic weapon except one barrel is several inches shorter. Sometimes a "carbine" will also mean a weapon that looks like a rifle but shoots pistol-caliber ammunition or other weaker ammo. Example: M1 Garand .30 rifle; M1 .30 carbine (the carbine is several inches shorter, a few pounds lighter, and fires a much smaller weaker round, intended for close-range use only).
By definition, a carbine is a short rifle. The standard M-16 has a 20" barrel, while the M-4 has a 16" barrel. A number of US Rifles have had carbine versions, with the notable exceptions being the M-1903 and the Rifle, .30 M-1.
A carbine is a rifle with a relatively short barrel. If you have a carbine receiver it's for a rifle. There are lots of 9mm carbines out there. Here is a link to some photos http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=9mm+carbine&btnG=Search Hope that helps.
