BR has more aim assist then the carbine while carbine has next to none.
I've been going over this scenario in my head.. Carbine Vs BR strafe-fest.
Carbine is likely to lose as he has to keep his no-aim assist rifle reticule over a tiny head while the BR can just spray away because of its 3 shot burst and has aim assist backing it up.
You can say I need to get better with the Carbine all you want, and quite honestly I'm working hard to learn this new wizardry, but everytime a strafe fight happens I just miss my shots ALOT, then end up getting picked off by them sweep headshoting.

I too wish the carbine was as powerful as advertised. I had heard that to balance it's most demanding aim requirements of all precision weapons it had the fastest kill time. But the DMR still kills faster if both players hit all their shots.
