The weapon has a 60-round magazine (which was unrealistic at the time of the game's release), even though the in-game magazine model looks like a regular 30-round AR magazine. This is a rather odd choice, since the AR-10 is a considerably old rifle that was mostly in service in European countries (Such as Germany, Portugal and Italy) during the 50s and the 60s, and is therefore considerably hard to find in America. The fact that the AR-10 fires 7.62x51mm ammunition as opposed to the less powerful 5.56x45mm ammo of M4/M16 rifles possibly explains why this weapon was far more powerful per shot than the M4-type rifles of later games, and the 7.62x39mm AK-47. The Grand Theft Auto III rendition resembles an ArmaLite AR-10, judging by the handguard and the overall shape, even though it is called 'M16' in-game.The weapon is based on multiple assault rifles of the same derivative, although most of them received a singular name, being most of the times incorrect in the historical sense. In each game it appears, the Carbine Rifle is generally more powerful than the AK-47. Opposed to the AK-47 being mostly used by street gangs, the Carbine Rifle is a weapon of choice of many law enforcement agencies, the military, and high-level criminals, such as the Mafia, drug cartels, and heist crews. The 3D Universe renditions shared the characteristic carry handle-iron sight attachment (being mostly used on the M4 and other derivatives of the same), while the HD Universe rendition lacked such feature, but still maintaining the streamlined appearance. The weapon received the same black/dark grey skin, with several details of shades of the same colors.

The Carbine Rifle is one of the weapons that had several changes in the Grand Theft Auto series, but retained its rather streamlined appearance compared to the AK-47.
