I tested this and could not replicate results at point blank. Paras won repeatedly.
Strange
Also, guys, carbines are shorter rifles. M1 is a semi auto-rifle. M1A1 Carbine is a carbine. It is smaller, shorter (and fires smaller cartridge, but this is irrelevant to the term). Thus G43 is not a carbine, same with SVT. You can make a carbine out of SMLE, Kar98 or Mosin Nagant by shortening the barrel. The term came from cavalry that used shortened muskets. Although in Russian 'carbine' for some reason is a semi auto rifle.
There is no in game difference between how the various non auto weapons operate. So i did not distinguish between carbine, rifles, semi-auto, bolt action and alike.
