Not just ARVN had carbines in that movie. David Jansen, the reporter in Green Beret, uses an M1
Carbine when they are being over run and gives it to John Wayne after it is over.
Wasn't John Wayne in "The fighting See bees"? I think they had carbines there, too. That's another John Wayne. 3 to one, now...

Let's not forget the Man from U.N.C.L.E. The evil TRUSH foot soldiers carried faux M3 carbines with supposed M3 infrared scopes!
It was so popular, even the CIA museum has one!:

I always wondered what the guns in Planet of The Apes were.

IIRCC Billy made into season 4 maybe it was season 3. He was killed in an episode guest starring Tab Hunter as a pro baseball player that joined the squad. He was also in several episodes after he was supposidly killed. He is not listed as a regular on the back of any of the DVD cases. The last season of combat was done in color. The three contributing causes of the demise of Combat was the loss of the back lot wear all the filming was done (How many times can you take the same town?) The cost of the color filming and last but not least apy scales for the stars. Very few of the last seasons episodes featured both Janson and Morrow.
Another series that featured the use of Carbines was the final season of "Tour of Duty" when our dedicated band of warriors were doing special ops and were issued alternative weapons instead of Matty Matell.

Oh and on another note. some of the assault rifles used on the late series Battlestar Galactica were Highpoint carbines.

And the Bridges at Toki Ri With William Holden and Mickey Rooney. Mickey was using a carbine after his rescue chopper went down trying to rescue Holden

I always watch "The Bridges of Toko-Ri" when I see it's on.
Something about the fact that Holden's character (Lt. Brubaker) is called out of civillan life to go and fight in a far off, misunderstood war. The way it ends, always gets to me.....Frank
