    My 1940 French Cavalry is armed with carbines.  Are they treated like rifles or do they have a shorter range?

    Carbines are treated like a pistol when mounted and like a rifle when on foot.  Pistols and carbines are the only weapons that can be fired when mounted – p89, Unit Special Rules, Cavalry, fifth paragraph.

    Thanks for the response. They are a motorcycle recon unit of the French 2nd Light Cavalry Division.

    If they’re not mounted on horses then carbines are just rifles (unless the specific unit entry you’re using gives something different in it’s special rules).
