How are you feeling about the Lemat Carbine? 🙂
As of Update 1.12, the firerate is a little higher and the sights are fixed.

I liked the original LeMat. FMJ was already pretty dope, decently good with fanning as well, and the shotgun is useful for very aggressive door entries. The Carbine pushes all of it higher [sans fanning of course], and is one of the most versatile guns in the game. It's one of the few instances where you can pick up a melee secondary and not be in "meme loadout" territory.

Alot of people like to slam slugs in it and its a total bop with slugs but my favorite thing is treating the base shotgun part like an emergency "Aw nah" button when I get pushed or am pushing. Also people really like walking into it if you're low even in low six stars because they think "Its just compact ammo"

[gabrielfunez]

I think it's best paired with a hand crossbow for a traitless build. You have the panic one hit kill at close range with the crossbow if you whiff the underbarrel shot. Slap half poison and 2 concertina bombs and you can do a bit of everything. Or in teams use half chokebolts and that will free you space to bring wombo combo traps to the fight. You've got some fun options there.

You forgot to mention that when you use Starshell, its effectiveness is roughly twice that which you would get normally due to the sheer intimidation factor

[PhyrexianPraetor]

it is definitely not just you with the forgetting to switch fire modes; I have scattered so much buckshot across open plains since I got this gun that it'd make Genghis khan proud

I haven't put a lot of time in on the Carbine yet, but I can easily see it becoming my favourite compact ammo primary weapon. Having a button I can mindlessly click while walking around will keep my ADD satisfied.

I like to bring LeMat carbine FMJ and the new army with FMJ, unless I have fanning than it's another LeMat FMJ

[julianeuburger]

i am also really enjoying the Lemat Carbine for when I just don't want to deal with picking traits and stuff. Just Lemat Carbine + Lemat Pistol and I'm ready to go. Also the skin from the battle pass is just soooo nice

[datthdoner]

So the kind of humor you have is absolutley the best about your videos. Nice work, im proud to hve you as my steamfriend <3

[TheErazar]

Appreciate your writing and sense of humor, great guide as always!

[DzDyT]

Actually, imagine LMK Carabine + dual LMK pistols

[Jefrejtor]

Just discovered your channel today, yet you've convinced me that I would, in fact, like to grow old together with you.

New army and dum dum is a new favorite ❤ amazing video ..your vids are smack'in 😂 i forgot to like the last vids i watched cause they were so good i got too into it and instantly clicked the next in the Chanel

[captainpancakes]

I like the lemat in general for the same reason i like the bomb lance custom ammo. Sure for straight damage, there's better alternatives, but you'd be suprised just what a little bonus utility can do for you in a fight. And yes i like the starshell. Its all fun and games until its a night map and you have unlimited flares thanks to quartermaster and the carbine with dual pistols.

The only thing I really struggle to recommend the carbine for is medium-long to long range. It has the same drawbacks as the Winfield without the phenomenal front post for head tapping.

[Hanfgurkenhasser]

I could have sworn something about the gun was off! Glad to hear I have not gone mad (yet), felt like I was whiffing shots that should have connected.

[BrobjeV]

that was the sweetest subscription proposal i've ever heard

[SaladTheHutt]

love these weapon review videos a lot keep it up man

[RightClickGamers]

It's quickly become my main weapon. I tend to use incendiary ammo because you pretty much rely on headshots for kills, and if the target is jumping around at a distance it takes like 4 shots to kill, so you might as well set them on fire while you're at it. I've had situations where they panic enough to allow a killshot by myself or my friends. Also the utility of barrel kills. It also doesn't slow down your already slow velocity like FMJ does either.

I've been using a sparks pistol with half poison ammo for maximum annoyance, half regular for wallbangs. 15 seconds of no healing and being at potentially 1 health makes switching to the LeMat effective at any range if you're fast enough on the switch. And vice versa, if you hit them with incendiary, the small amount of char prevents healing to max, which can then allow the sparks pistol to one shot. I've been having a lot of fun with this combo.

I hate to admit, but I've gotten used to the misaligned sights. It's kinda nice to put their head on top of the little flat area without obscuring it and just know it'll headshot. I'll feel conflicted when they fix it.
