carabineer
Spring-loaded metal loop
A carabineer is a soldier armed with a carbine—a short-barreled rifle lighter than standard infantry weapons.
The term is historical, associated with cavalry units who needed compact firearms they could handle on horseback.
Also spelled carabinier.
A carabiner (the climbing clip) takes its name from the same source, having once attached to a soldier's belt.
