Jungle Carbine was an informal term used for the Rifle No. 5 Mk I which was a derivative of the British Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk I designed not for jungle fighting but in response to a requirement for a Shortened Lightened version of the No.4 rifle for airborne forces in the European theatre of operations.
