A variant of the Lee Enfield devised for airborne operations, the No5 MkI, most commonly known as Jungle carbine due to it's use in the jungles of East Asia by Commonwealth forces during and after WW2,was a somewhat average rifle. It was lighter and shorter, and thus easier to maneuver with it in hands through the jungle, or during a paradrop, but it's shortened barrel made it way less accurate than the other Lee Enfield variants. It also had considerable recoil due to the muzzle flash suppressor and it's lighter build, and even the pad meant to reduce the perceived effect of recoil increased it.It was generally mainly used in close distances due to it's issues, but it was still a good weapon for tight spaces
