Dear Experts,
An on-line dictionary I frequently use gives the pronunciation of the word 'carbine' as [ka:bain], in both BrE and AmE versions. However in a number of war movies I could clearly hear the word being pronounced as [ka:bin] or [ka:bi:n].
Which pronunciation is correct then?
Thank you very much in advance,
Tomasz
