The Rifle No. 5 Mk I, nicknamed the Jungle Carbine for its use in jungle warfare, was
a bolt action carbine derivative of the British Lee–Enfield No. 4 Mk I.
It was developed per jungle fighting experiences in the Pacific War that led the
British to decide a rifle shorter and lighter than the regular Lee–Enfield was critical
for better mobility.
Produced between March 1944 and December 1947,the Jungle Carbine was
intended for and used in jungle environments where it gained its nickname.
It notably saw widespread usage in on various sides of postwar colonial conflicts
such as the Indonesian National Revolution, Malayan Emergency, and Vietnam War
well into the 1960s, with sporadic use reported to have continued in several
secessionist wars such as the Bangladesh Liberation War and Bougainville conflict
throughout the rest of the 20th century.
