Carbine

Weirdly, for me it's context

IE: I took part in a PCC competition using my Pistol Caliber Car-Been. The winner used an M1 Car-Bine

There is no logic in it, but I seem to flip-flop back and forth
 
When I hear it in my head, it's "-been" because of all the American movies, TV shows, YouTube videos I've seen over the years.

But when I say it, it becomes "byne," because I'm old, cranky, that's how I was taught, and GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
