Blaster Carbine

About the Blaster Carbine

A compact, shortened rifle that splits the difference between a pistol's handiness and a rifle's power, the blaster carbine is the workhorse of soldiers, marines, and security forces who fight in the tight confines of corridors, vehicles, and boarding actions. Its trimmed barrel keeps it maneuverable in close quarters while a two-handed grip and stock deliver accuracy and stopping power well beyond any sidearm. A stun setting broadens its utility, letting a trooper take prisoners or quell a disturbance without lethal force. Versatile and reliable, the carbine turns up everywhere the fighting is likely to be up close and fast, from cramped ship interiors to crowded urban streets. It is not the longest-reaching arm on a battlefield, but within its band it is deadly, controllable, and quick to bring to bear, exactly the qualities a professional wants when the enemy is already too close for comfort.
