Sporting Blaster Carbine

About the Sporting Blaster Carbine

Marketed to hunters and sport shooters rather than soldiers, the sporting blaster carbine is a civilian-legal long arm with better manners than a military rifle. Its extended barrel and refined optics give it genuine reach and accuracy, ideal for taking game at a distance or plinking targets on a range, and its lightweight two-handed frame handles easily in the field. Manufacturers tuned it for a clean, low-recoil shot and fitted a stun mode both for capturing live specimens and for satisfying the safety regulations of civilized worlds. That respectability makes it a favorite of a certain kind of traveler: someone who wants real firepower that still passes a customs inspection. It lacks the raw punch and rugged over-engineering of a combat carbine, and a soldier would find it wanting in a firefight. But for a well-heeled adventurer, it hits well above its unassuming reputation.
