The blaster carbine is a smaller—yet no less lethal—cousin to the blaster rifle. This more compact design affords the blaster carbine some advantages over a blaster rifle, but it also comes with some disadvantages as well.
Because of its compact design, all makes and models of a blaster carbine can always be used to make an attack of opportunity even if its stock is not folded.
Inaccurate Weapon: Because of its more compact design, all makes and models of a blaster carbine are considered inaccurate weapons and as such cannot fire at targets at long range.

Rifle
Rebellion Era Campaign Guide, page 50.
Cost: 1,200 Weight: 2.2kg Availability: Military
Damage: 3d8 Stun: Yes Type: Energy Mode(s) Single, Autofire
Apart from the brown color of their armor, Espos are known for their riot guns, manufactured by BlasTech Industries. The BlasTech 500 Riot gun is a compact blaster with a short barrel and an open-frame stock and is standard issue for all Espos. It functions, in most ways, as a blaster carbine; however, the riot gun is known for its indiscriminate accuracy. When in single-shot mode, the riot gun imposes a −1 penalty to ranged attack rolls; however the weapon grants a +2 eqipment to autofire attacks made by the weapon (meaning that, for most wielders, the weapon can be fired in autofire mode with only a −3 penalty, instead of the normal −5).
A double-barreled blaster carbine requires a power pack to operate. After 50 shots, the power pack must be replaced.
Continuity Note: This weapon is also listed in the Clone Wars Campaign Guide but with stats that diverge from the blaster carbine base model and are inconsistent with all other blaster carbine variants. The administrator of this Fandom Wiki has chosen not to list those stats on the basis that the Rebellion Era Campaign Guide was published after the Clone Wars book and therefore the Rebellion Era entry is considered to be implied errata.
