Blaster carbine

A blaster carbine was a shortened version of the blaster rifle.

Description
A blaster carbine had a short barrel and compact two-handed grip, making it look more like a long pistol than a rifle. Carbines offered distinct advantages from other weapons. They were generally shorter and lighter than their heavier cousins, and allowed for more capabilities especially in confined environments. Carbines also had a faster rate of fire than a typical blaster rifle. Additionally, carbines were often cheaper to produce than ordinary rifles. In exchange for these advantages however, they had a shorter range, less accuracy, and less stopping power. Blaster carbines had a short-range stun setting as well as an autofire setting, which allowed the weapon to fire multiple shots at a greater area instead of the more accurate single-shot mode.
