A Laser Carbine (8,000 grams, including power pack; Cr3,500; TL-8) is a lightweight version of the laser rifle, firing high energy bolts using current from a backpack battery/power pack. [1]
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The laser carbine fires a 2mm beam of energy, aimed by integrated optic sights. The power pack is capable of producing 50 shots before it requires recharging. Recharging requires at least eight hours connected to a high energy source. The laser carbine is connected to the power pack by a heavy-duty cable. [2]
Weapon Characteristics[edit]
Length: 800mm. Weight of carbine: 5,000 grams. Weight of power pack: 3,000 grams. Base price: Cr2,500 (extra power pack: Cr1,000). Cost of recharge, at commercial rates: Cr200. [3]
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Around the TL:7-9 epoch, Energy Weapons or DEW (Directed Energy Weapons), also known as Beam Weapons or Projected Energy Weapons become a significant part of the battlefield. They start as rangefinders and target designators and eventually become a significant weapon for armored vehicles (AFVs), fighting ships, and even as infantry smallarms as the technology is miniaturized. [4]
Laser Carbines come of age in the TL:7-9 epoch and are never really considered obsolete as they remain useful well into the TL:13-15 epoch. However, they are gradually superceded by Gauss Weaponry and Plasma Weaponry. [5]
