DESCRIPTION
The EE-1 Blaster Carbine is a weapon fit for purpose. Designed for the close quarters combat of naval boarding actions, its compact size and two-handed grip are essential for fighting at extremely close ranges. Simple, rugged, but lacking in many of the features of a full-sized rifle, the EE-1 sacrifices accuracy for utility. Though officially rated for 75 meters, with an optional scope, the recommended use-case is combat within 50 meters or less. Design demands for the smaller frame necessitated more robust internal components, leaving it with a similar weight to larger rifles.LEGALITY
Illegal for civilian use.INTENT
The intent for this weapon is twofold: to bring in a weapon with a particularly Star-Warsey look, and to create something that looks like it could be used in functional close-quarters fighting aboard a ship. Most of the weapons available are large and not suited for repelling boarders. The weapon is based on the prop sizes given for the E-11 blaster rifle in movie source material. I was unsatisfied with the large sizes for rifles in the current listed tech, and if approved this would give a template for a proper carbine-sized rifle in line with the modern definition of the term and historical movie use of blasters.ADVANCED TECH
NO
