STRENGTHS

• Compact: The Model 5 is a very compact design, allowing it to be squeezed into very tight spaces.
• Modular: The blaster has several mounting points for modifications and can even fit a suppressor.
• Punch: With several different modes for damage output, the blaster is able to do heavy amounts of damage on organic beings or droids.
• Simple: Cheap, easy to produce, and easy to maintain, the Model 5 is available for a very low price to anyone who needs a gun.

WEAKNESSES

• Recoil: The high rate of fire comes at a cost to accuracy when used on full auto.
• Ammo: When used in full auto, the blaster can buzz through its small magazines at an alarming rate.
• Range: Designed as a personal defense/close quarter combat weapon, it doesn’t have very good range.
• Particle beams: Setting a weapon designed for close quarters to particle beam mode could potentially endanger the user.

DESCRIPTION
Essentially a tube that bolts come out of, the Model 5 CBC boasts a high rate of fire, with poor spread accuracy and high recoil as trade-offs.

It is designed to fill a niche role between larger rifles and pistols meant for personal defense, making it a perfect weapon for crewmen in vehicles as well as special operations teams who need to move quickly and deliver heavy firepower at a moment’s notice.

For those able to master the compact blaster carbine, it is a reliable and highly modular weapon for anyone, whether it be a soldier or a civilian looking for something better than a standard blaster.
