[Source] The DH-17 blaster carbine was a variant of the DH-17 blaster pistol produced by BlasTech Industries, in operation during the Galactic Civil War, and was commonly used by the troopers of the Rebel Alliance due to its reliability. It was also a weapon of choice for commandos. The DH-17 blaster carbine appeared cosmetically similar to the blaster pistol model, but was a more streamlined version, lacking the rear scope, and had three firing functions: single shot, three-round burst, and fully automatic. A sub-nosed variant of the carbine existed, the DH-17 short carbine.
