DESCRIPTION
Introduced by Czerka Arms in 853 ABY the Model 311 Double Barrel Blaster Carbine was an attempt by Czerka to create a blaster carbine that could double the firepower of an individual, the solution to this? Simple but two blaster carbines together and create the Model 311.

Depending on who you asked they achieved this but sacrificed accuracy for this power and produced a middling weapon that was not very successful in its initial production run despite Czerka producing tens of thousands and marketing it heavily.

It wouldn’t be for a few decades after this when the Model 311 became much more popular than it had originally been. This rise in popularity was two fold, first being the massively reduced cost making it available to a wider customer base and second being its ease of modification.

These two factors led the Model 311 to becoming popular with pirates, mercenaries and criminals who bought them cheap from the black market and began to modify them with a wide variety of parts, some legal but many more illegal, and would either sell them for a mark up or use them, marking a more popular time for the 311.
