Since the tight confines of shipboard fighting don't lend themselves well to distance or precision shooting, the Marines of the Katarina needed a weapon that traded range for stopping power and penetration. The Light Weight Repeating Carbine boosts the energy of particles contained in each shot at the cost of the bolt losing cohesion faster than normal. The hungry gun is fed by an over-sized diatium power cell that also holds the gas needed for the number of shots provided, simplifying supply logistics but increasing the cost of each magazine.
The LWRC itself shares several similarities with a submachine gun, small, lightweight, with few protrusions to snag on obstacles, yet it retains its classification for the power of each individual bolt. Its short length and folding stock lend themselves to cramped quarters and its high rate of fire can quickly cut through an ambush or spray down a room of hostiles.
Like the DL-44, a quick pulse warns the user when each pack is running low on energy and a low-power stun setting would knock a typical humanoid out for about ten minutes, repeated use tends to cause muscle cramps and prolonged headaches on those kept under by such methods.
