STRENGTHS

• Stopping Power: The Merzoidian Blaster Carbine's Sanguine Power Cell gives the weapon good stopping power and allows it to deal heavy damage.
• Reliable: The Merzoidian Blaster Carbine has been manufactured to the highest degree of quality possible, making it a supremely reliable weapon.
• Detector: The use of Homogoni Wood in the construction of the Merzoidian Blaster Carbine allows the weapon to gently vibrate in the presence of Force Users, though not to the degree that it throws off the user's aim.
• Jack of all trades: The Merzoidian Blaster Carbine is designed to be useful in nearly every type of conceivable combat situation.

WEAKNESSES

• Clunky reload: Reloading the weapon's power cell can be a clunky and awkward process, as the user must flip the weapon upside down and open up a plate on the buttstock to access the power cell.
• Master of none: The Merzoidian Blaster Carbine is not as useful as specialized weapons in certain combat situations, such as at extreme range or close quarters combat.
• Full Nullification: When under the effects of Force Nullification, the weapon will no longer vibrate in the presence of Force Users, though its combat effectiveness remains unaffected.
• Humble: Compared to other Merzoidian weapons, the Merzoidian Blaster Carbine is more subtly designed, and may not display the user's wealth and status as readily as other Merzoidian weaponry.

DESCRIPTION

From a cultural standpoint, most Merzoidians tend to embrace pacifism, as they had few enemies to fight during their long history of self imposed isolation from the galaxy. That being said, it was not as if blaster and weapons technology were unknown to the Merzod People. Instead, most Merzoidians tended to see blasters as just another medium to express their creativity and artistic ability, which can be seen in the craftsmanship of their blaster pistols.

Of course, this remains true of their blaster carbines as well, and the Merzoidian Blaster Carbine is no exception. While undoubtedly still a work of out, the design features of the Merzoidian Blaster Carbine are more subtle than other Merzoidian created examples, and may appeal to a different set of people who wish to still display their wealth and power in a less ostentatious manner.

The real draw of the weapon is not its features or artistry, but rather its unique ability. Because the weapon is constructed primarily of Homogoni wood, it actually vibrates gently in the presence of Force Users, though not to the degree that the user's aim is thrown off. This allows anyone using the weapon to quickly determine if their foes or allies can use the Force, though this ability becomes unavailable under Force Nullification.

Regardless, the Merzoidian Blaster Carbine is a must have, and has a variety of practical combat applications regardless of situation, though more specialized weaponry will offer superior performance to the Merzoidian Blaster Carbine in more niche combat situations.
