Does anyone know of an attachment to increase a carbine with medium range out to long or even extreme? I'm open to flat changes or even granting talents (sniper shot, etc).

Thanks

Wouldn't that basically just be a blaster rifle?

Yes, but I'm going for a more versatile character who swaps out attachments for different situations. I'd like to use a carbine as the basis.

what about putting a folding stock on a rifle?

Interested to see responses here - i went with a Dragoon pistol on one of my characters because it could be upgrade to a carbine but like the idea of a carbine that could easily be turned into a sniper rifle...

You are the GM? Because if so I would actually just make up my own attachment.

HIGH VELOCITY BLASTER BARREL ADAPTER

Base Modifiers: Extends the Range of a Rifle or Carbine by one category. Adds an automatic Threat when used at Engaged range.

Modification Options: 2 Weapon Quality (Accurate +1) mods

Hard Points Required: 2

Price: 1450 cr Rarity: 5

Look at Cassian Andor's blaster from the Allies and Adversaries book for a weapon that changes between configurations.

A few ideas that come to my mind:

A) You could use the DDC-MR6 Modular Rifle (Special Modifications). It comes with a base range of only medium and is made to exchange attachments on the fly and has a lot of hard points. Just narrate it as a carbine/ carbine-like weapon.

B) Modify your armor with a range finder (Dangerous Covenants) to get a rank of the sniper shot talent.

C) Adapt the crafting rules a little bit to craft your own long range carbine.

Now that you say it, there is also the convertible heavy blaster pistol in Cyphers and Masks, but I am not sure if Ahrimon wants to use ranged (light).

Well, you could do the Pistol to Carbine...

I was going for using the DC-15A for my clone officer and having some options to swap out attachments between scenes but not back at their base for different parts of a mission. I may just look into the armor attachment.

Which is what the dragoon is.

You have a hard-hitting weapon with Auto-fire and only ENC 3. If you want more range, just use the standard heavy blaster rifle (but be prepared to give up Stun Setting).

There isca folding stock attatment. And slings
