(PROSE: The Two Doctors) They were wand-like weapons that emitted charged particles to kill their enemies. The weapon also had some capacity to penetrate armour. The carbine could be set to stun as well as kill. A safety catch was set into the butt of the weapon to prevent the carbine from being accidentally discharged.
