The pulse carbine is capable of fully-automatic{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} or five-round burst fire, and is designed to quickly overwhelm targets with a barrage of superheated [[plasma]] bolts. The weapon does not have the sheer accuracy of the {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}, but makes up for it with range, power and sheer fire rate.{{Ref/Game|HINF|Pulse rifle in-game weapon}} | ||
