=== Lascarbine ===

During the [[Great Crusade]] the Lascarbine was the great grandfather of the Lasgun. Basically the same weapon as the Lasgun in a smaller package. As a carbine, it has a shorter effective range but is far more compact and easier to handle in close combat fire operations. Given the myriad of Xenos that likes to go in close and personal at that time, the Lascarbine made sense. They were standard issue among the Imperial Army.

In modern WH40k, a Lascarbine is designed for use by special operations units and is usually employed by Drop Troopers or scout units of the Imperial Guard such as the [[Elysian Drop Troops]]. Catachan troopers also use them. It could also be potentially used by Imperial Navy personnel due to its compact size, although no canon images have been confirmed.
