===Pulse Carbine===

Now this is the smallest Pulse gun you may hold your trigger with (at least without melting down the Pistol or the Blaster breaking your shoulder).

The Pulse Carbine exchanges the range enjoyed by the Pulse Rifles for more Dakka. Aside from the reduced range which is almost half, it also looks like a sawn-off Pulse Rifle as the Pulse Carbine is more compact as the name suggests – a shorter barrel goes a long way in portability. The Pulse Carbine seems to be exclusively used by the Tau over the suicidal infantry section that has to close in in order to use this gun. Tau personnel who are not infantry such as vehicle crew does not seem to have access to the Pulse Carbine, being stuck with a small (''but still deadly'') sidearm that is the Pulse Pistol above.

Available as an alternative for Strike Teams, for the Pathfinder Teams and also Darkstrider, the size of the Pulse Carbine makes it perfect for their mode of operation whose keyword is scouting. The smaller size also makes room for a Markerlight or an underslung grenade launcher for Photon Grenades. Outside of [[Fire Warrior]]s, the Pulse Carbine also sees plenty of application by the [[Gun Drone|Gun Drones]] in a pair, while [[Exploratory Drone|Exploratory Drones]] are one Pulse Carbine short since it probably needs more juice diverted to additional equipment to help in exploration such as sensors. After all, it is supposed to look at stuffs like Space Hulks, not shoot stuffs up like mean and green football hooligans. In Layman's terms, an assault rifle for the Tau.

In the ''All Guardsman Party'', they are a favored weapon due to the punch and full auto. They were disguised as lasguns, but as of the latest, they lost them.
