Do you think the carbine will be duelable. I think it is compacted plasma that uncompacts . When its at short range and hits something it makes an explosion because of the force. Also, since plasma is normally slow and the barell is long i think that it will go 2x as fast. What do you think?

I think the carbine will shoot thin sheets of plasma kinda like the needles but way faster and more powerful. It could be dualable because the elites in the screenshots hold it in one hand but i could also be held like the BR. or the carbine will be like the BR because the covie rifle is already dualwieldable

Ironically the picture that dipicts the Carbine shows a rifle that is fairly large(and complicated i might add) for a carbine. I doubt it will be dual weildable based on this, but a cyborg shouldnt have a problem dualing them with it cyborg strength.

Yes, considering a "Carbine" is defined as a rifle that has been shortened and compact that Plasma Carbine is quite large isn't it.

I would also add, strength is not the limiting factor when considering dual wielding, it is recoil. You must reflexively exert that strength in just the precise amount to counter the effects of the recoil. Too much strength and you overcompensate for the recoil which is as bad or worse.

So, sure you could fire two large sized rifles, the chief has better then average reflexes and tremendous strength but it's still almost impossible to fight the two guns jumping and bouncing in different directions at once in each of his hands.
