9118 heavy carbine

The 9118 was a heavy carbine design manufactured by the Rodian owned N'Gant-Zarvel corporation. Sporting a short barrel, the weapon was known for its ease of use, stopping power and exceptional range (for a carbine). This weapon cost 990 credits. This carbine saw its primary use in the field as the preferred service weapon of special forces and guerilla fighters, despite the loud, "thumping" sound it produced when it was fired.

Behind the scenes
The Arms & Equipment Guide incorrectly labels the image of an EE-3 carbine rifle as a N'gant-Zarvel 9118. The canonical image of the 9118 is presented above.

It appears that this weapon, at least in name, was inspired by the Mosin-Nagant rifle, a famous bolt-action rifle used by Russian troops during both World Wars. Note, especially, that '9118' is a transposition of the digits 1891, the year the Mosin-Nagant first entered service.
