The double-barreled blaster carbine was a potent blaster weapon, compact enough to be hidden beneath baggy garments. Differing from a standard blaster carbine, this double-barreled version lacked an autofire capability, but it featured a "double shot" setting, enabling the simultaneous firing of two shots to cover a broader target area.
Additionally, the double-barreled carbine included a short-range stun mode, allowing the user to alternate between firing stun blasts and lethal shots, although the stun setting's effective range was capped at just 9 meters. Functionality of the double-barreled blaster carbine depended on a power pack; each power pack allowed for 50 shots before requiring replacement. Acquiring this weapon cost 1,200 credits, but its possession and application were subject to local governmental control.
The double-barreled carbine was particularly popular among individuals residing on the societal fringe. Cade Skywalker possessed a custom double-barreled blaster carbine that had been modified specifically for him by head mechanic and former Jedi, "Bantha" Rawk.
