The Geonosian carbine was the carbine version of the Geonosian sonic blaster. It worked on the same principles, firing sonic blasts as opposed to blaster bolts. One of these weapons—dubbed the "CY-M carbine"—was used by the CY-M Prototypedroid.
The Kalranoos carbine was a hybrid design based on the Geonosian carbine, this gun was mostly used for show and had very bad performance.
The Geonosian carbine appeared in the video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online-role playing game developed by Sony and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.
