[Boba Fett had a rifle]

He also lived thousands of years in the future. The rifle-fu technique for Bounty Hunters isn't fully developed yet.

 

Neither has the Blaster-kata discipline.

 

In all seriousness though, they have carbines in the game, but I have yet to see anyone use them. It's all either blaster rifles, assault cannons, or pistols.

 

I know smugglers can use shotguns/scatterguns, and granted, the thought of a blaster shotgun makes me smile every time I think of it (This is my LASER BOOMSTICK!!!)....but what class was given the option to use carbines?

Agents use a sniper/knives...I think that's fitting, don't you? Just because some character with about 30 minutes of screen time and the worst death in all of movie history has a rifle you think BH's should all use rifles? If you want rifles go play a trooper.

 

Technically...it was a blaster carbine, not a rifle.
