My contribution to the arms bazaar:

The Striker Carbine is like the M-16/M203 combo rifle used by the armed
forces.  The ammo count is down, allowing for power to be packed into one
shot.  Cost can vary with the campaign you are running.  If a campaign with
an Imperial garrison, then the Striker is likely to be common, but ones ran
in the Outer Rim, the Striker will be scarce.  A common name for the
carbine is the Street Sweeper.  Any suggestions will be included in the
MP-20, the next model.

Capsule :
        The MP-19 was developed to aide commandos and urban assault
soldiers in clearing out a target.  Firing the grenade then charging in
firing the blaster section is the chief tactic used by the commandos.  The
folding stock is also detachable, and the use of the bayonet is optional.
