The E-11's gas cartridges allow for a minimum of over 250 shots and maximum 500, while the power cells in it last for about 100. It combines lethality with an excellent aim in a compact design. It is manufactured by E-Tech, an Imperial subsidiary of BlasTech Industries. The E-11 blaster rifle is the standard-issue weapon for Imperial stormtroopers, replacing the DC-15 blaster rifle and DC-15S carbine.

The DLT-19 is based on the German MG-34/MG-42 machine gun. Due to its farther shooting range it is known to be used as an anti-aircraft weapon to shoot down such vehicles as the swoop bike, or even light airspeeders. The BlasTech DLT-19 is the standard-issue heavy blaster rifle carried by Imperial stormtroopers based on Tatooine. Imperial weaponry DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle Some Wookiees were known to have added extra springs for multiple shots, and during the Imperial occupation of Kashyyyk, Wookiees bolted on E-11 blaster rifles to the bottom of the bowcaster for extra firepower. These bowcasters are also capable of loading more than one quarrel into their chamber, giving them a shotgun-like effect. However, modern bowcasters seem to have an automatic cocking system, allowing any species to use them. The spring that powers the bowcaster is extremely hard to pull back, and humans are generally incapable of cocking a bowcaster. Wookiees can load their bowcasters with both standard and explosive tipped quarrels, and the bandolier across Chewbacca's chest likely holds both. The cocoon gives them an extremely high stopping power. The quarrels are surrounded by an energy cocoon while in flight, which gives them the appearance of extra-long blaster bolts. However, it actually launches "quarrels", which are energized crossbow bolts. It is a common misconception that it launches energy bolts, like a blaster. The bowcaster is the traditional weapon of the Wookiees. The weapon is also standard issue for Rebel Trooper infantry squads in Star Wars: Empire at War in desolate/city maps and lives up to its reputation for piercing blaster armour, being effective against infantry, but useless against heavy ship like armour such as tanks and dropships. The pistol in Star Wars: Battlefront is actually a DC-15s, as is the pistol used in the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series, and the Star Wars: Republic Commando video game.

The DH-17 blaster pistol was said to be used by the Galactic Republic forces in the Star Wars: Battlefront video game and in the animated TV series Star Wars: Clone Wars. (See: Star Wars Galaxies: Ruins of Dantooine) The weapon is also favored by forces in ground combat. It is primarily designed for ship use, where it can pierce blaster armor although not a ship's hull. The BlasTech DH-17 is a weapon used by both the Imperial Navy and Rebel Alliance/New Republic Navy officers. This weapon is standard issue for Rebel Troopers in Star Wars: Empire at war in forest maps.ĭH-17 blaster pistol File:DH-17 blaster.jpg In addition, the Arms and Equipment Guide for the d20 Star Wars RPG describes (and illustrates) the A280 quite differently than seen in The Empire Strikes Back.

The Star Wars CCG released by Decipher, however, denotes the rifles carried by Echo Base troopers as BlasTech A295 rifles, and the Endor Moon rifles as A280. The A-280 seems to be able to be produced as a rifle or carbine as seen in Episode V (The Empire Strikes back) during the Battle of Hoth when the rebels gather in the trenches, as there are many different types of blasters. The A-280 blaster rifles that were seen in the hands of the Rebel Alliance commandos in Return of the Jedi appeared to be a mixture of the original A-280 blaster rifles from The Empire Strikes Back and A-280s that were built from parts and components from the M-16/ AR-15 series rifles, especially parts and components from Colt Commando rifles. The BlasTech A-280 blaster rifle prop that was seen in The Empire Strikes Back was built from the World War II-era German Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle. The A-280 blaster rifle was seen in the hands of Rebel Alliance soldiers during the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, as well as in the hands of Rebel Alliance commandos during the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. The BlasTech A-280 blaster rifle is the standard-issue blaster rifle among the soldiers of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic.
