E-5 blaster rifle/Legends



The standard blaster rifle of the B1 battle droid, the BAW E-5 blaster rifle was a powerful, light, but somewhat inaccurate weapon.

Description
The E-5 blaster rifle was ordered to be made by the Trade Federation for their secret new Droid Army The weapon had a large gas chamber that allowed for powerful blasts. Baktoid Armor Workshop agreed to make rifles for the Trade Federation. During the Clone Wars, E-5 blaster rifles were still used by B1 battle droids, but they were rivaled by the B2 super battle droids, which had a wrist blaster instead of a rifle, something that proved to be a more effective and versatile weapon. Suprisingly the E-5 carried the same fire power as the clone d-17 blaster rifle which is used by republic commandos and other elite units within the republic army.

Trivia

 * In Star Wars: Battlefront II, the shotguns of engineer droids and the flamethrower used by Jango Fett look like E-5 blaster rifles.
