E-11b blaster rifle

The Blastech E-llB was a expertly and expensively modified version of the standard issue blaster used by the Imperial stormtrooper during the Galactic Civl War, which were modeled after the DC-15 series used in the Clone Wars. These weapons were often found in the hands of Alliance troops, namely in the Battle of Endor.

The original BlasTech E-11 was powerful and light, and assumably expensive due to it's popular use by the Imperial forces. Though, it's innaccuracy and the common issue of overheating were listed among the item's drawbacks. Modified by skilled Blastech and Soro-Subb armorers, now listed among those who have defected to the Rebel Alliance, the Blastech E-11B's main changes were the addition of expensive cooling units, making these weapons less likely to overheat at higher fire rates, and allowing them to be made fully automatic.

The basic E-11 and modified E-11B were 438 mm long with the folding stock folded, though the E-11B was usually seen extended. Unmodified, the E-11 weighed 2.6 kilograms. The powercell housing opened on the left side of the action housing, above the trigger, giving it a low profile. The original E-11's plasma gas cartridges allowed for over 500 shots, while the powercells lasted for about 100 shots, depending on setting. Whether this powercell or cartridge life was extended for the modifications made to create the E-11B is unknown.
