Autoblaster

The autoblaster was an ancient blaster cannon design used by the naval forces of the Sith Empire.

As with modern blaster cannons, the autoblaster produced a high-intensity packet of coherent light, a laser, that was propelled from the barrel at a target. However, unlike its modern equivalents, the autoblaster fired a salvo of wild bolts both hard to direct and of relatively low power.

The autoblaster was reintroduced during the Galactic Civil War, now as an updated version of blaster technology. Designed for the B-wing fighter, this modern autoblaster had an even higher rate of fire than other blasters, but was not available to other models until after the Battle of Endor.
