SG-4 blaster rifle

The Merr-Sonn Munitions SG-4 Blaster Carbine was generally promoted as a security and police tactical response weapon. It served as a light duty weapon on some mobile planetary defense units also. Shortly before the formation of the actual Rebel Alliance, agents who would go on to become members of the Alliance posed as law enforcement officials and successfully purchased over 200,000 of these carbines. Some of these weapons were later used by rebels, with others being scattered over several secret caches. One such cache, containing over 2,000 of these weapons, was discovered by ISB agents shortly before the outbreak of anti-Imperial hostilities.
