DC-15A blaster rifle

The DC-15 blaster rifle was the weapon of choice of the Republic clone troopers of the Army of the Republic.

Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DC-series is a range of plasma weapons used during the Clone Wars. While the use of blasters frees a clone trooper from the need to carry projectile ammunition, the inherent instability of plasma gas means the DC-15 is notoriously difficult to aim. For the well-trained clones of Kamino, however, this is not a problem.

The weapon fired blue plasma bolts, foregoing the need for projectile ammunition. Though hard to aim, the blasters were deadly in the hands of the specially trained clone troopers.

Behind the scenes
The DC-15A blaster rifle that the majority of the Clone Troopers carry in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith is based off parts from the German MG-34 General Purpose Machine Gun from World War 2 and components from the BlasTech E-11 Blaster Rifle that were carried by the Imperial Stromtroopers from the original Star Wars trilogy.
