Sniper droideka

The sniper droid, also known as the sniper droideka, was a sniper variation of droideka used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics
Designed for urban warfare in a city where the droid could easily conceal itself, the sniper droideka was equipped with a single heavy blaster rifle rather than paired dual blaster cannons seen on standard droideka models. Their rate of fire was also slower, but provided much more penetrating power. They were designed with a highly advanced targeting computer and were extremely accurate. They were capable of speaking in both binary and Basic.

History
One such droid was used during the Battle of Kiros.

A pair of such droid was used during the Battle of Kiros where they were used to defend a bomb from Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. Initially, the two Jedi attempted to deflect their weapon fire back at the droids but their front sections were armored to protect them from such an attack. However, Jedi General Skywalker determined that the droids lack such protection on their sides which saw him and his Padawan deflect the sniper droid fire at their sides thus destroying them.
