BlasTech Industries was an arms manufacturer. It notably produced the E-11 blaster rifle used by the Galactic Empire as well as the DH-17 blaster pistol and the DL-18 blaster pistol. Ezra Bridger's speeder bike was equipped with twin JB-37 blaster cannons manufactured by BlasTech.[6] BlasTech also manufactured the DL-44 heavy blaster pistol favored by Han Solo.[1]

During the Age of the Empire, BlasTech established a weapons laboratory in the Easthills near the planet Lothal's Capital City.[7] In order to circumvent treaty restrictions on major corporations selling armaments to the First Order, BlasTech jointly spun off a subsidiary with Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. to operate within the borders of the First Order. This subsidiary, Sonn-Blas Corporation, manufactured the majority of First Order weaponry. BlasTech also created the EL-16 blaster some time between the Battle of Endor and the rise of the First Order.[1]

Pistols of Blastech

Over the lifespan BlasTech Industries, countless models and designs blaster pistols was conceived and produced. From the hard hitting DL-44 heavy blaster pistol to the "light" EC-17 hold-out blaster. And countless others, for stat-owned and private use. In fact the Automatic DH-17 blaster pistol proved so successful that both army[3][8] and navy personnel of both Alliance and Imperial Military used the model during the Galactic Civil War.[9]

Stat business

Major state contracts were a major source of revenue for Blastech. Blaster weaponry such as the DC-17 (clone war),[3] SE-14r (Galactic Civil War)[10] and the SE-44C (First Order–Resistance war),[1] among others, were used extensively during their respective Galactic wars.

Multi-purpose blasters

Blue Glass Arrow Main article: Reconfigurable blaster

BlasTech industries manufactured and most likely designed several blaster models which could be configured into an unspecified number of roles. The Alliance to Restore the Republic used the A180 and A280-CFE. Both could be configured into a sniper rifle, assault rifle and blaster pistol.[11]

The highly popular DL-44 heavy blaster pistol could be turned into a pistol carbine, with the addition of an extended barrel and a shoulder stock.[12]

The company also sold reconfigurable blasters which could not reduced to a pistol. The A-300 blaster rifle could remove the long air-cooled barrel-shroud and the shoulder stock to allow for greater movement. A collapsing barrel could be pulled out to allow for greater accuracy without the need for previously mentioned heavy barrel.[11]
