The DC-15A blaster rifle[7] was the standard blaster rifle of the Republic clone troopers,[1] elite soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic.[8] A variant of the DC-15 was later used by Purge Troopers of the Galactic Empire.[6] A version with a wooden stock was the standard weapon of the Senate Commandos. It was a larger, heavier and more powerful long-range alternative to the DC-15A blaster carbine.[1]
The blaster used replaceable tibanna gas cartridges for ammunition, and set on low power the blaster could fire up to five hundred shots of plasma bolts.[1] Some versions were made fully automatic.
The DC-15LE was a variant of the DC-15 that could be modified for long-range engagements or to shoot explosive blaster bolts.
Another variant is the DC-15x sniper rifle that can deal more damage, but contains fewer shots.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The DC-15 blaster rifle is based on the design of the German MG34 machine gun, which was used during World War II.[9]
