The Mk19 gives a nice set of stats to use for a crew served concussion grenade launcher like the one on the AT-ST.

The damage should read 7D+2 and be character scale.

I assume you're compensating for the lack of bi/tri pod and the fact that it's being carried with an incredibly heavy back pack generator.

Heh, you should buy a power droid to attach your blaster to. I can see it as your sidekick, waddling into battle with it's battle cry:

"GONK!"

It's not a particularly large repeater, it's certainly not an E-Web. The gun itself looks lighter than a 1919 or a SAW, it's the generator backpack that's going to be the problem. I'd up the cost or restriction as it's a modified weapon.

This gun is still kicking around after all:

One interesting thing about ammo: 1E has that you don't even keep track, and although we do in our game, nobody has ever come close to using all of their ammo before.

This leads me to believe it might even be better to simply stop keeping track, just to keep the game moving faster. If there was a particularly long firefight with 2R&E, the GM could always use a "1" result on the wild die to have a character run out of ammo.

Often that is what i have happen on a complication with blasters.. The power pack runs out or drops out..

Though technically you should also be changing out the gas packs as well as the power packs.

I'm asking players to keep track on their ammo. For normal blaster pistols and rifles it's not important (100 ammo is a lot), but in case of heavy pistols (25 ammo), repeaters (my HRs say that one repeater "shot" takes 6 ammo) or hold-outs/disruptors (just few rounds of ammo) it's more important.

Anyways, I like your idea of complication

Thanks.. Some players have gotten used to it happening they hold a spare one in their off hand, so when it comes up, they can quickly slap a new one in..
