BlasTech ES-23 "ESPO Riot Gun"

This is one of the standard issue weapons of the CSA's vaunted ESPO forces, and one of the most common and popular automatic rifles in action today. Despite it's popular nickname, it is not a true riot gun. Sharing the durability and reliability of the rest of the BlasTech line, the ES-23's control layout and maintenance drill are quickly learned if one has mastered the E11 rifle or E14 carbine. The biggest difference lies in placement of the special, oversized powercell on the underside of the weapon. They are well designed, fitted with a vertical foregrip to compensate for the fact that most shot are not made with the shoulder stock. This means that it can provide an incredible amount of fire in a relatively small package. Contrary to most descriptions, it is actually no more inaccurate than an E11, and not much heavier. (These notes expand on those given in the Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook, and adapt those stats to these rules and terminology.)
