Designed with sales to the Empire in mind, the SoroSuub EZ-Snap 48sR is a very high quality rifle, with an exceptional level of inherent accuracy. Using a ground breaking ion sheath for increased bolt cohesion, the 48sR has superior range and power on target than most blasters. This ion sheath has had the unexpected bonus of marginally improving the performance against energy shielded targets. It uses an active targeting system, limiting it's usefulness against many targets, it is intended to be used by marksmen in support of an ongoing battle. When used as a "covert" weapon, this feature can be a give away to the target, as any simple light amplifying system could notice this. It is also not very power efficient, with the specialized powercelss being emptied after six shots, and the blaster gas reserve being exhausted after thirty to thirty-five. Designed to break down into three pieces, the EZ-Snap comes with an armoured case that has foam cutouts for an adtitional three powercells and a cleaning kit.
The SoroSuub Disposable is Gamorean simple. It is a single-shot, non-reloadable weapon. It is cocked by unfolding the grip from the body of the tube, and fired by pulling the trigger. It is available in smoke, WP, fragmentation and stun loads. The sight is a simple, flimsy ladter, that is cammed into position by extending the grip, and a self-luminescent front blade. The instructions are printed in Basic, Sullustian and the 3 most common synthetic trade languages, and in cartoon form for illiterates, on the body of the launcher. It doesn't get much more basic than this.
A compact piece of ordinance, the FastShot is designed to be used by those you need a LOT of firepower in a small package. Although it's bolt is a little underpowered by most standards, a burst from this puppy will drop nearly anything at point blank range. As such, it has become popular with some body guard organizations and counter-terrorist/hostage rescue teams. Following the basic lines of the traditional blaster pistol, the FastShot differs from he traditional control placement, with he safety being located above the trigger itself, and has ambidextrous levers.
In the fixed gun role, it can fired from the integral bipod, or mounted to a wide variety of pintal and tripod mounts, meaning that it can be used as a commander's gun on armoured vehicles, or as a door gun on airial transports. In this role, it has seen a great deal of useage mounted on HMRVs, plugged into the vehicle's power generator, and is often fitted with night vision, thermal imaging or telescopic sighting systems.
In the infantry role, it's fixed stock and bipod are essential. Meant to be fired from the bipod due to weight, the RB-407 is capable of being fired like a big rifle by a strong enough individual. In this role, it is usually used by a two man team of a gunner and rafleman/ammo bearer, equipped with a small, portable generator.
Despite this versatility, it has earned the unenviable nickname of "pig", due to it's reputation for being temperamental (all of these problems are corrected by using proper ammunition and maintenance procedures) and it's considerable weight.

Using the same rockets as their famed Firestorm-1, the Tank
Hunter is cheaper, more packable version. Consisting of collapsible tube
and a folding sight assembly, the Tank Hunter is one of the most compact
Light Anti-Armour Weapons (LAAWs) on the market. The rocket is
dlloaded into the launch tube at the factory. When the user wishes to fire
the Tank Hunter, he simply removes the safety pin, extends the tube, sights
and dlsses the firing button. After that, the tube is disposable, with he
ignition mechanism is reduced to slag by the heat of the exhaust. Available in
several different styles of warhead, the Tank Hunter is rapidly becoming a
common sight on the modern battle field.SoroSuub Tank Hunter Disposable Rocket
