The Last Resort microblaster is a marvel of engineering. Designed for those that must always be armed, but can not reveal that they are armed, even to those security officials who run the check point, the Last Resort is nearly undetectable to an active sensor search or frisk, and invisible to passive sensors. A four shot, ultra short range weapon, the Last Resort is common with couriers and corporate agents. There is even a Kewokian Monkey-Lizard in the employ of the Rebellion who uses an upgraded one as a sidearm (this a rumor only, and should be taken with a grain of salt). To minimize size, the powercell is internally mounted as a piece of the frame, and the gas chamber hold just enough gas for four shots. After these are expended, it must be refilled by the user, which costs around 60 credits from a certified BlasTech dealer or service shop.

The Persuader is a compact, yet quite powerful blaster pistol
designed as a backup and concealed carry weapon for those who can not
afford to use a lesser weapon. Being only 16.8cm long, 2.3 cm wide and
10.2cm high, this five shot powerhouse produces wounds equal to the
much larger DL-18. It has been engineered to accept a wide variety of
sighting accessories, with integral mounting rails in fornt of the trigger
guard. As a BlasTech product, it has been designed with the utmost in
reliability, accuracy, and ease maintenance in mind. It is being evaluated by
several law enforcement agencies, including the Corellian Security Force,
and the Imperial Scouttrooper Legions. Built on the same frame, and sharing many of the same parts, as the
Persuader, the Stinger is a popular, less lethal choice in many areas. Firing
a very weak beam that succeeds only in stinging the opponent, it has
become popular with citizens in areas were owning a weapon is forbidden,
are faced with a daily criminal threat and cannot afford to go around
leaving bodies for police to find. It has, with extensive modification to the
energizing system, had some interest from couriers, as it has an incredible
ammunition capacity for such a small weapon. Return to the Armoury
The BlasTec DL-30 is one of the more popular models around, and one of the hardest to find. It is no less powerful than the DL-18 or Merr-Sonn M-44, but it is smaller. The powercell port has been moved into the butt of the pistol, and fitted with a barrel a little shorter than that of the M-44, giving it a very short overall length. This has made it popular with individuals who carry a concealed sidearm, including CorSec, the Sector Rangers and many bounty hunters. It is also one of the more common sidearms issued to Stormtroopers, and is standerd issue to Imperial Intellignece's Internal Security and Counterintelligence Branches.
Return to the Armoury
The prefeered weapon of the Master Hunter Boba Fett, the EE-6 is an
older model of rifle, but a very powerful one. Avialable with either a
folding or fixed stock, it is relatively short when compared with other
weapons of this power class, such as our DLT-19. The folding stock
version is only about 7% larger than our E11 rifle, which is noted for it's
almost carbine-like qualities. The fixed stock is more popular, as it has a
"badder", sawed off look to it. Not to mention that it is the version that
Hunter Fett is almost alwyas pictured with (that guy does more free
advertising for the arms companies than anyone else in the past century). Return to the Armoury
Combining the technology pioneered in the A280, EE-6 and
Sharpshooter V rifles, the EKX-10 is the first rifle of the next generation.
Designed to hit harder than almost any other rifle in it's range class, and have
higher ammunition capacity than it's closest competitiors, the EXK-10 is
being evaluated for service with select branches of the Stormtrooper
Legions, including the Cold Assualt legions.
Return to the Armoury
The Sharpshooter V is a direct outgrowth of the relatively new
Hunter V sporting carbine. When members of the Imperial Ordinance
Procurement Command first examined the Hunter V, they found much that
they liked. However, they wanted better throughput and coherency from
the bolt, and a better scope. Having written their findings, the samples
went to various General and Admirals as hunting guns, and a very few
where given to COMPNOR SAGroup shooting contest winners.
BlasTech
took their own initiative, and redesigned the Hunter, producing the
Sharpshooter V. They petitioned for a new trial for their weapon, and
received it through the intervention of an Advisor to the Emperor, who
enjoys target shooting.
The scope which is built directly onto the SS V is
quickly becoming the standard which all others are measured, and most
people agree the that what many call a "lack of power" is a suitable
compensation for the increased range. Sharpshooter Vs are currently a
standard issue weapon to Army Sharpshooter and Engineer units, counter-
terrorist teams from the Imperial Security Bureau, and the Sector Marshals.
The Hunter V is often used by law enforcement organizations as a
precision rifle, in an effort to minimize loss of innocent life and the
destruction of private property, and by game hunters who wish to minimize
meat and hide damage.

Hunter V's stats appear below in parenthesis.)

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. Return to the Armoury
The BlasTech ES-38 is the smaller brother of the ES-23, being
about half-way between the E-11 and DL-44 in size. Designed for close
assaults and urban combat, the ES-38 uses standard powercells, rather than
the oversized "drum"-style cells for it's big brother. To conserve
ammunition, there is no continuous fire mode, only a three-shot burst
limiter. For controllability, it has been fitted with a foregrip, in addition to the traditional pistol grip. There is no folding stock, and the iron sights are only the most rudimentary. Rather, it has been fitted with a laser aiming point projector and an illuminator, both feed off the powercell, for rapid target acquisition and identification in low light situations. With a long cloak or robes, it can be readily concealed, yet drawn and readied for firing with two seconds. The speed of the laser sight means that you don't have to hunt for the sights when repulsing a close attack. Return to the Armoury
Designed to supplement the E-WEB, the E-WAB uses the same mounts, power
generators and cooler units. While it's individual pulses are only a little
more powerfull than those of the E11, it is designed to be fired in long
bursts of those shots. It is not very common becasue of it's unique handling
characteristics and price tag. It has a cyclic rate similiar to the ES-23, but
has the advantage of being attacehd to a portable generator and cooler, giving
it what amounts to an infinate amount of ammunition. It truely gives meaning
to the term "reach out and touch someone." Return to the Armoury
The F3, and it's slightly smaller brother, the F3C, are BlasTech's
first expedition into the manufacture of flamethrowers in over a hundred
years. Being of fairly modern design, they both use a small tank of fuel that
is attached to the underside of the "barrel", and connected via a threaded
socket to a pump housed before the standard pistol grip. The F3 is the
larger of the two, and is fitted with a carrying handle/sight assembly, a
heavy insulated forearm and a full shoulder stock, along with vertically
mounted fuel bottle. The F3C is smaller, about the same size as the E11
blaster rifle, and lacks the shoulder stock and carrying handle, instead fitted
with a LED "bead"-type sight at the muzzle and a horizontally mounted
fuel bottle, eliminating the need for a forearm. It is small enough to be
fitted under the barrel of some of the larger blaster rifles, such as the
BlasTech A280 or EKX-10, or the Merr-Sonn Tracker 16, but not the
newer, carbine sized weapons such as the Stormtrooper One or the E11.
[stats for the F3C appear in brackets]
Return to the Armoury
This is one of BlasTech's first experiments in the grenade launcher
market. It has not been as successful as they might have hoped. The design
itself is an excellent one, but it uses a non-reloadable, prepacked magazine
containing proprietary, caseless rounds that can not be reloaded or fired
from anything else. In anticipation of this, BlasTech spent a large fortune
on redesigning all of the popular specialty rounds, so that all common
forms of 35×40mm ammo was copied in their 30×45mm design. Why they
did this was a mystery, but it has been done. The Starcat is meant to be
fitted under their rifles and carbines, with adapters to other major designs
available. In general it is wonderful design, but BlasTech dropped the ball
when they went to the special ammo.
Based on the famous E-Web, the V-Web is designed to disassemble
armoured vehicles. To ease in the training of your forces, BlasTech has
made the V-Web almost 90% identical to the E-Web, and it uses the same
mounts and power system. While actually only a few percentages more
powerful that the E-Web, the V-Web is designed specifically to counter
light armour. It fires a single, more concentrated tighter pulse of energy,
rather than the numerous pulses from the E-Web, sacrificing area of effect
for penetration.
