E-11 Blaster Rifle

This is the standard weapon used by the Imperial Stormtroopers. Manufactured by BlasTech, it mounts an extendible stock and quarter-centimeter aperture. Each side-mounted power pack contains energy for 100 shots at the standard energy level. The scope is able to filter out smoke on the battlefield as well as enhancing vision in low-light conditions.

With a maximum range of 300 meters and optimum range of 100 meters, it out-reaches the DH-17 Blaster Pistol three times without sacrificing the ease of use. Capable of semi-automatic, fully automatic, and pulse firing.

The E-11 was so over-produced that the Rebels managed to gain as many of these as the Empire through scavanging battle fields and stealing shipments.
