Repeating blaster

Other forms of repeating blasters included light and heavy repeating blasters.

Characteristics

The Royal Naboo Security Forces utilized the CR-2 heavy blaster pistol, which had an extremely high rate of fire.

During the Clone Wars, the Grand Army of the Republic's clone commandos wielded the DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System, which could change between a repeating blaster rifle and an anti-vehicle grenade launcher. Some regular clone troopers also wielded the Z-6 rotary cannon, and the standard-issue DC-15A blaster rifle (as well as the bulkier DC-15LE variant) had a rapid fire setting. Other handheld rapid fire weapons fielded by major galactic armies included the E-5C wielded by Separatist heavy battle droids, the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle wielded by Imperial stormtroopers and Rebel soldiers, the RT-97C heavy blaster rifle wielded by Imperial jumptroopers, the TL-50 Heavy Repeater wielded by Imperial Special Forces, and the "Roba" M-45 repeating ion blaster wielded by Rebel gunners and later Resistance troopers.

Mounted repeating blasters such as the Galactic Empire's E-Web heavy repeating blaster cannon served as emplacement weapons with formidable firepower. Baze Malbus utilized an MWC-35c "Staccato Lightning" repeating cannon prior to the Galactic Civil War. The First Order later used the FWMB-10 repeating blaster, which could be mounted on their Light Infantry Utility Vehicles.
