AAP-IV blaster box

The AAP-IV Blaster Box was a harness-mounted blaster weapon device produced by the Briletto Company and, unlike the similar reciprocating quad blaster cannon, designed specifically to be used by droids. Each AAP-IV consisted of a main barrel attached to a harness typically worn on a droid's chest but could be strapped to many shapes and sizes of droid. It was used to relatively cheaply weaponize droids that lacked in-built weapon systems or were not created for combat. It's most notable appearance was when a rogue Z-X3 Experimental Droid Trooper attempted to usurp control of Droid World.
