DH-17 blaster rifle

The DH-17 blaster rifle was a blaster rifle manufactured by BlasTech Industries that resembled BlasTech's blaster pistol of the same name and its carbine variant, albeit with an extended barrel and an added stock. The rifle had two firing modes: fully automatic and a charged-shot mode that was relatively unique for its time.

It served as a standard service weapon for soldiers of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. Prior to the formation of the Alliance, it was the weapon of choice for Rahm Kota's militia in their operations against the Galactic Empire. In addition, it saw service with the Bespin Wing Guard, the security forces on Cloud City. An unidentified variant or predecessor of the DH-17 blaster rifle was also used by the Royal Naboo Security Forces from the Battle of Naboo to the Imperial Era, and by the Temple Security Force during Operation: Knightfall. This variant was visually identical to the standard model, but only featured the fully automatic firing mode and fired green blaster bolts instead of red.
