E-Web heavy repeating blaster

Legends Canon version → Linked from 198 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The E-Web was a heavy repeating blaster manufactured by BlasTech Industries. It was one of the most powerful repeating blasters in the Imperial arsenal, and had an optimum range of one-hundred and fifty meters with a maximum range of seven-hundred and fifty meters. The full name is Emplacement Weapon, Heavy Blaster, but many users shortened this to E-Web. The original weapon was designed in a joint effort with Merr-Sonn Munitions, which produced the predecessor to the modern E-Web, the EWHB-10. Members of the Stormtrooper Corps were trained to utilize the weapon, although its mass made it being carried by a single stormtrooper impossible, mandating that it be operated by two stormtroopers: one for firing the E-Web, and another monitoring and adjusting the generator's power feed to prevent overheating.
