E-5 Blaster Rifle

The standard blaster rifle of the OOM and B1 battle droids, the E-5 blaster rifle was a powerful, light, but somewhat inaccurate weapon.

The E-5 blaster rifle was ordered to be made by the Trade Federation for their Droid Army The weapon had a large gas chamber that allowed for powerful blasts. Baktoid Armor Workshop agreed to make the rifles. During the Clone Wars, E-5 blaster rifles were still used by B1 battle droids, but they were rivaled by the B2 super battle droids, which had a wrist blaster instead of a rifle, something that proved to be a more effective and versatile weapon.

Surprisingly, the E-5 carried the same firepower as the clone trooper DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System, which was used by clone commandos and other elite units within the Grand Army of the Republic.
