DC-15S Blaster Carbine

The DC-15S blaster was the blaster carbine variant of BlasTech's DC-15 blaster rifle. This weapon was carried by the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

Smaller in scale than the DC-15A rifle, the DC-15S lacked its larger cousin's range, but was easier to handle than the bulkier "A" variant. The DC-15S also featured a folding stock for enhanced aiming with braced firing. DC-15 blasters fired charged plasma bolts, activated by Tibanna gas carried in replaceable blaster cartridges. These gas cartridges lasted for around 500 shots, depending on the weapon's power settings.

In addition to the standard model, there was also an "elite" version, an advanced model issued only to the best of the infantry ranks. It was more powerful, more accurate, and more damaging than the standard version.

The DC-15S was widely used during the Clone Wars, though most notably in the conflict's final days. The design of the DC-15S would later be enhanced by BlasTech for the introduction of the E-11 blaster rifle, commonly known as the "stormtrooper rifle".
