DESCRIPTION​

Blastech's E-11 platform was considered to be one of the most successful blaster designs in history. It was no surprise that when the Galactic Empire wanted a dedicated sniper rifle, the company looked to its most successful design for inspiration. The E-11s used the same frame, but incorporated a composite alloy buttstock and the barrel was double the length than a regular E-11 Blaster Rifle. The elongated barrel featured the same perforated shroud and heat-abating fins the E-11 was known for. Unfortunately, heat management problems reduced the weapon's fire rate well below that of market competitors. Other than the Empire, Blastech sold E-11s to special law-enforcement units, planetary defense forces, and permitted bounty hunters and mercenaries. The prevalence of the weapon meant they found their way onto the black market usually through salvage from battlefields or hijacked factory shipments. The gun is very effective at long range; however, it overheats relatively easily and can only shoot 6 shoots before needing a difficult, lengthy reload. Also, since few are still being produced, the version is slightly old and it is not unusual for the gun to malfunction.

LEGALITY​

Legal in most places, with some exceptions, especially in the center of the galaxy.

INTENT​

To create a standard heavy sniper rifle with a long range and a small number of shots; for example, the longblaster deals medium damage with 30 shots per power pack, while the E-11s has 6 shots and deals heavy damage; not a slug thrower.
