DESCRIPTION
The EC-17 blaster pistol is a hand weapon produced by BlasTech Industries, one of the Galaxy's premier small arms manufacturers. Designed for use by scout troopers of the Galactic Empire, it is light and concealable, while still packing a punch at close range.

The EC-17 packs a decent number of features into a very small package. It can fire 25 shots from a standard power pack, with dual modes including standard light bolts and stun blasts. Unlike many holdout weapons, the EC-17 gives the option of precision shooting with a large computerized scope. Range is decent for its class, about 20 meters. Notably, rather than a trigger, the EC-17 incorporates a pressure sensor in the grip, with the wielder merely having to press with their trigger finger to fire.

Holdout weapons such as the EC-17 are uncommon in official service, although some intelligence and law enforcement agencies will issue them to their operatives. They are used by civilians, although concealable weapons such as the EC-17 typically require more stringent licensing for legal possession. They are, of course, widely used by various criminals.

LEGALITY
Restricted. Holdout blasters, being easily concealable, require extensive licensing for civilian ownership. On many worlds, possession of an unlicensed holdout blaster carries hefty legal penalties.

INTENT
To create a standard holdout blaster.
