I highlighted the "known" weapons in yellow and the reference to the LD-1 in red.
From the old Tech post I stickied. I found this interesting.
Merr-Sonn M-435 Death Sledge Advanced Blaster Rifle
The companion longarm of the new M-434 Death Hammer blaster pistol, the Merr-Sonn M-435 Death Sledge Advanced Blaster Rifle is actually meant to be a basic grunt rifle. At this time, however, it is seeing service mostly as a sharpshooter and marksman rifle. It has the longer range normally associated with less powerful weapons, the power of the famous BlasTech A280 and is tougher than a pourstone brick.
The only real drawbacks are the price and the energy consumption rate. The higher price is due to the cutting edge technology incorporated into the weapon. The energy consumption rate is unavoidable at this time, but later versions of the M-435 are expected to improve in this area as the technology involved improves. The only rifle on the market that comes anywhere near the M-435 in all areas is the BlasTech EKX-10.
The M-435 is 84.3 cm in length, mounted with a fixed stock and comes with a passive, light enhancing scope mounted on top of the barrel that provides +2 to hit if used to help aim for one round and up to +4 if used in low-light conditions. The power pack, which provides enough energy for 60 shots, is inserted into its housing in front of the trigger guard.

*wicked* Should I start remodelling my proposal to include this rifle instead of the one I proposed?
BlasTech P-11 Blaster Rifle
The BlasTech P-11 Blaster Rifle is a true sharpshooter's weapon. It is based off of the E-11 rifle, but this only goes as far as the rough appearance and general maintenance procedures. Being 1.35 meters in length, it is nearly 50% longer than the E-11/M and much more accurate (+2 to hit on all attacks). It is fitted with a heavy, fixed stock that can be adjusted for a perfect fit to the shooter. Similar adjustability exists in the redesigned pistol grip in that it has a significant swell at the base of it to lessen hand fatigue during long periods of use. A gap of three millimeters exists between the barrel and the forearm so that the barrel's harmonics are not disrupted. In fact, there is only one place that the barrel is touched by anything, and that is where it fits into the receiver. The entire trigger group and interior workings have been precision fitted to each other, with tolerances of ±0.0001 millimeters being the norm in some locations.
The P-11 primarily uses specially made "match" power packs manufactured by BlasTech (80 credits each) that not only grant enough energy for 100 shots, they give the weapon a range 33% greater than the E-11 without losing on-target energy or capacity. The P-11 is also capable of using standard power packs in emergencies, but they are not as efficient (only 50 shots each) or as powerful as the match-grades. Another interesting note regarding the match power packs is that they do not increase performance in any other weapon than the P-11.
The rifle is fitted with the same scope as the Sharpshooter V and may be used with a heavy tripod (available from BlasTech for 100 credits) that supports the full weight of the weapon.
The P-11 is in special issue with elite units of the Empire, the Sector Rangers and some local police agencies, such as CorSec. The weapon's accuracy has made it one of the choice weapons for dealing with hostage takers and other criminals behind barricades. Too delicate for standard field use, it comes with a heavy durasteel case (Hardness: 15, Wound Points: 24, Weight Filled: 25 kg) for transportation. This holds the P-11, the tripod and 6 match-grade power packs. It is heavily padded, with the entire package having a 90% survivability rating if dropped from an altitude of 100 meters onto bedrock on a standard gravity world.
Merr-Sonn SX-451 Heavy Sniper Rifle
The Merr-Sonn SX-451 Heavy Sniper Rifle is one of the premier heavy sniper rifles on the market today. It is closer to a piece of light artilery than it is to a personal weapon. The mission of the SX-451 is to destroy material, vehicles and crew-served weapons from a distance, usually outside of the enemy's perimeter. It is also being used by law enforcement authorities to neutralize armed criminals who are hiding behind cover capable of stopping a lesser shot, to destroy explosive devices where they lay and to disable a felon's escape vehicle.
Having the range and power of the famous BlasTech E-Web heavy repeating blaster, the SX-451 is not a small weapon. It is nearly two meters long and 15 kilograms in weight, making it unsuitable for all but a few specialized missions.
For transportability, the rifle breaks down into four pieces (barrel and scope, bipod, action and stock) and packs into a case or a specially-built packframe. Reassembly takes about a minute, with no special tools (just a credit chip, screwdriver or other similar tool). The scope is built under license from BlasTech, as it utilizes the thermal, ultraviolet and passive light enhancement composite image systems normally found on such weapons as the Sharpshooter V and the AT-1 rifles, while improving on the haze and smoke filters. Unfortunately, due to the power, the capacitors in the trigger group must be quite powerful, but compact for portability. The trade off with this is a 20 second recharge time on the firing mechanism.
Prax Arms Model AFD-43 "Sniper" Blaster Rifle
The Prax Arms Model AFD-43 "Sniper" Blaster Rifle is a unique model of blaster rifle. The one feature that makes it unique is the way gas is compressed through a manually-controlled pumping system. Even though pumping the gas helps increase the rifle's damaging power and range, the requirement reduces its rate of fire to one shot every 5-7 seconds on average and doubles the amount of power pack energy used per shot.
The pumping action slowly increases the amount of damage for each shot. At the same time, each action used to pump increases the range increment by 2 meters to a maximum of 40 meters. Three attack actions is the maximum amount of time that can be spent pumping; any more will cause the rifle to explode. Once two actions are spent pumping, the amount of energy used for the shot is doubled.
The "Sniper" is 1.1 meters in length and comes with a fixed stock and mounting for a scope. The power pack, normally able to provide energy for 15 shots, is housed in front of the trigger guard. Accessories available for the "Sniper" from Prax are a bipod and a special sight, both of which are available for 250 credits each. Use of the bipod grants the wielder a bonus of +2 to hit. The sight zooms in on the target and increases accuracy (raise the range increment by 2 meters) when it used for one round to help aim.
SoroSuub EZ-Snap 48sR Sniper Blaster Rifle
Designed with sales to the Empire in mind, the SoroSuub EZ-Snap 48sR Sniper Blaster Rifle is a very high quality rifle with an exceptional level of inherent accuracy. Using a ground breaking ion sheath for increased bolt cohesion, the 48sR has a range and power on target superior to that of most blasters. The ion sheath creates the unexpected bonus of marginally improving the blaster's performance against ray shielding.
The 48sR also utilizes an active targeting system to further improve each shot's accuracy (+4 to hit when aiming). Because it is an active system, it can be easily detected by most passive light enhancement and sensor systems.
SoroSuub X-45 "Sniper" Blaster Rifle
The SoroSuub X-45 "Sniper" Blaster Rifle is the result of the company's attempts to make an economical precision rifle. The weapon is considered pitiful at best by most races throughout the galaxy. The stock is too short for anyone except Sullustans, Jawas or any other race of similar size. The rifle has no provision for mounting a bipod, has poor ergonomics and a laughable range when compared to other rifles of like power. On top of all that, the scope is of a generation of electrical image enhancement that predates the first skirmishes of the Clone Wars.
The X-45 is often sold as a sporting weapon (along with slip-on stock extensions, which can be purchased from SoroSuub) and sees usage only among the most desperate private military units
