Thread: THE T-21
The Blastech T-21 Light Repeating Blaster is an Imperial blaster used for jobs where a standard rifle would be inadequate. The T-21 is more powerful then the standard E-11 and is a common support weapon for stormtrooper armies. Most artillery squads have at one soldier armed with a T-21 to provide cover for other troops as they prepare heavy-duty artillery weapons, such as the E-Web. Due to it's portability, the T-21 was issued to Rebel Squads, and it is still used by New Republic units.
The T-21 is actually one of the weaker artillery weapons. Heavy and Medium blasters have much more firepower than the T-21; however, they are often bulky and require more then a single person to operate. The heavy and medium blaster often take several minutes the set up of disassemble, and hence are unpopular.
The T-21, however, is designed for mobility and ease of use. The weapon can be set up, with it's belt carried tripod and 20 kilogram backpack generator within 30 seconds. If necessary, the blaster can also be fired by a two-handed soldier for extra mobility, however, the tripod significantly improved accuracy. The tripod can be fully extended to act as an artillery weapon, but it can also be partially extended for sniper attacks. The T-21 has an exceptional range as well, with a maximum distance of 300 meters and an optimum range of 150 meters. Rebel squads used T-21s to eliminate weapon emplacements and to provide over for advancing infantry.
The T-21 can be powered by power packs or generators. The power packs provide very little energy, giving the weapon sufficient power for twenty-five shots. The continuous-feed power generator, normally carried as a backpack, give the T-21 potentially unlimited firing capabilities. However, the generator's low cooling capacity force the T-21 to fire at a rate of 1 shot per second.
The T-21 has proved to be invaluable in infantry battles. The T-21 wields power to cut through armour troops used by Stormtroopers or break down force fields. T-21s can also break through armour plating used on light combat vehicles, such as landspeeders. An experienced gunman can use the T-21 to eliminate enemy squads in seconds.

Sony will add a belt tripod etc but goof and give it 30 range and fire at 11 seconds per shot hehe, AS usual.
Yeah... but if they did that the game would be unbalanced and pistoleers would need a weapon to make up for it.... an 11 shot per second pistol with AP3.... just to balance Riflemen and Pistoleers
hahah!! yes we have to think of the pistols ... (they look really cool along with a sword hanging above my fire place)
