Like Judicial troopers, Republic militiamen typically wielded A-280 blaster rifles, though as was the case with their uniform, some unique Sector Militias equipped their soldiers with the same weapons as their local allied PSFs (again, referring back to the Chommell Sector Militia, where the Republic militiamen wielded
