DC-17h blaster pistol

The DC-17h blaster pistol was a heavy blaster pistol model introduced to the Grand Army of the Republic in the final year of the Clone Wars. It was used almost exclusively by ARC troopers as a sidearm, though it was also seen in the hands of clone commandos. The weapon was nearly identical in design to the DC-17 hand blaster, though was only capable of firing up to eight heavy blaster bolts before it's power cell had to be reloaded due to the pistol's extreme power output. The pistol's tibanna gas cartridge, on the contrary, was reloaded once every 150 shots. Much like its predecessor, the DC-17, the DC-17h was largely phased out of service among military forces after the Republic's transition into the Galactic Empire, though it was occasionally used by field agents of the Imperial Security Bureau. Naastau, a Mandalorian Supercommando, owned a stolen set of modified DC-17h blaster pistols during the Galactic Civil War which he occasionally used in his raids.
