E-5 blaster rifle

"Listen up rookies! Here is our new, standard laser rifle, the E-5 blaster rifle, the standard rifle of our Separatist allies, they have kindly supplied us with thousands of them to help us in our fight for the Separatist cause, a nice little rifle, powerful and light, but also kinda inaccurate, so try and make your first shot count! Note that Jedi have been shown to be to deflect laser bolts back at their originators, so we're keeping stocks of our old bullet rifles in order to take the Jedi out. You get 500 shots per battery pack with this rifle, certainly an improve of the 100-max rounds you used to get with the magazines of our old bullet rifles! Note this gun is short-barrelled and a bit fragile, and also makes a lot of heat after repeated firings, so that's why we've given you special gloves!"
