T-21 light repeating blaster

The T-21 light repeating blaster is a military-grade repeating blaster rifle produced by BlasTech Industries and used extensively during the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War.
== Description ==
The T-21 is among the heaviest and one of the most powerful standard-issue weapons that can be carried by a single soldier. The sheer power of this weapon's bolts can cut through personal armor, break down personal energy shields, and even penetrate the armor plating of many light combat vehicles. It can be wielded two-handed and fired on the move, however, for superior accuracy an extendable bipod is included for stationary firing.
The T-21 is fed by a top-mounted power pack with sufficient energy capacity for 200 shots and has a maximum fire rate of 600 rounds per minute. When employed from a fixed position as part of a defensive emplacement the weapon is typically mounted on a tripod and fed by a portable fusion generator, allowing for a theoretically infinite ammunition capacity, however sustained fire for long periods of time runs the risk of melting the weapon's internal components, mandating the use of controlled bursts.
== History ==
Clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic carried T-21s into battle during the Clone Wars, and the weapon was carried over in the transition from Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire. It was a common squad support weapon for both Stormtrooper Corps fireteams and Imperial Army trooper squads. Due to its portability, it was also popular with the Rebel Alliance, and later the New Republic.
