KA74 blaster rifle

The KA74 blaster rifle was a blaster rifle used by Cobb Vanth and later by Jo. The rifle was light but fired with powerful blasts, which were a good match for quick-drawing.
==Description==
Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the KA74 blaster rifle was a heavy blaster rifle of the KA74 model. The weapon had a light heft. Nonetheless, the blaster also fired powerful shots. The combination of its light weight design and strong fire-power resulted in a blaster rifle that was useful as a quick-draw weapon, which made it ideal for sheriffs like Cobb Vanth.
==History==
As marshal and mayor of the settlement Freetown on the planet Tatooine, the lawman Cobb Vanth made use of a KA74, which became the man's signature weapon, though he also owned and wielded a HF-94 heavy blaster pistol. Vanth once wielded his rifle against Tusken Raiders. He later used the blaster alongside the Tuskens in the effort to destroy a massive leviathan krayt dragon in 9 ABY.Star Wars: Timelines
Another resident of Freetown, Jo, made use of Vanth's blaster rifle during the Battle of Mos Espa, in which a Freetown volunteer militia allied with the Fett gotra in order to repel the Pyke Syndicate from Tatooine.
==Behind the scenes==
According to Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy, Vanth used his KA74 against the bounty hunter Cad Bane during the showdown in Freetown, but "Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger" shows Vanth instead used his blaster pistol.
