Deneban Ranch

== Overview ==
=== Purpose ===
Deneban Ranch is a holo channel dedicated to the review of blasters, firearms, or weapons overall of the galaxy. It came into existence in 16:6:13 ArS. Starting with a few hundred viewers, he has grown in popularity to have millions of fire arm, and non firearm lovers alike across the galaxy to watch each of his episodes. It is hosted by Raymon Gatwech, and takes place in very rural section of the Planet of Deneba in the Mid Rim.
=== Host ===
Raymon Gatwech is a former member of the Falliou Gaurd, of the Deneba Mounted Volunteers, joining at 17 he served through the entirety of the War on Deneba ending with the rank of Master Sergeant. Participating in many battles, he was notable for his willingness to face injury to help others, most notable is when he shielded his squad from a poorly thrown thermal detonator during the battle of Kannara, losing his left leg and scarring his abdomen. He was given much medical treatment to ensure he wouldn't be the 5th casualty of the battle, and luckily he was saved, and provided a very rudimentary prosthetic which hindered his ability to fight for the rest of the war.
After the War for Deneban Freedom came to an end with a Deneban victory the Mounted Volunteers fragmented and Gatwech left to follow his own path. He chose to take the many weapons he owned, a vast majority of his savings as well as a few pals, and bought a YT-1300 and flew to one of the least populated sections of Deneba. There he made the Holo channel "Deneban Ranch" and for the wider public, filmed his reviews of his massive collection of blasters, making money off of advertisement revenue he started buying newer and more flashy blasters, attracting even more viewers.
=== Current Condition ===
Deneban Ranch is one of the fastest growing channels on the holonet, making an estimated 29,000 credits a month excluding sponsorship deals, Raymon has found a very sustainable source of income for him and his friends.

=== Blastech E-11 (Sponsored) ===
Hey guys this is Deneban Ranch with another review, and I'm here reviewing the new Blastech E-11 Imperial standard issue rifle. 
With parts from Sorosuub and Merr-sonn, it will cost you a relatively low 1,000 credits as well as a Level 3 Imperial firearms license and certification. And there's this weird mesh of Ideology in its design and it shows. 
With Blastech and Sorosuub each and every single one of their firearms will last a decade or two without repair, but Merr-sonn throws a wrench in that idea, you may know this for supplying the Confederacy with many of their weapons, and as such in recent years their guns wont work within 6 maybe 10 months, and will hardly function period, but they're extremely cheap. 
So we have this Hybrid, the E-11. Its range leaves a little to be desired and its penetrating power can be stopped by most medium grade blaster resistant armor. And you may hear this and instantly think "well why would I buy this it honestly sounds like it takes from the E-5 side of the tree." And I can see where you get that from, but Sorosuub did their work well, they designed some outstanding heat management and Tibanna pumps. 
So me and the boys did everything we could, shoved it in the mud dropped it off the landing pad 2 stories. Ran over it with a few non repulsor tractors. Thing is a difference could hardly be noticed, the pumps having just a little trouble with this massive punishment.. This is not to mention the foldable stock makes it effective in cqc and longer range engagements. But the question, should you buy this? Absolutely, with the quality of Sorosuub, and ease of manufacturing of Merr-sonn the E-11 is a beautiful marriage between the two companies."
=== Blastech RSKF-44 ===
Hello y'all welcome back to another review with Deneban Ranch, and today is something special, something unique, and something beautiful, the Blastech Concept Heavy Blaster RSKF-44.
To call this, item a blaster though is a disservice to it, a weapon, a tool, all words that don't truly describe what the RSKF is. It is a statement! Made by a experimental team at Blastech it's what they call a "Concept Gun". It is what weapons COULD be in the future, not something from the now.
Exclusively made by Blastech the RSKF-44 requires a Level 4 Imperial Firearms license and certification. And to be expected with something of this majesty it don't come cheap, costing at the time of this review 10,000 credits to purchase, this thing is more expensive than many single seater speeders.
And that may seem obscene, a simply Blastech gouging money from a mediocre weapon costing a 1/10th the price on the label. Which is the exact reason why I denied the sponsorship for this one, so I can be 100% honest when I say, It is worth every single credit. It has a smooth grip that allows for an extremely tight hold, which you'll need. This double barreled design has enough kick to push a small building, and enough power to shred through thick concrete. Holding 4 shots in a rotating cylinder you can only fire it twice before needing to replace the custom made rechargeable tibanna cartridges which are 250 credits per cylinder.
Of course with something of this price you must treat it with care, it's one of the few guns I give it's own case in the YT-1300 to make sure it isn't dirtied before use, because any dirt in the barrels can cause massive decreases in power and increase in heat. Fire it just a couple times and I'd find it extremely probable the barrels will begin to warp. You need to clean this before every use, because why would you buy a 10,000 credit gun, and not treat it as royalty.
But unfortunately no, I can't actually say that you should start saving up to get this gun, because as I said at the start, it being a concept gun leads to it being needy. You can't come from any background and own it, you live somewhere without the very best tools in firearm cleaning, and it'll even if slowly start to tear itself apart. And trust me warranty on this thing ain't cheap with Blastech.

==== DC-12U ====
Welcome back to the Ranch my wonderful viewers and today we have a VERY strange weapon that I only found out existed thanks to one of you. The DC-12U Beam Rifle from Blastech.
It is a weird gun to say the least, specifically designed for aquatic species it relies on the water as part of the cooling method. So I had to Take the 1300 to Makeb in the Aida Sector, seeing as Deneba is Notably lacking in deep reservoirs of free use water. And seeing as I did need to be under water for an extended period of time I also had to purchase an environmental suit capable of such.
But instead of talking about the pain I went through just the use the damned thing let's talk about said damned thing. The DC-12U is a Beam rifle produced by Blastech, requiring a Class 3 Imperial Firearms license and certification it'll cost you 1,600 credits, but that's excluding the extra costs you knowingly or not bring along with the purchase.
As I said before you need deep water with no authority stopping you from shooting weapons, and all the things needed to reach and go under it. This costed me a total 9,100, and even more importantly it requires a unique Blastech tibanna storage system that provides extra trace gases to improve use underwater, being 150 credits per container.
But when you shoot it it's a very different experience, the water negates nearly all the kick of the gun its like a laser pointer really. When you hit something with it, I used a normal piece of 1/2 inch durasteel, it goes straight through it, and keeps going for a good bit before it starts to just looks like blue haze that just warms up what ever it hits.
It's an impressive feat of engineering yes, but it's very specialized, there's no real reason to buy this unless you happen to be aquatic as well. But if you are then your options are so limited Blastech is probably your best option. So no don't buy this just to have it if you're not a Quarren or Mon Calamari.
==== DC-15 ====
===== DC-15A =====
A Classic from the Clone wars and starting off the MASSIVE line of DC-15's. We have the DC-15A Blaster Rifle.
A weapon from the beginning of the Clone Wars, it's usually given to auto-riflemen in the Military, but YOU can get it for 2,200 credits so long as you have the Level 4 license and certification to get it, because the Empire's gonna need a lot of evidence that you ain't planning on challenging a small police force.
Because I guarantee you this thing can, firing at 250 rpm though from what I heard there's a dozen different subvariants changing this. It's charge pack lasts for 50 shots and 500 shots for the Tibanna canister. It's shots can be lethal on unarmored targets for up to 10 kilometers, but good luck hitting anything at that distance without a powered tripod.
This gun feels chunky, as it should honestly, it was built in a rush in response to the war, it's recoil suppressing systems are most certainly not up to par for a Pistol, much less a rifle of this caliber. And as it should, the thunk of the blaster shot matches it's power, every target I put up with medium blaster armor gets melted through in just a few shots, and heavy blaster armor doesn't stand up to a steady fire from the 15A. It also features a power setting, not only for stun settings, but low to high tibanna blasts, though at high it lowers the tibanna canister shots to 300.
The 15A does have it's flaws though, it weighs 4.4 kilograms, but is 1.3 meters long, it unwieldly, hard to use in tight spaces, and most damning of all difficult to hold at perfect shoulder height for longer times, so get those standing shots off quickly. And not to mention, with all the factors of the unwieldly design, the high power, and the rounds per minute, the weapon is neigh impossible to aim at range in standing or even kneeling positions under automatic fire.
For the final conclusion should you get this gun? Yes, but not for anything besides hunting big game. It's automatic fire makes it less useful for anything that needs more than 1 or 2 shots at long range. So hunting is your best bet, and with it's insanely strong blasts big game are likely going to be the only ones not incinerated by one blast.
