==Description==
The A280C blaster file, also designated as the A280 C heavy blaster rifleForged in Battle served as one of BlasTech's top-selling combat blaster rifles for nearly a century before it was used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Before the Clone Wars, the A280C was the standard-issue infantry rifle for many planetary defense forces and private militias. Despite its heavy weight, the A280C was accurate and durable and it continued to see service throughout the Outer Rim Territories. Almost every military academy, militia, and military trained with the A280C prior to the Clone Wars.
When more modular platforms were adopted by the Galactic Republic, the A280C waned in use. With the reformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire, the Empire absorbed or disbanded local defense forces, resulting in many decommissioned A280Cs. These guns flooded the secondhand market and black markets, and found their way to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and became standard issue. The bounty hunters and commandos that worked for the Haxion Brood were also equipped with them.
