AC-12 blaster rifle

The AC-12 blaster rifle was a model of blaster rifle manufactured by BlasTech Industries. It served as the standard issue weapon of the dark troopers of the United Front. The AC-12 was the successor to BlasTech's E-5 blaster rifle that was used by B1-series battle droids and BX-series droid commandos during the Clone Wars. However, it was redesigned specifically for the use of sentient beings instead of battle droids, and was designed to be far more lethal than its predecessor. The AC-12 was also based on the design of competitors such as the E-11 medium blaster rifle used by stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire.
==Description==
The AC-12 blaster rifle combined lethal firepower with impressive range all while maintaining a versatile design. The rifle proved useful for a variety of combat situations due to three power settings, including lethal, stun and sting. An advanced cooling system resulted in the blaster's superior performance, especially useful for its fully automatic fire setting. The AC-12 also included a telescopic range-finding sight and a folding three-position stock, which could convert the blaster into a full-length rifle and could be modified to house a glowrod. The blaster was capable of firing 500 shots before overheating.
