Katarn-Pattern Heavy Blaster Rifle
The Katarn-pattern Heavy Blaster Rifle is the latest in Imperial technology created by the Thrashian Empire for it's fighting men and women of the Imperial Military[1]. Designed by the taciturn weapons developer and renown engineer, Kyle Katarn, the Katarn Rifle (as it is sometimes known) or K-1, is a vast improvement over the older E-11 BlasTech model blaster rifle. The K-1 is almost a call back to older times when the Imperial Army and the Clone Legions used the DC-15 Blaster Rifle. With better handling and an improved rate of fire the K-1 is capable of incredible carnage. It lacks the stun setting of the older E-11 as it is intended to be completely lethal. Talks of adding a stun setting to the Mark II of the design has been discussed at length by the Imperial High Command, but for now it remains entirely lethal.
