WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle

The WESTAR-M5 Blaster Rifle is a blaster rifle issued to Advanced Recon Commandos in the Grand Army of the Republic. ARC Troopers utilized the WESTAR-M5 to great effect against a variety of targets, ranging from B-2 Super Battle Droids to Armored Assault Tanks (AATs). The WESTAR-M5 marries a high rate of fire to exceptional damage both to organic and inorganic targets.

Availability
The WESTAR-M5 is rarer even than the Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon, as it is light enough to be carried from the field in situations where the Z-6 would not be. It is next to impossible to find in black markets, as it is extremely expensive and coveted by bounty hunters, hired guns, and the security officers of very rich underworld figures.
