Well, except for the fact that the link you provided was useless. That's a link for blaster rifles with some vague mention of stormtroopers. That database doesn't even list the E-11.

Also, I would really recommend not coming on these forums to **** all over what people are posting because it's not the new official canon. That's a fast way to get responses like this. It's not helpful, especially since EotE is built with the "old" canon in mind.

Ddbrown, I re-read the posters you responded to (none were me) and I don't see how anything that they said could be deemed as, "coming on these forums to **** all over what people are posting because it's not the new official canon".

Relax Don Quioxte.

Yeah, you're right. I way overreacted, especially after re-reading. Sorry.

I wish there was a way to incorporate some extra recess time or a cold Franziskaner with my like......

This might be a really nit-picky thing to ask, but is there any example in canon where a stormtrooper of the rank-and-file is using anything other than an E-11? I thought aforementioned weapon was a blaster carbine, not a rifle, yet all the troopers statted in the cores and adventures use blaster rifles.

The main reason I ask is because I like to get specific with my EotE players about what kind of guns theyve acquired because it usually helps give them a more visual representation of themselves. Additionally, my players are, to a man, incredible gun-monkeys; they mod out EVERYTHING if they get the parts. I know the troopers mostly have BRs for balance, but what would they use besides an E-11? The Imperial standard armory seems to skip over the BR category and go straight to HBRs or LRBs for non-coms and heavy troopers from all the Wookiepedia research Ive managed to do.

I would say look at it from this angle. The E-11 is the base Blaster Rifle. You can have a variation of sub models like the E-11C which is a carbine model with out butt/shoulder stock. Or a E-11B that fires in bursts that the difference is that it burns through powercells faster with a +1 to damage. The E-11 Sniper Rifle is based on the same design, but is reengineered for that specific task. Taking the E-11 as the base gives you some felxability so that way, You could reward them with a special protype version that already has certain modifications built into it.
