The BlasTech A295 blaster rifle was the standard-issue rifle used by the Rebel Alliance at Echo Base. It was favored by marksmen for its high accuracy and effectiveness at range.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The prop for the A295 was based off of the German StG 44, the first mass-produced assault rifle issued during World War II.
