The DC-15A blaster rifle[7] was the standard blaster rifle of the Republic clone troopers,[1] elite soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic.[8] A variant of the DC-15 was later used by Purge Troopers of the Galactic Empire.[6] A version with a wooden stock was the standard weapon of the Senate Commandos. It was a larger, heavier and more powerful long-range alternative to the DC-15A blaster carbine.[1]

The blaster used replaceable tibanna gas cartridges for ammunition, and set on low power the blaster could fire up to five hundred shots of plasma bolts.[1] Some versions were made fully automatic.

The DC-15LE was a variant of the DC-15 that could be modified for long-range engagements or to shoot explosive blaster bolts.
