This is the fourth volume of my padawan learner series. If you have not seen my first three posts please check them out using the #padawanlearner tag. Today we will be learning about the weapons in Star Wars.
Blasters Dl-44: The Dl-44 was Han Solo's personal favorite. It was a very powerful close quarters heavy blaster pistol. It was one of the only weapons used by Han Solo.

DC-15 carbine: It was a smaller version of the DC-15 blaster rifle, that what it lacked in range made up for in rate of fire.

(image via: wookieepedia)Melee weapons
Electrostaff: The electrostaff is built with materials that can deflect lightsabers allowing it to combat lightsabers. The electrostaff is lethal enough to kill someone with a few strikes. This weapon is what magnaguards used.

Zygerrian Electro-whip: The electro whip is very similar to the light whip, (The light whip will be featured in my next post), and it is a whip that is made out of energy used extensively by the Zygerrians. The Zygerrians were slavers and mainly used the whip for torture but some individuals used it in combat. It fared decently against inexperienced Jedi but any Jedi could beat them if they were trained well enough. They really didn't pose a threat as many non-force users could beat them rather quickly.

Gaderffii: The gaderffii also known as a gaffi was a melee weapon used by the sand people. The Gaffi had two different weapons on each end. The Gaffi could be utilized as a club or used more elegantly in a controlled fighting style.

Vibroblade: The vibroblade was a small weapon that was optimal for cutting and slashing. It has a vibro-generator on the handle that allows the bladed to hum and be much more powerful. It is so powerful even very little contact with the wrist can take off a whole hand. Unless it is used with cortosis weave it is not able to parry lightsabers and cortosis weave makes it weaker so the vibroblade is not really optimal for lightsaber combat.

Lightsabers: Lightsabers are the most memorable weapons but they are also the rarest. Only force users can use it to its fullest potential. The lightsaber is an energy blade that uses a crystal. They can cut through nearly anything but there are a few materials that can withstand them. These materials will be featured in a post very soon, so stay tuned.

Df.9: The Df.9 is a turret that was used by the rebel alliance to pick of stormtroopers at the battle of hoth. It is very useful in taking down smaller units, but it isn't the greatest at destroying armored targets.

1.4 FD P-Tower: The P-Tower was an emplacement that was used at the Battle of Hoth Just like the DF.9. It was an anti-vehicle weapon that delivered very powerful shots that could take down many armored targets. A rebel commander said that one of the most disheartening things at the Battle of Hoth was seeing the P-Tower bolt bounce of the AT-AT without any damage to it.
E-web: This was a weapon often used by imperials. It was often used by Snowtroopers. It was one of the imperials only fixed repeating blasters.

Turbolaser: The turbolaser was a weapon that was essentially a blaster cannon enlarged many times over. It was mainly used on ships or space stations like the Death Star but it cold also be turned into a ground defense turret. The turbolaser was optimal for destroying enemy ships.
