[edit] Characteristics
The BlasTech DLT-20A blaster rifle was a long-barrelled rifle (sometimes referred to as a 'longblaster') with a top-mounted rangefinder and electronic sight. This was one of the few blaster models produced with a magnatomic adhesion grip, keeping the weapon firmly in the wielder's grip.
The DLT-20A was similar in design to the BlasTech A-280 blaster rifle and the E-17d sniper rifle favored by the Rebel Alliance.
[edit] History
This weapon was commonly used by the stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire. The notorious droid bounty hunter, IG-88, was also known to use this weapon.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Like many weapons seen in the original trilogy, this weapon appears to be cannibalised from parts of various real-world weapons, such as the barrel from a Browning M1917 machine gun and the action and trigger housing from an STG44 assault rifle. The shoulder stock appears to have been custom-made by the ILM prop department.
