Talk:DC-15s side arm blaster
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
I'm not sure a sources tag is required. I can't think of any more appearances for the DC-15s, aside from maybe the game website and strategy guide. -LtNOWIS 01:22, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Range
What's the source for this thing's range? 1,000 meters seems pretty outlandish for a pistol, seeing as rifles have much shorter range (according to The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology, the E-11 blaster rifle has a range of 300 meters). 68.47.234.131 17:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- It does seem a little outlandish, but if there's a good source for it, it's the truth. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- The range given on the Republic Commando website is 1,000. This is compared to 10,000 for the DC-17m sniper rifle or bowcaster, 1,000 for the DC-17m anti-armor, 1,500 for the ACP Array Gun, 5,000 for the E-5 droid blaster, and 8,000 for the droideka and SBD. The units aren't given, and I'm sure they're not in meters. We could figure out a unit conversion if we knew the ranges for the others, but even than, it might be a gameplay mechanic. -LtNOWIS 19:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, that's helpful that they don't give us the units. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:08, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- I hate to comment on a old topic, but if we can assume the range units are the same for the website the quoted numbers come from it is possible to change the units into meters. An E-5 Droid blaster has a maximum range of 200 meters according to the Arms & Equipment Guide. If you divide 200 meters by the 5,000 units that is quoted from the website you get 0.04 meters per unit. If you then multiply by the 1,000 units that the pistol is given you get 40 meters, which seems a lot more reasonable. My only question is if doing those calculations would count as original research and keep us from using it.Kellhorn 22:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's fan calculations, which we can't use. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision)

[edit] Aperences
The stratigy guaids for the games Include this pistol as a clone trooper sidearm
- If you're talking about the Battlefront games, it's a mistake, because they're not in there. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 13:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's definitely not the same as the Blaster Pistol wielded by the Clones in BF1 or 2. I'd say it's actually a variant of the DC-15S Blaster instead (notably smaller but same design). Ggctuk 21:44, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Quote
Where did the quote come from? Can anyone provide me with a source? --Ryluk Shouja(Bounty Hunters Guild)10:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Likely a game guide for Republic Commando. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 22:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actualy its in the game itself in the loading Screen —User:Jedi Master KaelKatana01 or Katana 20:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Is it pronounced
- DC-fifteens side arm blaster
- DC-fifteen ess side arm blaster
- Something else
- the second one seems most likely User: Jedi Master KaelKatana01 or Katana 20:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Firepower
In the game Republic Commando the DC-15s side arm blaster seems to be more powerful than the DC-17m blaster attachment and in the game the blaster bolts are bigger than those of the DC-17m blaster attachment. Also in the game it takes several shots from the DC-17m blaster attachment to kill Trando slavers and mercenaries but just a few shots to the head or body with the DC-15s side arm blaster.--Darth Malice the Destroyer 22:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
The pistol is suited for CQC, while the rifle is meant for medium range, that might be why you kill faster with the pistol. Warrior Brutus 11:30, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
