I'm confused by all the terminology used to refer to this rifle. The intro makes it seem as if the full name of the weapon's type is heavy repeating blaster rifle. However, this full name is not used elsewhere. The infobox and the body call it a blaster rifle and a heavy repeating blaster, while the categories list it as a concussion rifle, heavy repeating blaster and a repeating blaster rifle. I'd like to see some consistency here.- I mean it is a "heavy repeating blaster" and a "blaster rifle", so heavy repeating blaster rifle seemed like the simplest term to describe the weapon while avoiding any speculation. I've just made changes to the infobox and the article body to solve this confusion. And about the categories, since there is no category as heavy repeating blaster rifle, I had intended to put the categories of heavy repeating blaster and blaster rifle; but the latter had a repeating blaster rifle subcategory, so I used it instead. Also, no source uses the term concussion rifle, but I added that category simply because the TL-50 is a rifle capable of firing a concussion blast. I can remove that if you think that would be better. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 03:00, October 15, 2018 (UTC)
I understand your reasoning behind putting it into the concussion rifle category, but if you are going to do so, this needs to be reflected in the infobox and the term "concussion rifle" needs to be linked somewhere in the article. Also, we apparently do not have a canon version of the "concussion rifle" article, so this needs to be created as well to avoid having a redlink.QuiGonJinn (Talk) 07:04, October 15, 2018 (UTC)- Done.

Since the blaster was used by Versio while she served the Empire, and we know the time period of her service, some dates can be established in the history section.QuiGonJinn (Talk) 19:54, October 14, 2018 (UTC)- According to the novel Battlefront II: Inferno Squad, Iden was an Imperial soldier as early as the events of Rogue One, and became special forces shortly after Yavin, so during the Galactic Civil War seemed like enough for a start date. I've just made a minor edit to include her defection date. I'm not sure if it satisfies your objection, so please take a look. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 02:46, October 15, 2018 (UTC)
- This is perfectly fine. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 07:04, October 15, 2018 (UTC)

"like all other weapons in the game.[1]" Careful, the not all the hero weapons were available to troopers.- Actually, all hero blaster model are available for troopers as well (I have just re-checked), only lightsabers aren't. Changed the word from "weapons" to "blasters." Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 14:42, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
Could you add the unlock criteria for the weapon for both games?- For the first Battlefront, it's "get 20 kills playing as an Empire soldier, get 75 heavy blaster kills, and win a round of Battle Station game mode from the Death Star DLC." For Battlefront II, it's simply "get 500 kills as heavy trooper." I didn't think they are worth mentioning in Bts, but I'll add them if you still think that would be better.

- I would say it's more relevant than listing the different troopers and factions, but I'll leave it up to you. Tommy Macaroni 19:30, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
- Personally, I find listing troopers much more relevant to the article. In the game, all specialist (sniper) trooper weapons are sniper rifles, and all officer weapons are blaster pistols etc. So there is some kind of a consistency going on there, which could imply that the T-50 is a weapon more suitable for heavy troopers. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk)
- I still think it's relevant, but as you seem against the idea I won't push any more. Tommy Macaroni 16:08, October 21, 2018 (UTC)
- Oh no, not at all. I thought I had already added it. Sorry about the misunderstanding, just added now. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 04:05, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

"It appears as an unlockable modification in the sequel game. Along with the extended barrel, and the power cell to increase cooling power, the player can only equip two of the three mods at the same time in Star Wars Battlefront II.[2]" This is true, but only for the multiplayer segments. I don't think the weapon is modifiable in the single player, or at the very least, the secondary fire is default.Tommy Macaroni 06:59, October 16, 2018 (UTC)- It should be fine now. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 14:42, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
Could you slightly modify the wording of the intro to fit in Concussion rifle?"its triple barrels." Could you remove this, as you talk about the different numbers of barrels later.You're going to need a manual ref note for the date, as the events of Battlefront II aren't directly mentioned in Galactic Atlas.Tommy Macaroni 20:24, November 8, 2018 (UTC)
