Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Star Wars: Stories (2016-)

Star Wars Stories consists of films that are set in the Star Wars universe, but outside of either the Original, Sequel or Prequel trilogies. These films include 2016's Rogue One, an untitled 2018 film centering on Han Solo, and a 2020 film.

The following lists the weapons used in the "Stories" films of the Star Wars saga:

Blaster Pistols

A180 Pistol (WE Luger P08)

Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) also uses an A180 pistol, which based on a Luger P08. It seems to be built from an airsoft (6" barrel) WE Luger with a large barrel shroud (reminiscent of the LPA NN-14's from The Force Awakens). The Luger's rear sight has also been removed and the "tab" behind the rear sight ground flat.

BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol (Sterling L2A3)

Rebels in Rogue One once again use the Sterling L2A3-based "BlasTech DH-17 blaster pistol". One Rebels can be seen using the DH-17 with what appears to be a Magpul CTR stock.

Blaster Rifles

Rebel Blaster (AR-15)

Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and other Rebels uses a blaster rifle based on an AR-15 variant. While visually similar to the A280 blaster rifle from Return of the Jedi, it is not entirely the same. The weapon seems to be modular (perhaps a nod to the AR-15 it's based on), as it's seen being used by Rebels in various configurations. Andor himself uses a version of the blaster with the stock and all barrel attachments removed, effectively making it a blaster pistol. Andor is also seen adding to his blaster pistol version to make, what is referred to as a "Sniper Configuration".

Heavy Blasters

Heavy Death Trooper Blaster (MG34)

"Heavy" Death Troopers use a blaster based on the MG34. It is likely meant to be a DLT-19 variant and features what appears to be two underbarrel flashlights.

UT-60D-Mounted Blaster (M60)

In what is perhaps a homage to a scene from Full Metal Jacket, Bistan fires a blaster based on an M60 machine gun out of a UT-60D (U-wing) on Scarif.

Light Blasters

BlasTech E-11 Blaster Rifle (S&T Sterling L2A1)

The "BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle" returns as the standard issue blaster rifle of the Imperial Stormtroopers in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It remains relatively unchanged from the E-11s seen in A New Hope, minus the addition of Element M300A LED Mini Scout Light (EX 191) flashlights on the side of the barrel, which are knockoffs of the SureFire M300 Mini Scout Light. The E-11s were based on airsoft S&T Sterling L2A1s (rather than the real and MGC Sterlings L2A3s used in The Original Trilogy) with scopes cast from real M38 azimuth tank telescopes. The E-11 is also used by Sandtroopers and some Shoretroopers.

BlasTech SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster (Rexim Favor)

Death Troopers carry "BlasTech SE-14r light repeating blasters" (based on Rexim Favors) as their sidearm. The weapon originally appeared in publicity stills for A New Hope, but Rogue One is the first time it has appeared in the films.

BlasTech T-21 Light Repeating Blaster (Lewis Gun)

The "BlasTech T-21 light repeating blaster" is carried by some Stormtroopers in Rogue One. It also features an Element M300A (EX 191) flashlight.

Death Trooper Blaster (S&T Sterling L2A1)

Death Troopers also use airsoft S&T Sterling L2A1-based blasters, which are also probably E-11 variants. The blasters feature VFC HK416C-style stocks (SKU: VF9-STK-416E-BK01) and, like a few other weapons, Element M300A (EX 191) flashlights.

Dir. Orson Krennic's Blaster (MP40)

Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) carries a blaster based on a cut-down MP40 with a scope. The blaster appears to be have been custom made, as there are significant structural differences between it and the MP40.

MP40 Submachine Gun - 9x19mm

E-22 (S&T Sterling L2A1)

Some Shoretroopers use the double-barreled E-22, which is based on the airsoft S&T Sterling L2A1 with a second barrel, a precision stock, and an Element M300A (EX 191) flashlight added. Like the Death Trooper blaster, this blaster is also likely meant to be some kind of E-11 variant, especially considering the E-22 designation (which presumably is a reference to the two barrels).
