Star Wars Battlefront Pre-release Boxart Release Date: 2015 Developer: DICE Publisher: EA Series: Star Wars Platforms: PC Xbox One Playstation 4 Genre: First-Person Shooter, Third-Person Shooter

Star Wars Battlefront is a first- and third-person action shooter game set in the original trilogy of the Star Wars Universe, released in November 2015. It is a reboot of the original Star Wars: Battlefront series originally created by Pandemic Studios and LucasArts in 2004, and is now developed by EA DICE, the studio behind the Battlefield series of games. Battlefront also runs on the third installment of the proprietary Frostbite engine that Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 use. A sequel to the 2015 Battlefront is planned for release in November 2017.

Many of the game's blasters are almost-identical virtual replicas of the prop weapons used in the films of the original trilogy, and a few of the new weapons created by DICE appear to have been based off of real-world small arms.

The following weapons appear in the video game Star Wars Battlefront:

Blaster Pistols

BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol (Sterling L2A3)

The DH-17 pistol is one of the first weapons players can unlock, available at rank 3. It costs 550 credits, and functions as a rapid-firing machine pistol, ideal for close-quarters combat. The in-game model has the Sterling trigger assembly from The Empire Strikes Back prop but also lacks the magazine and magwell, as the seen on the early rubber stunt props in A New Hope. The DH-17 is also the blaster of choice for the Sullustan rebel hero Nien Numb, who is available as part of the Outer Rim DLC.

BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol (Mauser C96)

The DL-44 is the final base game weapon, unlocked at level 25 for 2,500 credits. It boasts incredible damage, rivaling the T-21 heavy blaster, but can only fire nine shots before overheating and it has a sharp damage drop off at range. Of course, it is the sidearm of the Han Solo in-game, a Hero for the Rebel faction.

Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser

A rare easter egg draw animation has the character comically twirl the blaster around their trigger finger when drawing it; this is only visible in first-person and the animation has a generally very low chance of happening, compounded by the fact that the DL-44 is either only ever drawn when the player spawns or if they switch between their primary blaster and a Star Card weapon. This animation is also present in Battlefield 1, but with the Lancaster Howdah pistol rather than the Mauser C96.

BlasTech SE-14C Blaster Pistol (Rexim-Favor Mk5)

Dr Evazon/Ponda Boba's infamous sidearm is also present in the game, made available at rank 14 and costs 2,500 credits. It fires in rather ridiculous five-shot 800 RPM bursts, and is a somewhat more precision-oriented close range pistol compared to the DH-17.

Should I continue with this?

I'm gonna work on the descriptions and captions, but I'd like to make sure whether or not if Battlefront is suitable for a page here.--AgentGumby (talk) 13:27, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

The way this is set up, and the fact that these guns clearly are based on real firearms, maybe so? But I think instead of having the real name of the weapon in parenthesis switch them so that the real gun is listed and the fictional name in parenthesis.-SeptemberJack (talk) 13:35, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

I've been working on a page for this game for a while, I've just been too busy lately to finish it. I've already written descriptions for every weapon both in the main game and in the dlc and found as many of the real world counterparts tgat I could. I have it all saved on a Google doc, already properly spaced and formatted, it just needs to be copy and paste over. The only thing really left to do is add the final screencaps. I have most of the first images for the weapons already up, but no in-game caps yet.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 14:02, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
