Summary
The EC-17 hold-out blaster, also known as the EC-17 blaster or scout trooper blaster, was a standard-issue hold-out blaster pistol for Imperial scout troopers during the Galactic Civil War.
This compact, one-handed blaster was fitted with a side-mounted targeting scope and phase amplifier, and featured a miniature gas cell on the rear. The weapon had a short-range barrel. Scout troopers commonly carried these weapons in a boot holster of their armor. Because scout troopers wore padded gloves, the pistol had a pressure-sensitive grip rather than a trigger. The trooper was able to hold the grip with two gloved fingers through the enlarged finger guard.
