Capsule: The Th'Ta TA-16 is a good, though relatively unknown, blaster rifle. The TA-16 is calibrated to be fired in single shot and burst fire modes, while the TA-16H squad automatic weapon is designed to be fired in long bursts only. They both use standard power cells, and have the typical layout of most rifles, although hey are a little larger than average. The TA-16 and -16H may be readily differentiated by the thicker barrel and ventilated hand guard on the TA-16H. Other, less noticeable differences include the higher cyclic rate, lack of a bayonet lug and larger, less accurate sight on the TA-16H. (note: the stats for the TA-16H appear in the brackets]
