Description: The J-10 dual blaster cannon was a model of blaster cannon used by the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars. Essentially a pair of scaled-up reciprocating E-5 blaster rifles, it was rarely deployed due to its many drawbacks. During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance to Restore the Republic outposts were commonly equipped with pristine J-10s found in abandoned Separatist weapon caches to cover evacuations.
Description
A Separatist design, the J-10 dual blaster cannon was essentially a pair of scaled-up reciprocating E-5 blaster rifles, which were commonly used by battle droid infantry. The E-5's design scaled poorly, however, with its minor heating issues becoming a major problem for the J-10. The dual blaster cannon glitchy galven-pattern programming often led to power fluctuations. In addition, inferior-quality materials contributed to poor accuracy, with imperfections in the J-10's focusing crystals causing shots to drift without regular maintenance.
History
During the late Republic Era, an astromech droid was active with a J-10 dual blaster cannon built into its head. The droid was present for a bounty hunter briefing attended by Lawson Brown and Rheena Sul.
The J-10 used by the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars. Like most of their equipment, it was produced on unregulated, droid-run assembly lines in factories where quantity was more important than quality. It was rarely deployed due to its many drawbacks, with scavengers frequently having discovered pristine caches of J-10s. It was, in any case, deployed into the Battle of Ryloth for usage by droid forces and used by Geonosians during the Second Battle of Geonosis.
Alliance to Restore the Republic scouts managed to recover J-10s while searching for new locations to establish hidden bases during the Galactic Civil War. Many J-10s found their ways into the hands of the Rebel Alliance and became common in their outposts, where they could be deployed along trenches to cover evacuations in the event of discovery by the Galactic Empire. Alliance technicians often opted to replace faulty J-10s instead of fixing them.
