Am I the only one who noticed that when talking about the standard blasters, the images were instead of the opposite weapon?
Nah I noticed that to
Yeah lmfao
Yeah, I think there was maybe a lack of nice action images from the DC-15A that wasn't screenshots from copyrighted material. Or just an honest mistake -- these names can get mixed up since they're so similar.
Same
I saw it, too
The Republic Commando DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System for me. Am always a sucker for multi-weapons, although it's a shame that it's not of the Hammerspace-style, reality warping, infinite ammo/energy kind.
Based on the “fair fight” comment, the DC-17m would have won if it hadn’t been disqualified for being multiple weapons.
Easy: ALL OF THEM
Well, hope you have carrying strength equal to Kyle "Forcedamned" Katarn, Mara Jade, and Jaden Korr.
Short answer: *yes*
Every single one of them
In the hands of a clone?
Any of them
Some of these were so good the rebels even used them in the future against the empire.
A great way of recycling.
Only old clones who re enlisted should be allowed to use them. Human recruits even rebels just look funny to me using clone weapons
yeah especially since the imperial blasters where junk
@@BWC-Chad I don’t see an issue with it. The Clones and Rebels were fighting for the same goal of a republic. Besides dozens of groups that fought proxy wars against the Confederacy were given these weapons.
I think they were less powerful variants because they were too powerful for a normal human to use, only clones could use the original one due to their kinda crazy strength
The reciprocating quad blaster has to be one of my favorites. I just wish we saw it more.
Sadly I agree
I remember when i made one out of legos, was fairly impressive
Was that just in the comics? It's been a while, but I don't recall seeing it in the animated series at all.
@@jedironin380 , it was in the 2D Clone Wars animated series, but not much else. It's just in the part where the ARC Troopers fight General Grievous for the first time.
@@michaeltoddcarpentier2439 , nice!
Talks about the DC-15A
*SHOWS PICS OF THE DC-15S*
💀
And does the reverse for the DC-15s
I thought the blue was to just represent the republic a visual contrast to the CIS's red blaster bolts in my 9 year old mind growing up.
Same for the Rebellion's red and Empire's green.
Lol as a kid when I watched the phantom menace, after having watched the OG trilogy on VHS, I seen the double bladed saber.
Having only seen single bladed sabers, it got me thinking...
I wonder what the new sith saber would be?
Then dooku had the curved hilt in ep. 2
I thought to myself "surprised they didn't have a 3 bladed saber, bet that'll be the next gimmick in the third one" lol
Then quadcopter asthma cyborg grievous entered the chat with his 4 sabers lol
Not even gonna acknowledge Kylo, he doesn't exist to me lol
I bet, if they make a star wars episode 10, the sith will have a 5 bladed pitchfork saber, I'm calling it lol
@@NINE93THREE A trident, you mean?
@@NINE93THREE do not watch the star wars destiny animation I've see the clips it's disgusting. I'm an original trilogy and prequels fan. Only thing I enjoy in Disney's Canon is Respawn's jedi fallen order and survivor and I don't know how I feel about the protagonist adopting the the cross guard. Shoto lightsaber in tandom with the traditional blade fine the double bladed lightsaber definitely the cross guard I have my reservations
They are. The Tibanna gas thing is the in universe reason. TIEs with green lasers, and X Wings with Red are for the same reason.
"Snake, you got a DC-17!"
"The DC-17 is a heavy blaster pistol that was designed for the Grand Army of the Republic."
"Back during the Clone Wars, officers and special forces used it for its superior stopping power and compact frame. It even has a Stun setting to take out enemies quietly and non-lethally."
"Even commandos who had their pick of any weapons the Republic could buy picked the DC-17 as their sidearm of choice. Hell, some officers carried them akimbo on the front lines."
"That's great and all, but there's one problem."
"What's that?"
"There's no sights on this thing!"
"Yeah, well, it was made for clones with HUDs. They didn't really need to add much beyond the basics. For you, aiming's going to be a bit more difficult, but the power is worth it. I'd reccomend using it in CQC to take out enemies fast, or pulling a Captain Rex and using them akimbo for extra firepower."
"Ah, the good ol' DC-15."
"It's basically a sniper rifle with a full auto setting."
"Yep. The DC-15 is a superior option for long-range engagements or punching through armour that other small arms can't."
"Although, you definitely shouldn't be using it for CQC."
"Yeah, it's too damn heavy for any kind of CQC."
"The scope can fold up to engage the enemy at longer distances. To use it, equip the DC-15 and press the Action Button, then aim in First-Person mode."
"I see you found a DC-15A."
"Isn't this the DC-15S?"
"DC-15S? What the hell are you talking about, Snake?"
"Never mind."
"The DC-15A was designed for the Grand Army of the Republic. It was made to copy the strengths of the Separatists' E-5 rifle while eliminating the weaknesses."
"It's got good stopping power and a decent rate of fire, and it's compact enough that you can even work it into CQC."
"It quickly replaced the DC-15 as the Republic's standard issue blaster, and it was a favourite among Republic-backed militia groups, too."
"You can't go wrong with a DC-15S."
"There you go again!"
"Huh?"
"You said DC-15S again."
"I did?"
"Alright, tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong."
"Nuh-uh, I know you too well now. What's wrong?"
"This blaster is the DC-15S. The long rifle is the 15A."
"Say what?"
"Really?"
"Hello, Para-Medic."
"What was that about the DC-15A?"
"The DC-15A refers to the large rifle developed before the war. Its replacement, the smaller model, was designated the DC-15S."
"Is that true, Sigint?"
"No, there's no way that's true."
"Seems like we have a bit of a Revan Effect going on here."
"A what?"
"The Revan Effect is when you remember something differently from how it's commonly portrayed."
"It got its name from Revan, a Jedi-turned-Sith-turned-Jedi who fought in the Jedi Civil War in 2936 BRR."
"After the war, it became a common misconception that Revan died in the battle, when he had actually disappeared into unknown space to chase a then-unknown Sith threat."
"But people could swear up and down that he had died at the battle, even some people who were there."
"It's even been suggested by some that the Revan Effect might be the result of shifting between realities."
"Hey, Snake."
"Huh?"
"You weren't paying attention at all."
"Nope."
"Forget I said anything."
This is the best comment I’ve ever seen
Love me some Metal Gear memes!
Cringe comment
You forgot another paragraph
DC-15S. There's something to be said for the shear power of the A model, but the length of the thing makes it entirely impractical. Imagine trying to clear buildings, get in and out of vehicles, or march through a jungle with that flintlock musket-length blaster. There's a reason the clones switched to a carbine after some wartime experience.
Marines were clearing rooms in Fallujah with M16A4's. It's clumsy, yes, but it *can* be done.
@@kylebrady969 Because its been done it doesnt mean it was optimal. This is Star Wars, so replacing everybodys rifle for SBR is significantly easier.
The DC-15A will always be my favorite. I am just a sucker for powerful long rifles.
Since we’re already on the topic of Clone Wars blasters, can we have a ranking of CIS blaster weapons as well?
I love the E-5c, I love the look of it.
As far as the CIS blasters, most just use the E-5 Standard Battle Droid blaster, every other droid has weapons built in to the design.
I just love the sound effects The blasters make when they fire 🔥🔥🔥
It's not Star Wars if no one can hear those signature noises.
The classic Battlefront sounds for the Clone rifle was an orgasm for my ears back in the day
Pew pew
All of the GAR blasters are most effective. All that matters really is the individual using them, especially if they're ARC Troopers. So even the weakest Blaster is still devastating. All are Plasma weapons so even a near miss is devastating to organics thanks to flash vaporization of blood and tissue.
Though I agree with the DC-15A being the best interms of versatility. It's my favorite so there's a little bias there too.
Shame we can't see the ARC troopers use the Westar M5 as they did in the 2d animated clone wars or the comics they had only because of Disney abandoning the expanded universe. Not that I don't mind seeing them duel wield of course.
We can see in Lego
Clone army customs(A fan made Lego business): am I a joke to you?
Honestly the Clone Wars TV show ruined the ARCs in general.
@Homer how is a multipurpose customizable rifle dumb? That’s literally what any military worth a dime uses in real life
Bro Lucas was the one who abandoned it, The Clone Wars was made in 2008, long before the Disney deal was even a thing.
What if the republic made a clone trooper version of the wookiee bowcaster?
My personal favorite, just from a visual perspective, was the ones that the clones used in that one Vader comic where he hunted down 4-armed, Protoss-lookin jedi and went into an abandoned temple where some wild beasts ambushed some clones.
DC-17 has always looked like a Nerf gun with a Desert Eagle grip. The design he shows comes from the animated series. The action figures and clones in the movies never had this pistol.
You can see DC-17s in Revenge of the Sith. They’re in the holsters of the Star Corp troopers.
If I wanted to buy one of those blasters, I'd either go with the DC-15A or the DC-17M
DC-15A Blaster Rifle is GOATed
Edit: the DC-15A taking the top spot makes sense. After all, a clone used it to backhand a droid during the battle on Utapau! How much better can a blaster get?
And now I can start machining up some blasters to go with my armor. FOR THE REPUBLIC BABEEEEEEEY!
What about the shoulder fired missle launcher the clones used?
Peace is A lie,there is only passion, through passion, I gain strength, through strength I gain power, through power, I gain victory, through victory my chains are now broken-the Force shall free me.
And how does that apply to all these guns?
They have power, and through that power they gain victory
Geetsly's: Talking about DC15-A
Also him: Shows DC15-S
I believe that the Umbaran standard issue rifle is the most effective blaster in the entire clone wars
My man’s forgot the T-21 serving the GAR and Empire since the first battle of Geonosis.
I believe you mixed up some of the imagery for the DC-15A and 15S. Was a bit distracting/disorienting. Assuming the imagery was intended to coincide with the narration.
The carbine and quad are my favorite. It would be awesome to do a land and space vehicle tier list
'Blast a half meter crater in 'fera'crete.' You're getting stats from that book again which claims an arbitrator cruiser turbolaser has 200 GIGAton yeild.
What book was it?
@@michaelandreipalon359 The 'incredible cross sections book series’ at the time it was written Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans were in a big 'who would win' argument, and the guy who wrote it purposefully filled it with a bunch of ridiculous numbers so star wars fans could quote it to win the argument. Yes, this actually happened.
We really need to stop this absurd SW vs. ST conflict. It's pointless.
@@michaelandreipalon359 just bring up the Xeelee and they'll shut up
Xeelee?
The versatility and stopping power of the DC-15 blaster line cannot be understated, but I'm a personal fan of the Westar M5. Westar blasters are highly modular and adaptable (there's a reason Mandalorians practically own the brand), and something about them just screams 'deadly efficient.'
I think the DC-15A and the S are swapped 😅
Just from what I saw in the Clone Wars series, the DC-15a Rifle appeared to be the most effective. It was shown as having very good effect on the droid targets.
Imagine if they gave the Z6 a backpack power supply instead of a cartridge. Dear gods the sheer amount of "fuck you don't be here" that thing could dish out.
DC-17m interchangeable weapon system FTW :D they need a video on their own.
I think the Pictures of 15A and 15S were switched, the 15S is the small one, the 15A is the Long rifle
Can you do about which of the Separatist cannons and artileries are the best in the Clones Wars?
7:01-7:03: And Hardcase. Don't forget Hardcase.
7:24-7:29: You even showed a picture of him.
8:09-8:13: Oh that, was a cool blaster. We really should see more if it in Star Wars.
Also, if you can't choose one blaster, then just use a few, like Fordo did during the Battle of Coruscant. Now that was a cool and badass scene.
What about him?
Guess they compensated a little.
He was using hacks, not an enhanced gun! (Say, heard the TOH news?)
@@michaelandreipalon359 They forgot to mention him alongside the other Z-6 users.
(Yes, I did, and I'm very excited. This is earlier than I expected I thought we wouldn't get the next Special until February, like the second half of Season 2. Also, now I'm curious as to what the message Season 3 will spell out. Since the first Special was called Thanks to them, so we assumed the message would be The Owl House, so the next two Special would have a title starting with O and H respectively, but this one starts with F, so now I'm wondering what the message will be.)
(Man, Bad Batch season 2 and the second Owl House Season 3 Special. January is looking to be a good month).
He blasted threw those super battle droids like they were made of paper.
@@CloneScavengerVulpin8389 Yes. Yes, he did.
@@zexalbrony4799 he needs to be canon
GAR always has the best equipment and vehicles
Not always. *looks at hyperspace-less Aethersprite*
Great video! I love these deep dives in the technology of the Star Wars galaxy.
Yo! The video kick ass but instead of makeing one of the rebels and the empire can u do planets system weapons I wonder how naboo firearms
Interesting tradeoff with the pistols. Actually more powerful and faster but severely limited with ammunition. Probably much less efficient than other standard issue weapons so great for strike fighting and taking down a foe fast to get out of there. Perfectly fits the ARC Trooper athetotic especially with the small size. Would not be surprised if some commandoes kept one or two of them as a backup/sidearm.
Hope we see a video like this on Separatist weapons, they're my favs^^
I'd have to go for the DC-15A, especially when used in full auto. That thing is a beast of a weapon
Obi-Wan: Clumsy projectiles and heavy war machines are no match for the power of the Force.
i find it very odd the z-6 didn't have a power pack backpack at it would easily allow for more ammo
I agreed with all except that the ranking system seems to favor enemy elimination over it's designed for. Any LMG style guns are intended for suppressing the enemy or drawing the enemies attention, more than direct elimination of the enemy.
Bear in mind the intended foes were droids who do not fear suppressing fire the same way organics do.
Nah by far the DC-17M was the best weapon of choice if you had it, great fire rate, tremendous range even *without* the sniper module, the only real downside was probably where the magazine was stored on the left side making for a quicker reload, but it made Commandos have to cross draw to grab their rifle in a firefight situation, such as why most commandos were lightly forced to bring the commando pistol
I'd prefer the DC-17M for it's modularity, adaptable to almost any occasion.
Edited for correct model number.
my favourite would have to be the two-DC17 combo or one-DC15s carbine. i am big on versatility and movement, so all heavy weapons immediately rank bottom. range can be made up for, not bulkiness.
if needing to be mobile in difficult tarain, or if i needed to infiltrate a city or something simular, i would probably pick the heavy blaster because of the size it had and beein a lot easier to carry or conseal without getting in the way. but if the goal was longer fights defenitly the rank 1. strong, hige capasity for shots etc.
First off I absolutely loved the video! I am curious though if the range issue you noted with the WESTAR M5 would actually be an issue in most situations clones found themselves. Other than the first battle at geonosis most of the conflicts did not seem (from my limited reading) to be at ranges beyond its 250m capability. So I wonder if that extended range of the DC-15A is just a useless feature oftentimes. Sort of like how during world war I, many of the rifles had up to a thousand meter range but were rarely used at that distance.
I’m thinking you got the two rifles in the beginning mixed up lol. Talking about big and bulky but showing the smaller blaster, then talking about small but showing the bigger blaster.
Since most fights were shown to be up close, Westar M5. Bulky, but not that long. Not sure how fast it could shoot, but if it was faster than the clone rifle even better. And the ability to knock out an AAT? And a grenade launcher? ARC's used em for a reason.
A-280 from Battlefront 2015. It is so versatile.
For a standard issue weapon, the DC-15S would be a better choice than the DC-15A in my opinion. Sure the bulkier rifle has more range and stopping power but the carbine still has plenty of range and firepower to mow down anything that moves while being incredibly easier to handle in CQB or when dismounting a vehicle. It's the same reason the M16A4 was replaced by the M4A1 in our military. The M16 has a higher muzzle velocity which increases the round's kinetic energy and has more effective range but the M4A1 is still more than capable of killing targets 500 meters away while being a much more maneuvrable weapon
Star wars heavy blaster pistols always felt busted. Always seems to all one shot kill troops.
Also Z6 troopers are nuts, take them in every situation. D-DAY like landing on Umbara they're still taking them into battle. I'm surprised they aren't issued a pistol just in case.
What the pistols don't show is that they are less stable, and thus accurate, and they reload more frequently, which is a small issue for blasters
Would you consider making a video about specialized GAR blasters? Ones like Fordo’s pistols, DC-17M, scuba rifle, and any other I’m forgetting or don’t know about.
It's not a blaster, but the most effective weapon in the entire clone army was definitely the Z-6 Chaingun used by some Marines.
I guess the flechette shotgun&shoulder resting chainguns don't count in this since they were battlefront exclusive or whatever
I think it more has to do with the fact all 4 main factions used the flechette shotgun
Blasters and flechette weapons are fundamentally different. One might argue that the 2005-SWBF2 chaingun is the concept for the Z-6.
the DC-17, that thing was the gun for me and my unit
The DC-15A was the blaster carbine, not the rifle. In the canon Clone Wars TV show, (S2E20) Boba Fett, disguised as a clone cadet, refers to the blaster carbine as a “DC-15A.” This is also reinforced in SWBF2 (2017)
You should do the empire’s expansive arsenal too
Before the video started I already knew the DC-17M would be the winner, but then it got disqualified for being too awesome. Fair play, it wouldn't be a fair contest to have such a badass 3-in-1 competing against all the others. They're all cool, but I mean come on, a weapon that is SMG, Sniper, AND Grenade Launcher? No contest.
The DC-15A had an effective range of up to 10KM.
Which is why in the clone wars series why always see them get within 20 feet of droids before shooting
Loved the Westar
I think the images for the 15A and the 15S were accidentally switched (Of the opposite weapon) :)
I would take the dc-15 carbine and the Z-6 rotary cannon.
In star wars they nerfed the mg 42 into a semi auto rifle instead of a machine gun 💀
If the blaster can effectively scrap clankers then I’m using it
The DC-15A is basically a sniper rifle given a standard service rifle firing speed by raw power and the amount there were the DC-15A is the best but yes the DC-15S would be the most versatile while not sacrificing too much power
7:35 damn so imagine having something like a 100 round g3 but a 40 round minigun haha
Can never go wrong with the DC-15s carbine.
You forgot the Valken 38x sniper rifle
All of them
>impressive range of up to 10km
>multiple scenes where clones literally cannot hit what's in front of them.
Clanka, please.
Best weapons and equipment of any faction
The A is basically the FN SCAR 17 and the S is basically the Colt M4A1
My favorite Blaster is the DC-17m for nostalgia reasons.
DC-15a. That range, that sweet, sweet range
i would love a shart of this info
Just remember, don't be the side character who has a machine gun, they always die
Dc-15a for sure from this list, still like the commando weapon more tho
You accidentally swapped the graphics for the DC15A and S
The Westar M5 is my personal favorite.
I think the best one was DC-15s since most clones used them and I love democracy, I love the Republic...
Hmm just think for the z-6 that’s only 166 rpm. Equivalent to our worlds maxim machine gun. However it’s real world counterpart, the m132 mini gun fires around 1,500 rounds per minute
Without watching, wouldn’t it have been the WESTAR M5? It was a general improvement to the DC-15 blaster rifle with better range, ammunition capacity, accuracy and firepower, capable of blowing through the top of an AAT in a single shot. It also came with an underslung grenade launcher. Although I’m not sure if it’s canon anymore.
Ok, Geetsly said the M5 severely lacked in range, but unless what I read was wrong, it was just generally an all round improvement… not sure where he got that info
Honestly thought the z6 would be heavier. 16kg isn't too bad
The quad blaster became less uncommon in the empire, used by shore troopers. The Z6 remained the essentially one of a kind rotary cannon for at least half a century or more, and all major factions sans the First Order used it. The First Order in a sense made a more manoeuvrable machine gun which could be set up as a mounted mg or used similarly to a rotary gun, but it traded sheer output for all of this. The DC-15S was quickly phased out because it wasn't as good as the E-line of blasters. The DC-15A on the other hand remained popular with the Empire, who upgraded them heavily to serve as modular heavy weapons platforms. Standard DC-15As could be found being used by jumptroopers since their jump jets negated the weight of the blaster somewhat. The Westar line came to an end after the Republic massacres the Mandalorian Protectors (legends version), although they may continue to be used amongst the Old Mandalorian faction (basically the canon version of the protectors who willingly accepted the New Mandalorian government's order to leave Mandalore and who remained in fairly large numbers). The DC-17M most likely continued service for Imperial commandos, and the DC-17 pistol was used by rebels, particularly those who'd had a past relationship with the Republic.
i think you have the pictures for the ds 15 a and s flipped
Is it just me or does Fordo’s dc17 look like a dc15s with the foldable stock removed and the weird triangular iron sight things sawed off
Read somewhere that Rex heavily modified his pistols for higher damage at the cost of only 25 shots per cartridge. And the pistol is synonymous with Rex. He's only ever been seen using a different weapon less than 10 times. Those who carry them rarely ever use them. Or at least get shown using them.
Really no one else noticed that the dc15 rifle and carbine pictures are swapped in the beginning?
Almost forgot to mention I liked the picture from the mobile game Star Wars Commander. I really enjoyed the game about four years ago now and am unable to find it in my Google Play store. Any tips on where to download it would be greatly appreciated.
Incase you were unaware, “stopping power” isn’t really a true or real measurement of power. It’s just a made up term to explain how much energy is in a singular shot. A more accurate thing would be muzzle velocity and joules. At least for real world weapons, Star Wars weapons though? Maybe it is a real measurement. Or they use a different measurement since it’s a bolt. Good video though and I’m pretty sure most people knew what you were talking about, since that’s kinda the point of the term stopping power. Keep the vids coming dude!
All of em
DC-15A fan here purely because Cody used it 😁
5:47 single shot... pump action? What does it do when you pump it?
my dream loadout would be a dc-15a rifle and a dc-17 as a sidearm
I refuse to forgive you for not ranking the dc-17m despite including it in the video. That rifle is an absolute BLAST (pun intended) to use!
Sooo, how the frak did Han get ahold of *TWO* Cip-Quads for the Falcon's turrets!?!?
ranking the imperial arsenal would be more interesting , much more varied choice and ro be honest they are a straith improvment over the republic arsenal
