The E-7 blaster rifle is a much-needed improvement to the outdated E-5 used by the original Confederacy. Nearly every fault in the original rifle was mitigated in Escharum Risk Control's model, though the use of inexpensive raw materials persists to ensure a maximum cost-production ratio. Like its predecessor, the E-7 can be easily mass produced using simple designs and common materials. This enables virtually any factory to manufacture the E-7 with minimal restructuring of existing equipment.

High modularity of parts and attachments enables users to replace damaged components and customize the E-7 for nearly any combat scenario, respectively. The original droid-centric design was refit to better suit a hybrid droid-trooper Confederate army, where organic soldiers have become more common. Internal heat sinks and a sophisticated waste energy conduit reduces excess heat. The addition of a modern targeting system, buttstock, and ergonomic underbarrel foregrip further enhance the E-7's universal design.
