• Going the Distance: An electrobinocular located on the top of the E-7s can be moved to the shooter's eyes via a tubular arm. Droids can connect their photoreceptors to the rifle's targeting scope this way.
• Sig Cannister: The E-7s uses sig, a pressurized blaster gas with armor-piercing capabilities that produces devastating results against organics and droids alike.

• Kickback: Sig is a notoriously volatile blaster gas, resulting in high recoil.
• Slow and Steady: A very low rate of fire and small ammunition capacity requires patience and precision from the shooter.

In the hands of spec ops units, commando droids, and even battle droid assassins, the E-7s sniper rifle is a deadly precision weapon used by Confederate forces to oppress the battlefield. Based on the Clone Wars-era E-5s, the new E-7 model follows the same formula of devastating damage at the expense of maneuverability and fire rate. With a gas cartridge size of only 8 shots and high recoil, it is imperative that the shooter is well trained and patient.

To make up for these flaws, the E-7s utilizes a targeting scope and an attached electrobinocular which can be connected to a droid's photoreceptor for greater accuracy. Organic snipers with access to targeting suites in their armor can also make use of this feature.

The E-7s has incredible armor-piercing capabilities thanks to the use of sig gas as opposed to standard tibanna. To circumvent sig's infamous volatility that often compromises accuracy in blasters, the E-7s was designed with a reinforced laminoid frame to better withstand sig combustion. A duravlex firing chamber prevents the weapon from overheating.
