Working around a basic limitation in capabilities inherent in typical man-portable blaster weapons, the Z-6 incorporated a rotary assembly of six barrels, each with its own actuating chamber, wrapped around a coolant-lined core. The Z-6 was large and unwieldy and required training to use effectively.
It was similar to a heavy repeating blaster, except it did not require a tripod to operate and thus could be carried by a single heavy weapon specialist.
This weapon can also be attached to a power generator for longer use.The Z-6 rotary blaster cannon was a heavy weapon that fired a massive spray of blaster bolts at a target. After 20 shots, the power pack must be replaced. The rotary blaster cannon requires a power pack to operate. However, if you do not brace the rotary blaster cannon, you take a -5 penalty to your attack roll in addition to the normal penalties associated with firing a weapon in auto-fire mode (see page 156 of the Saga Edition core rulebook). If you brace a rotary blaster cannon before firing it, you can choose to target a 2x4 square area (instead of the normal 2x2 square area) with your auto-fire attack. However, the weapon is inaccurate when the wielder does not take time to brace it.
The weapon is popular among the clone troops of the Galactic Republic because it can be fired from the hip, allowing the wielder to cover a greater fire arc with a single burst. It is carried by a single heavy-weapons specialist, but unlike most heavy repeating blasters, the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon does not require a tripod. Coming to prominence at the dawn of the Clone Wars, Merr-Sonn's Z-6 rotary blaster cannon is similar to a heavy repeating blaster in many ways. If braced, can target 2x4 area, if not then additional -5 atkĬlone troops, ARC troopers, Kota's militiaīlaster Cannon, Rotary (GaW) - Heavy WeaponĪ rotary blaster cannon is a heavy weapon that fires a massive spray of blaster bolts at a target.
