"So begins now, the DRONE WARS!"

1. Short Range

No contest: the Boltok has three times the ammo and a lot more power. The Scout trooper blaster pistol can kill someone wearing no armor at close range, yet Drones have naturally rock-hard hides. This is a no brainer.

EDGE: DRONES!

2. Mid Range

The hammerburst 2 doesn't have anywhere near the ammo of the E-11 blaster rifle, but it has far more punch, and possibly more range (the "High" range makes me wonder if it surpasses the 300 meter range). Both weapons are petty much tied for accuracy. Its unknown which weapon has superior range, but due to the ammount of ammo involved, I would say the E-11 blaster rifle gets the edge. Sure, it will take a large amount tof blaster shots to kill a drone, but a scout can keep u a constant barrage, while the Drones will be busy reloading, reloading, reloading.

EDGE: IMPERIAL SCOUTS!

3. Long range

The Longshot sniper rifle only has a 6th of the rounds of the E-11 sniper rifle, but it is unearthly powerful. The E-11 can inflict moderate injuries on a powerful man (if lucky), but it won't do much against a Drone's tough hide. One would need multiple shots on a Drone from an E-11 in order to be effective (Perhaps more than the 6 rounds), while one shot from the Drones will obliterate the largest, toughest scout in the galaxy.

EDGE: DRONES!

4. Explosives

Both weapons can be used both as grenades and as mines, but due to the sheer power of a Drone, the Bolo grenade will have superior throwing range over the Bradium thermal detonator. Plus, unlike the Bolo grenade, the thermal detonator can only be activated with the right code: a Drone wont have to worry about entering a code to make it work, just spin it, chunk it and let it go off.

EDGE: DRONES!
