What I had a problem with the game was a few technical innaccuracies with the guns. The rifle had an ammo count of 30 or so rounds a magazine(if my memory is correct) but in the Star Wars universe, standard DC-15 rifles held enough Tibana gas to fire 200 or so rounds each cartrige
Yeah that's the difference between DC-15 and DC-17 which is standard armament for Commandos. You have DC-15s (sidearm model), DC-17 and than various guns that you can pick up.
I don't know but 60 rounds sounds pretty acceptable. Taking a look at it, it seems the catrige is considerable smaller than the DC-15s catridge. Probably a feature purposely made for Commandos to easily carry them.
DC-15S (with capital) is the carbine version of the DC-15A which is the full sized rifle. You don't see it until Ep 3 and is the predecessor of the Storm trooper E-11 Blaster rifle.
I very much like the DC-15S. A fun fact, they used British Sterling SMGs as props for the E-11 blaster and therefore also based the DC-15S on it as well. Same went with the rebel's blaster rifle which was based on the Sturmgehwer 44
