DH17 Pistol Schematic

The DH17 Pistol Schematic is one of the earliest “named” pistol recipes a Weaponsmith learns. It unlocks in the Munition Essentials II skill tier around character level 26 and produces the iconic DH17 Pistol — the standard sidearm carried by Rebel troopers boarding the Tantive IV in A New Hope.

How to learn it

Trained automatically as part of the Weaponsmith profession tree — no loot or vendor purchase required. Most new crafters pick this up while working through their starter pistol rotation.

Resource quality recommendations

Damage stats track Aluminum and Copper quality (overall quality plus shock resistance for the ferrous component, conductivity for the metal). Reactive Gas caps the firepower of the inert petrochemical slot — survey for high-PE specimens before committing your stack. Exact ingredient amounts vary slightly by patch; the values shown reflect canonical NGE-era quantities.

Crafting strategy

Experimentation focuses on max- and min-damage modifiers with shock resistance as a secondary stat. Add optional Weapon Scope and Weapon Stock components for +1% damage each — most crafters bundle both since the parts are cheap. Low resource cost and broad availability make the DH17 a profitable bazaar listing for new Munitions Traders.
