The DH-17 blaster rifle was a type of blaster rifle manufactured by BlasTech Industries that was originally employed by the Rebel Alliance, being used by Rebel operatives such as Bistan.[2]

Some of the surviving ground forces of the Resistance used refurbished DH-17 blaster rifles while fighting in the trenches against the First Order during the Battle of Crait.[4] The refurbished rifles had hand-calibrated macroscopes and were black and silver in color.[1]
