Voadam
Legend
They did have military weapons, didn't they?To be fair, it's reasonable that a droid be virtually immune to anything short of a military grade blaster rifle.
What's not reasonable is that the Ghorman front at this time didn't have heavy weaponry including military grade rifles and carbines. That they were still armed with light pistols and the like despite being armed by Luthen's "Axis" network just a year before Endor was hard to believe.
The whole first raid thing was to steal a shipment of military weapons to the secret armory.
Those at the protest though had concealable weapons as it was not planned as a military attack on the imperials.
