However, that was not always the case. Due to supply shortages suffered by the RLA, some troopers received little or no proper equipment, and thus had to use scavenged weapons and armor. Some clone defectors were known to have just used their Phase I, and later Phase II, armor. Standard equipment, provided by Baktoid Combat Automata, included a set of green camouflage armor, an ARX-17 blaster rifle, and an LK-9 blaster pistol. Some wielded different weapons for various reasons, such as those scavenged from enemies.
