While I don't really see him have an opportunity to study alien species, but we can say that was a part of their fast-learning curve, and that he was attracted to it, and during deployment did his iown research. Please expand a bit on the modifications of the Z-6 rotary blaster. You added an ion blaster on it and a autmated recharger that will replace power packs when required?Otherwise, accepted.

Sorry I'll explain. Slag found a training remote either on a mission or just as part of his clone trooper training, he kept it as his own and began to tinker with it between missions, replacing each blaster with an ion gun and change the targeting parameters to inorganic hostile. Then, later, he installed a recharging dock for the remote into the rotor cycle of the z-6 so it can be slaved to fire its ion shot at the same time he's opening fire on the enemy say 1 ion shot per second while the z-6 is belting out 10 per second or faster. It can either bleed off some energy from every shot to recharge the remote (say 1% to 0.1% per shot sent to the remote, recharging it after every 100-1000 rounds fired) or else the rotor can turn a turbine of simple copper wire and magnets to generate electricity to charge the remote.
