Blaster

Blasters are probably the most common weapons in the galaxy, and come in a variety of forms from single-handed pistols to two-handed rifles. The following is a list of blasters that may be used as weapons in the ACC.

Pistols

Merr-Sonn 434 "Death Hammer"

Modeled on the Merr-Sonn blaster pistol, the 434 earned its nickname among the bounty hunters who preferred its solid construction and incredible stopping power. The 434 was plated with durasteel, making it heavy to carry, but capable of sustaining heavy fire. Many bounty hunters notched or decorated their 434 after each kill, making nearly every single 434 unique. The weapon's accuracy is low, although it's shooting range is quite wide, meaning that a sizeable force could be taken down easily.

Relby-K23

This blaster pistol shot a bolt which caused intense pain shortly before targets died from the blast. The safety on this weapon was prone to failure, and so it was restricted to military use. The Relby-K23, however, was used by ISB agents because of it's quick, stopping power and that it could be fitted with a sound compressor, if needed.

Westar-34

This Dallorian alloy weapon was a favored blaster of bounty hunters and other beings who relied upon surprise to attack their enemies. The Westar-34 was designed for sustained, close-range use, utilizing its Dallorian construction to absorb more heat than a standard blaster. In melee situations, the Westar-34 was near unstoppable in the hands of an experienced owner. Jango Fett, for example, used two of these pistols.

DL-18

A sleek, hand-held blaster built by Blas-Tech. They were quite plentiful during the later years of the Empire, and often found their way into the hands of the Alliance. One of the many places that saw a flood of DL-18s was the planet Tatooine, and the weapon earned the nickname "Mos Eisley Special."

BlasTech DL-44

The BlasTech DL-44 was one of the most popular weapons BlasTech ever produced. While its design gave it a short range, the DL-44 was extremely powerful for a hand-held weapon. Among its distinguishing features was its "cautionary pulser" grip, which provided a slight vibration to the user's gun-hand when the powerpack was getting low. The weapon, which was copied by Merr-Sonn's Flash 4 pistol and by Imperial Munitions, gained its popularity due to the fact that Han Solo used a modified version of this type of blaster.

Tenloss DX-2

This was the designation of a disruptor pistol produced by the Tenloss Syndicate during the New Order. Like other disruptor weapons, the DX-2 fired an energy blast that caused the target's molecules to become excited and lose cohesion, leading to the utter annihilation of the target. This disintegrative effect made them illegal in most parts of the galaxy, but Tenloss managed to continue to produce them for many decades.

Merr-Sonn IR-5 "Intimidator"

This was the brand name of the Merr-Sonn Munitions' IR-5 blaster pistol. The fully-automatic Intimidator lacked a strong punch, but could fire off an incredible amount of blasts in a short period of time. It was a bulky weapon which was quite expensive for its features, so it found acceptance only in certain wealthy circles.

MWC Enforcer

This projectile pistol was produced by the Morellian Weapons Conglomerate. It is larger than a slugthrower and has a heavy recoil action, which made rapid fire extremely erratic. MWC produced armament for the Morellian Enforcers during the Old Republic. As Morellian technology was far behind that of the modern galaxy, MWC produced a variety of slugthrowers and projectile pistols and rifles.

SoroSuub ELG-3A

Known as the "Diplomat's Blaster", the SoroSuub ELG-3A was part of a line of weapons produced for bodyguards and political operatives. Sleek and easily hidden, the ELG-3A provided the power of a pistol with the size of a hold-out blaster. It was primarily marketed as a defensive weapon, capable of stunning an attacker with limited collateral damage. Like the Relby K-23, ISB agents used this pistol in field operations.

Merr-Sonn J1 "Happy Surprise"

Produced by Merr-Sonn Munitions, the J1 was a holdout blaster known to many as the Happy Surprise. The weapon's name is Rodian was Kheth-saw, and it was named for the weapon's unusual configuration, which made it incredibly easy to hide. Unlike most blaster weapons which had a hand grip and a trigger, the J1 fit entirely within the palm of the hand. The barrel stuck out from between the second and third fingers, making it easy to carry in a clenched hand without arousing suspicion. The trigger was mounted at the top of the weapon, and was depressed with the thumb.

B22 Imperial

This hold-out blaster, produced by Merr-Sonn during the height of the Galactic Civil War, was generally considered the smallest such weapon ever produced. It was a powerful weapon, despite its size. Known as the Imperial or, in some circles, the 'Little Emperor', the B22 was originally produced for Imperial agents who needed an easily-concealed weapon.

Rifles

BlasTech 500 ESPO "Riot Gun"

This is BlasTech's version of the riot gun, produced for use by the Corporate Sector Authority during the early years of the New Order. A short-barreled rifle with an open-frame stock, the BlasTech 500 was designed to be powerful, but not necessarily accurate. Developed to help CSA Security officers control large mobs, the 500 came to epitomize "Corporate Sector logic" in the minds of many beings: when in doubt, shoot into a crowd.
