The standard ranged weapon of both military personnel and civilians in the galaxy, the blaster pistol fires cohesive burst of light-based energy called bolts.
Blasters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, delivering a wide range of damage capability.
Many blaster pistols have stun settings that incapacitate a target, rather than inflicting physical damage. While blasters do deliver a searing concussive blast, they can be foiled by magnetic seals and deflector shields. 2001 Lucasfilm Ltd. Terms of Use and Privacy Policy . Advertising inquiries .
