==Description==
The DL-44 heavy blaster pistol was used during the years of the Galactic Republic and the Age of the Empire. It was considered one of the most powerful blaster pistols in the galaxy, delivering massive damage at close range; however, it overheated quickly. The DL-44's capacitor can charge a double-power laser-bolt without overheating. It's firepower is powerful for a pistol, without compromising accuracy, making it ideal for use by military forces, as well as bounty hunters and smugglers.Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy The DL-44 was easily modifiable which allowed Solo to make a number of modifications on his own, including, at one point, removing the blaster's motion-sensitive barrel scope. This pistol can also be reconfigure into a blaster rifle by including an extended barrel with the existing flash-suppressor, dissembled the existing D3x macroscope, and an attachable stock. This version was used by Tobias Beckett in the trenches of Mimban before he deconstructed his DL-44 and gave it to Han Solo, who used it for the rest of his life.
