LD-1 Target Blaster Rifle

The Merr-Sonn LD-1 Target Blaster Rifle was technically a sporting blaster, but in actuality it was nearly as powerful as a military-grade blaster rifle like the E-11. This was intentional - the goal of the project was to create a weapon that approaches the damage of a blaster rifle without the pesky legal restrictions that come with such weapons.
The LD-1, with its long barrel, was quite useful as a sniper rifle, and could be disassembled into a carrying case like most such weapons.
There were rumours of an offshoot of the weapon, the LD-1a, that was produced in limited numbers for the Imperial Security Bureau, which took a few cues from the SoroSuub X-45 sniper rifle, namely its over-focused beam. 
== Foot Note ==
This weapon is used within a RESOLUTION Plots and is so part of the RSNverse of Star Wars lore.
In the RSNverse, the history may run a different course to that of canon or the EU.
