DESCRIPTION
The DT-12 was a relatively expensive blaster pistol offered by BlasTech known for its compact frame and wide, non-human-friendly trigger guard and grip. This weapon could alternate firing regular shots and stun bolts using a side switch. The construction was sturdy and reliable in grimy conditions owing to a closed system and comprehensive heat sink technology.Both the barrel shroud and side-mounted regulation rods vented heat away from internal systems. A DT-12 could empty a power pack with continued fire without barrel warping or overheating, although it still wasn't advised to make a habit of it. The targeting 'antenna' and sensor scope were used for both iron-sight aim and linking to a HUD rather than a bulky macroscope. Its power packs are slim, holding seventy-five shots that go out to forty meters.
Forgoing features like ammo count displays or electronic switches, the DT-12 is instead prized for the reliability and workmanship of its more manually-minded construction and compact galven circuitry. Blastech managed to build a powerful and durable weapon into a more compact package that retained ease of disassembly and maintenance. Customized grip panels and logo are available with purchase.
DT-12s remain in production to this day, running about 900 credits brand new.
LEGALITY
Legal. Ownership of blaster pistols is not restricted in most of the Galaxy, however openly carrying such a weapon in public might be on more "civilized" worlds. On less civilized worlds, it still might draw unwanted scrutiny.INTENT
To introduce the iconic Greedo pistol from canon to the forum.
