Intent: To add to the list of pistols available for factions and individuals. Almost everything in the Unified list is a slug thrower so I figured I would add in a blaster to liven things up a bit.
Model: PSB-3hv "Hiraku"
Type: Particle Beam Blaster
Size: 240 mm in length, weight 1.4 Kg
Composition: Titanium, Durasteel, Polymers
Range: Effective range is 50 meters 75 Meter Maximum
Ammunition Capacity: Uses Elthar Security Solutions standard set up for a powerpack that holds both the gas and the powerpack. 12 rounds.
Description: Created as part of the PSB line that has gained popularity thanks to the "Shoki" rifle. The pistol was again designed for those contractors and individuals that need to be able to make sure that their target goes down. The bolt itself can penetrate light armor with ease. This is achieved thanks to a system similarly used on the very old and venerable DL-44. The heavy capacitor allows it to fire twice the charge of a normal blaster pistol. As such this weapon has been banned on some peace loving planets, but most are starting to buy them for their own forces getting ready for the coming storm. An added benefit learned from the the "Hiraku"'s big brother the "Shoki" is that it has fond a niche with Bounty Hunters who find them self dealing with Lightsaber armed targets. While no where near as powerful a blast as its big brother, the "Hiraku" will rattle the Lightsaber wielders grip and the flash of light and noise of the Particle Beam discharging can partially blind, deafen, or both the wielder of the Lightsaber. The result is combatants have can find it hard to keep blocking round after round. There was even a report of a Force user that held it to close to his face when blocking and lost a good portion of his own nose as he did not have a decent grip on his weapon.
Built to look good and work even better, the heavy frame of the blaster allows it to absorb much of the heavy recoil. The blaster was designed to be quick to disassemble and just as quick to clean and put back together, the important parts are made of Durasteel or encased in it to prevent breakage. The pistol itself was tested in everything from swamps to frozen tundras and was shown to work regardless of its environment. This has started to earn the blaster a nice reputation with the law and those flirting at the end of the law. Add to that I fair price of 850 Credits the pistol is set to take its fair share of the market.
Features:
- Integration with armor HUDs
- Rails for custom scopes
- Fold down Iron sights, activating the Holo 1x red dot sight
- Under barrel attachments of lights, pointer or stunners
- Various ergonomics kits available for various species
- Device that can alert a HUD, or vibrate the pistol gently when down to its last 3 shots
