DESCRIPTION​

Originally designed during the expansion era as more and more small humanoid races were being discovered and were being made available for trade. The weapon was developed to be wielded by smaller than the average humanoid hand and as such was just a very small blaster. While this should have lead to a specific and potentially niche market, popularity for the pistol exploded. The inherent size of the blaster made it very easy to conceal either in a decent pocket or a large hand. I was also found to be difficult to detect in a regular to sloppily run pat down search owing to the weapon's slim profile when well hidden. The overall usefulness of the weapon has kept it in demand for well over a century and it can be found almost anywhere today.

LEGALITY​

Legal to own throughout the blaster-legal parts of the galaxy, often illegal to conceal on more civilised planets without some form of license or special dispensation, specifically in and around the galactic core.

INTENT​

To make an ubiquitous concealable hold-out blaster that can be concealed with relative ease.

ADVANCED TECH​

NO. One can buy this at any local blaster trader or emporium.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Hmmm. I think this could have been posted as generic tech (though could be wrong). Compare to the baseline holdout blaster

 

[Andrewza]

Yeah it just a hold out blaster

Indeed though the explicitly concealable nature of this weapon is kinda new and not something the rules really cover outside of armour functions. I felt like that could be something that might need actual approval.

I like it! could there be any attachments?

Hold out blasters by their very nature are typically concealable. This looks fine. Moved to Gentech.

@ThatOrigionalGuy Like any approved tech on the site there are no restrictions to writing up submissions for them with attachments, though as there are only pre-approved armour mods any such rewrites would need to pass approval from the tech admins. :)

Oh ok, thanks
