KotOR Item Heavy Blaster.png Heavy Blaster

 * Damage: Energy, 1-8

These resemble regular blasters in the same way Quoorian marshsuckers resemble mosquitoes. Sure, they both do damage, but the former definitely has the edge in kill-potential.

 * Attack Modifier: +1

The Mandalorian Blaster is a slightly more powerful version of the basic pistol common throughout the galaxy.

KotOR Item Mandalorian Heavy Pistol.png Mandalorian Heavy Pistol

 * Damage: Energy, 4-11
 * Damage Bonus: +2 Physical
 * Attack Modifier: +3

Mandalorians boast that a shot from one of these pistols can take a starship out of commission. It's an obvious exaggeration, but for safety's sake, most listeners just smile and nod.

KotOR Item Zabrak Blaster Pistol.png Zabrak Blaster Pistol

 * Damage: Energy, 4-9
 * On Hit: Stun 25% chance, 6 seconds, DC 10

This blaster is the staple of the Zabrak mercenary, known for deadly accuracy and exceptional damage.

 * Damage Bonus: +2 Physical
 * Attack Modifier: +2

The Zabrak killed many pirates who were attempting to seize shipments of these weapons and then sold them on the black market anyway. It's not a matter of where they end up, but of who gets paid.

KotOR Item Disruptor Pistol.png Disruptor Pistol

 * Damage: Physical, 1-4

These pistols are illegal in many planetary systems, being regarded as too powerful a weapon to be owned by civilians. Disruptors reduce solid matter to its constituent molecules. Unlike typical blasters, disruptors ignore most types of personal energy shields.

KotOR Item Mandalorian Ripper.png Mandalorian Ripper

 * Damage: Physical, 3-6
 * Attack Modifier: +2

A weapon similar to this energy-propelled slug-thrower belonged to Jigger Wraith, a bounty hunter who plagued the Republic years ago. Thirty-seven Mandalorians were executed for being him until sightings declined. As a type of disruptor, this weapon ignores most personal energy shields.

Hold out blasters
Hold out blasters have Range: 23m and Critical Threat: 19-20,x2 (10% chance).

KotOR Item Bothan Quick Draw.png Bothan Quick Draw

 * Damage: Energy, 2-5
 * On Hit: Stun 25% chance, 6 seconds, DC 10

 * Ion: +1-10 vs. Droid
 * On Hit: Stun 25% chance, 6 seconds, DC 10

 * Damage Bonus: +1-10 Ion
 * On Hit: Stun 50% chance, 6 seconds, DC 10

KotOR Item Bothan Shrieker.png Bothan Shrieker

 * Damage: Sonic, 2-5

This is an improvement over the standard sonic pistol design that must seem doubly shrill to the large ears of the Bothans.

KotOR Item Sonic Pistol.png Sonic Pistol

 * Damage: Sonic, 1-4
