Blasters
Blasters are perhaps the most common weapon in the known galaxy, being used by both military personnel as well as civilians. In the word of the infamous smuggler, Han Solo, "There's no match for a good blaster at your side." To make things a bit simpler, there is a quickie blaster statistics table that lists the basics of most popular models.

Hold-out blasters are perhaps the best form of personal defense weapon that one may find on worlds where blasters are restricted.
They are usually small enough to be hid in the palm of a human hand and are fairly cheap.

()Blaster pistols are the most common weapon in the galaxy and are the next step up from hold-outs. They are popular with urban
policeforces, traders and anyone else who needs to pack respectable firepower in a compact package.

Blaster carbines are shorter and less accurate than blaster rifles, the weapons they are based upon. However, they are rugged and
reliable and malfunctions are very rare. These weapons are less advanced than blaster rifles, and older models can often be found at
greatly discounted prices.

Among the most popular personal weapons in the galaxy, ()blaster rifles are in common use throughout the Imperial and Alliance forces.
Most are restricted on many worlds, being limited legally to only military and police forces.

Longer and more powerful than blaster rifles, repeating blasters are for large scale actions, often supplementing ground squads and
providing cover for artillery gunners while their weapons are being set up. These weapons are normally about one to one-and-a-half
meters long, and can be run off of power packs or attached to generators for unlimited firepower. They are normally available only to the
military.

()Sniper Blasters, though not as common as normal blasters, are just as useful. Most of these cost much more than normal
blasters. They have long ranges and a powerful punch, some have ranges that reach up to 3 km.

Add-ons and accessories that are useful to know about, if not own.

Common Blasters
This table is intended to provide the GM a basic selection of slightly less than top of the line blasters, excellent for struggling PCs, thugs, pirates and local military forces. These weapons are effectively sterile, as they have been widely produced under thousands of labels. They are all simple, reliable, time-proven weapons that have had few unknown quirks, flaws or eccentricities. (unless otherwise noted, all power packs for blasters cost 25 credits)
