BLASTER PISTOL
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
While the blaster pistol is generally intended to be used to fire one round each time the trigger is pulled, there is a setting on the blaster to toggle a three round burst which will fire three shots in short sequence upon pulling the trigger. These bursts only fire three shots each time the trigger is pulled, holding the trigger down does not result in more shots being fired. There is a noticeable increase in recoil, with accuracy loss, during the burst firing mode.

DESCRIPTION
A standard blaster pistol of average size, this weapon is equipped with a power pack capacity for fifty shots and enough blaster gas to last one hundred shots. The power packs simply need to be ejected and replaced, as one would a cartridge, and blaster gas canisters can quickly be replaced in the standard method. This weapon is typically only effective within a personal range, and its accuracy drops when engaging the three-round burst mode. The burst mode fires three shots in sequence with each pull of the trigger, adding recoil and decreasing accuracy with each successive round fired - meaning the third shot will most likely be quite a bit off from the first shot in terms of precision.
