- Double Tap: The blaster is able to fire two rounds at once due to the dual triggers.
- Cycle: With each squeeze of a single trigger the barrel that currently rests at the top is cycled out through clockwise rotation. Thus allowing a brief period of cool-down before being utilized once again.
- Any Other: There is nothing particularly special when it comes to the Blaster Pistol itself. It isn't indestructible, it isn't capable of annihilation (perhaps in the right hands), and it is prone to all the malfunctions any ordinary blaster is.
- Burning Up: The weapon is prone to overheating if fired over an extended period of time, despite what the benefit of cycling barrels leads some to believe. It takes a certain familiarity that most of the galaxy cannot afford to utilize this weapon to it's fullest extent.
The RB-03 Blaster Pistol is a durable and compact personal defense weapon that was brought to the ever-growing weapons market. Unfortunately, it failed to reach expectations in it's sales. Finding that a plethora of other weapons already on the market were capable of providing the same results with less familiarity with said blaster. As a result, it was discontinued. The remaining models finding themselves in possession of less then reputable salesman.
It is a fairly standard blaster pistol that has the capacity of fifty power cells and the ability to let loose one-hundred bolts. It is of a sleek design, most finding it fairly easy on the eyes. The dual barrel being the main point of attraction, as well as the red/green safety notification light (depending on which mode is active) that rests slightly above and further down the weapon than the triggers, themselves.
Unfortunately, the RB-03 was often disregarded for simpler designs due to a confusion in the design itself. The rotating, twin blaster barrels allow for continuous fire, as well as simultaneous fire when both triggers are squeezed, over a period of time- yet, not a never-ending stream. With the capacity to overheat if abused, a particular familiarity with the weapon's workings was to be made before utilizing it to it's fullest extent. Rather then the simpler models that are understood by the citizen simply in need of a weapon that can defend them against the common criminal.
