Description: The Valicore Engineering Wrist Blater, or VEWB is a relatively simple design. Quite simply it takes the archaic wrist blaster technology used by bounty hunters in the days of the Clone Wars and the Empire and replaces standard blaster fire with particle beam blaster fire. Like the bounty hunter Chata Hyoki's left wrist blaster the VEWB also has room for a cord launcher, whether it's a fibercord whip used to ensnare targets up close or liquid cable launcher to assist with maneuverability. Like the Dur-24 Wrist launcher it's shots are approximately rifle-grade in strength, though obviously possesses less room for ammunition than a standard rifle. Efforts have been made to make the wrist blaster compatible with Blastech Plug'n'fire technology but it has been ineffective thusfar.

Like most Valicore Engineering products the plating of the VEWB is made from Sith Alchemized metal, but as it's more than uniquely produced the quality is not exemplary. It can withstand a couple lightsaber blows but not sustained damage, nor can it shield a man from Force Lightning or anything else from the Force. It is slightly adujustable in size to allow for variations in how thick of armor the customer might or might not wear, but when set has a tight hold so as not to fall off the wearer mid-combat.

Horrific name. Balanced design. Approved pending secondary.

This is possibly the worst name in the history of Factory stuff.

But the gear is just fine. Don't poke your eye out with it.
