Certain more powerful weapons put greater demands on the gas cartridge, power pack, or both: less powerful weapons, like the Drearian Defense Conglomerate Defender sporting blaster pistol, relied largely on the power cell and used only a small quantity of gas, while very powerful weapons, such as the illegal disruptor, used much larger amounts of gas.
Most blaster power packs could supply energy for up to one hundred shots. Blaster gas cartridges could typically provide for up to five hundred shots before needing replacement. Most personal blasters had two kinds of ammunition: a gas cartridge and a power cell.
Additionally, a small amount of ozone was emitted as a trace product of the bolt emerging from the emitter nozzle, lending blaster bolts a distinctive smell that Han Solo characterized as being like burnt meat. Ī side effect of firing blasters was the gas conversion enabler heating up as gas was energized by the power pack, which could cause blasters to overheat, sometimes to the point of destruction. The color of the bolt depended on the gas used and the type of focusing device, and could vary from red to blue to orange to white. The particle beam was then focused through a prismatic crystal or a similar device, which generated a deadly high-energy particle beam, fired from the emitter nozzle as a bolt of glowing energy. In this chamber, the power pack energized the gas, before it passed into the actuating blaster module, where the now extremely high-energy gas was transformed into a compressed beam of intense energy particles, coupled with intense light. When the blaster was fired, a small amount of gas moved from the cartridge through the Heter valve into the gas conversion enabler chamber, commonly called the XCiter.
Generating the bolt relied on two components: a gas cartridge filled with an energy-rich blaster gas (typically Tibanna) and a power pack. Instead of firing a coherent beam of light like the archaic laser, the blaster fired a compressed, focused, high-energy particle-beam that was very destructive, commonly referred to as a "bolt". Here, the device is being rigged to explode. that always works" ― Kir Kanos destabilizes a blaster pistol, creating a makeshift bomb Ī blaster pistol. Throughout the Clone Wars, a clone trooper usually held a blaster rifle if not any type of specialist. Some beings used blasters from their youth: Anakin Skywalker owned a small ion blaster in his childhood, Leia Organa was given a sporting blaster when she was a teenager, and Mandalorian children were given blasters, along with extensive training, prior to becoming thirteen standard years old. Blasters ranged in size and power from compact pistols to large, heavy rifles to starship-mounted blaster cannons. The most commonly used weapon in the galaxy, blasters' intense beams consisted of compacted high-energy particles and intense light that could kill or paralyze their target, depending on the setting. " Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side." ― Han Solo, to Luke Skywalker on the supposed advantages of a blaster over a lightsaber Ī blaster, also called a gun, was a ranged weapon that fired bursts of particle beam energy called blaster bolts from a replaceable power pack.
