Sporting blaster

Description[]

Sporting blasters were designed for use in firing ranges and small-game hunting, hence their namesake. The blaster pistol variants were associated withthe galaxy's rich and powerful who wanted a blaster for personal protection but not an awkward, cumbersomeblaster rifle. Nobility appreciated the fact that they could be agilely broken down into three parts and reassembled after transport. Being light and easy to carry, they were sometimes used for dueling.^[1] While they had a shorter range and packed less power than a standard blaster, these aspects helped make the blaster pistols highly affordable and obtainable by nobles and non-nobles alike - with little bureaucratic hassle required.
