DL-44 heavy blaster pistol

The DL-44 heavy blaster pistol is a weapon in Sons of Dissent.

Characteristics
A rugged, powerful blaster manufactured as early as 33BBY, the Age of the Empire saw this weapon outlawed for its capacity to generate bolts capable of penetrating the plastoid armor of Imperial stormtroopers. On planets such as Caterran, the weapon was known among other such weapons to be regularly traded on the black market.

Being a heavy blaster pistol, the DL-44 could produce bolts more similar in power to those of blaster rifles, though the speed at which the gas cylinder cycled was slower than most weapons of a similar construction. Additionally, due to the heat build-up of the DL-44's overcharged bolts, the weapon required more frequent maintenance than less powerful pistols.

Durability
The DL-44 could fire around 600 bolts, or the equivalent of 40 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
