LF11 heavy blaster pistol

The LF11 heavy blaster pistol is a weapon in Sons of Dissent.

Background
The LF11 heavy blaster pistol was developed by pirate gunsmith Leth Cab on the planet Caterran in 15BBY. Cab designed the weapon specially to suit the needs of the pirate bands which roamed the Western Sand Sea region of Caterran. To this effect, the weapon was very barebones, employing a primitive break-action construction to allow for expedited reloading of four proprietary cartridges comprised of a minute amount of tibanna and a high-powered battery. These single-use cartridges produced a bolt similar in power to that of a typical blaster rifle. As such, this weapon enabled its user quick access to a large amount of firepower, especially for its weight class.

Certain Caterran pirates were known to carry multiple of these weapons strapped to their chest, to avoid needing to perform the cumbersome reload the weapon demanded. Being that this weapon was manufactured by a pirate and sold under-the-table to pirate crews, it was not common - though not unheard of - to encounter LF11 heavy blaster pistols beyond the borders of the Western Sand Sea.

Characteristics
While the LF11 boasts both high per-shot damage and high damage per second, its lengthy reload time and small magazine capacity limit its effectiveness in applications beyond that for which the weapon was intended: to unleash a burst of damage upon a single target quickly. It is considered an improved holdout weapon, and thus can be taken into restricted locations with a Sneak skill of 50 or higher.

Durability
The LF11 heavy blaster pistol can fire around 900 bolts, or the equivalent of 225 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
