- Canon Link: RSKF-44 Heavy Blaster
- Primary Source: Heavy Blaster Pistol
- Manufacturer: BlasTech Industries
- Affiliation: Andan Solo
- Model: RSKF-44 (Modified)
- Modularity: Yes; scope attachment available
- Production: Unique
- Material: Nutorium-plated Durasteel, blaster components
- Classification: Heavy Blaster Pistol
- Size: Small
- Weight: Light
- Ammunition Type: Power cell
- Ammunition Capacity: 50 (power cell)
- Reload Speed: Slow
- Effective Range: Personal
- Rate of Fire: High (Very High in alternate fire mode)
- Stopping Power: High (Average in alternate fire mode)
- Recoil: Very Low
- Can fire in fast, sustained volleys due to the two-barrelled blaster design, firing two bolts per shot.
- Modified alternate fire mode, which fires both barrels individually, increasing firing rate when toggled.
- Nutorium plating blocks most weapon scanner sensors, allowing for weapon to be concealed through checkpoints.
- Hair-trigger.
- RSKF-44 Custom allows for sustained fire, utilizing effective venting and cooling systems to support two-barrelled firing.
- Modified alternate mode allows for rapid fire function, causing blaster to shoot both barrels individually, further increasing bolt delivery.
- Sensor-blocking plating to help conceal weapon through checkpoints.
- Hair-trigger for increased firing response.
- Effective range limited due to compact design.
- Modified alternate mode lessens damage output per shot, due to reducing impact of two bolts simultaneously.
- Energy packs deplete rapidly, requiring very frequent replacement during sustained blaster fights.
- Sensor-blocking plating not infallible to detection from high-end scanners.
A standard RSKF-44 heavy blaster pistol that has been modified by Andan Solo to allow for a rapid fire mode. The weapon is a distinct two-barrel design, which fires two blaster bolts as standard. The modification allows for a toggle to be activated, which separates the dual barrels firing sequence, increasing bolt output by double, however the damage output per shot is lessened as a result. Due to firing blaster bolts, there is little-to-no recoil, despite the speed of firing the weapon has.
Being of average size, this weapon is equipped with a power pack capacity for fifty shots. The power packs eject from a side loader, which opens similar to old style revolver slugthrowers, and can simply be replaced as per standard blaster methods. This weapon is typically only effective within a personal range, and its accuracy drops when engaging at longer ranges. The barrel of the weapon is of fine craftsmanship, allowing sustained fire without overheating or melting the barrel.
Additionally, nutorium plating has been applied to the weapon, which allows for significantly improved sensor-blocking when passing through weapon detectors. This can allow Andan to conceal his blaster, affording him the opportunity to stay armed when otherwise forced to disarm. Yet, the plating isn't infallible, and high-end/military grade scanners may still detect the weapon.
