- Devastating Punch: Though seemingly a harmless product of Jawa overingenuity, shock blasters can be deceptively deadly in close quarters. This CA-87 has been modified to shoot blaster cartridges in addition to stun rounds, a single shot can easily slice through most body armor.
- Impossible to Aim: There is no finesse to the CA-87, you couldn't aim it if you tried. Anything beyond an immediate cone in front of the wielder, and it would be impossible to guess where the blast might end up.
A gift to Kingsley from his Jawa crew, the CA-87 is a very old design. Retrofitted shock blasters, it wasn't until the original Galactic Civil War that the first were modified to shoot blaster cartridges. Now more a curiosity than a weapon of warfare, many of these can be found throughout the Outer Rim if you know where to look. This particular model is a fearsome one, modified for maximum stopping power at the cost to any accuracy it may have had left. The CA-87 is just as much a deterrent as it is a deadly implement.
