This weapon was designed and produced upon being ordered by
Chaussidier
who wanted to ensure that the captains and naval officers under his command could defend themselves if they were in personal danger. Therefore, the engineering team focused on making a blaster that was easy to use for those who were not combat experienced or had been able to escape personal combat for some time.The final product was a blaster pistol that had a very low recoil and would not easily overheat. Thus allowing the user to fire off many shots relatively carelessly and with relatively good accuracy. This made for a powerful weapon in the right hands - but due to the nature of its production, it was rare for it to ever be in the 'right hands'. Instead, the blaster was more similar to an ornament than anything else. Even in the right hands, however, the Tilsiter blaster has a rather limited range.
With its small size and silent firing function, this blaster can be easy to conceal. If fired in a somewhat noisy environment, it can also be hard to hear. Still, it does make noise and blaster bolts are bright, making true stealth nigh on impossible for a user who wishes to fire this weapon.
