DESCRIPTION​

The Westar-34, arguably one of the most famous blasters in the galaxy. It was the preferred weapon of choice for the bounty hunter Jango Fett, and also a go-to sidearm for his son, Boba Fett. Before and during the Clone Wars, these blasters felled many Jedi and other iconic figures like the legendary Cad Bane, who met his demise against this handcannon. These days it's commonly seen in holofilms in the hands of characters needing a sleek, yet dangerous, pistol for their cool action shots.

Unlike most blasters, the Westar-34 is built from a very useful Dallorian Alloy, making it much better for sustained fire and ideal for brief, yet fast-paced exchanges. The ammunition capacity is also somewhat lacking compared to other pistols, but the immense firepower these pistols pack more than makes up for it. But despite the heavy material it's made of, it is still remarkably light for a quick draw and ease of use. This is thanks to the hollowed out grip and minimalistic design of the pistol. Though, despite its design, it is still extremely modular with spaces to add a scope, laser sight, flashlight, and a plethora of other items. It's minimalistic design also makes it very reliable, adding even more to the dangerous close-range capabilities of the pistol.

These days the pistols are quite rare to get a hold of, especially because of the fact that their manufacturer is also no longer operating. Though, there are some smaller outlaw companies who manage to reproduce these fine weapons which keeps their presence in the black market still relevant. Of course, these modern recreations don't go for nearly as much as an original CCT Westar-34.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Heavy blasters are commonly illegal in any civilized system, though there are exceptions for people to use them in military roles if they are able to afford them. It's also pretty easy to find them on the black market, though they do fetch a really expensive price.

INTENT​

To create a blaster with a stun capability as well as to introduce the weapon from Canon. Based off the original Westar-34 we see in both movies and the series.

ADVANCED TECH​

YES. This is a heavy blaster, and a restricted and expensive one at that. A plot of 1-2 threads is needed to get one's hands on one of these.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure this isn't a heavy pistol. It fires way too fast. I would probably either pick a different weapon to turn into a heavy pistol or make this... not heavy.

"Luckily, [heavy] weapons are usually slow firing"

With the damage it does in AotC as well as the fact that it drops a Space!Rhino with one shot to the head, I'm pretty sure it is a heavy blaster. Tho I will admit the firing rate in the movie is ridiculous.

Tho there is still the 2rps limit on semi auto weapons as well as the fact that this is still a heavy blaster and a light one at that. I'd imagine it'll be firing a lot slower than we see in AotC and more in line with the handling of heavy blasters on the site. But if it seems to be an issue, I can always throw in a bit there about the firing rate and recoil of the weapon.

There's really nothing in legends or canon that indicates this is a heavy weapon- in fact, most of the description seems to emphasize fast firing close range surpise attacks. I also see no mention anywhere of a stun setting.

The damage I went with simply due to the damage we see the pistol does both in AotC as well as The Clone Wars, along with the lack of a damage output on the wiki pages. Plus the small explosions it makes when impacting something also is more in line with a heavy blaster than a normal medium blaster. So that was a bit of a liberty I took with the write up.

As for the stun setting, that's also a creative liberty I took to go along with the "no kill" policy of the site.

This needs to be adjusted per the recent tech updates and also per what I said above.

Honestly I've forgotten about this. So feel free to archive this
