DESCRIPTION​

The Q8 quicksilver blaster pistol is the successor to Blastech's popular L7 Liquidsilver light blaster pistol. The Q8 is primarily made up of the same parts from L7 in terms of internal structure. Popular with smugglers, the design allows for it's design to easily mix with a ship's internal structure and be overlooked by scans. What's more is the housing of the pistol keeps it from being detected with scans even when passing through customs.

While the stopping power of the light blaster is outmatched by other blasters on the market, it has its benefits that keep it a valued design. The blaster pistol possesses a small bullpup design that has been remarked as convenient for smaller races which can used it as a makeshift stock. The ambidextrous controls allow for loading and unloading. For those that don't care for the minimalist style without any bells and whistles there are small rails allow for after market attachments. A decently balanced weight and low recoil make it still a common weapon to not be far from a spacer's hands.

LEGALITY​

Legal. Ownership of blaster pistol is not restricted in most of the Galaxy, however openly carrying such a weapon in public might be on more "civilized" worlds. On less civilized worlds, it still might draw unwanted scrutiny.

INTENT​

To create a standard light blaster pistol based on an outdated canon design that would be hard for customs officers and other authorities to cater more towards smugglers and other void-farers.
