Model Q4 hold-out blaster pistol

The Merr-Sonn Model Q4 "Quickfire" is a hold-out blaster.

The Quickfire was intended to be designed around a power pack rather than energy cells like most hold-out blasters are. Unlike a previous model that attempted this - the lackluster BlasTech HSB-200 - the Quickfire succeeded in doing this. As a result, the Quickfire does not reload like most hold-out blasters (by replacing spent energy cells); it must hook up to a power source via a special cable included with the weapon. This rechrage takes only 10 minutes.

Not only does the Quickfire have more shots per recharge, it also does more damage per shot than most hold-outs. It does have a weakness, however, which is its range - even shorter than usual for a hold-out blaster.
