Sporting Blaster

Sporting blasters are similar in apearence to blaster pistols and even some carbines, but differed in the way they were used and accepted. Often, the most comman use was as a hunting side arm. Usually, in most models, the sporting blaster was a highly accurate, powerful blaster that discharged its energy in a short beam, not a single bolt. This was usefull for hunting large game because the weapon would burn away a large section of the sport's flesh, causing emence pain and as much phisical damage as possible. The weapons however, were often hard to maintain and care for, so they did not gain ecstensive use in combat due to this. Most militarys favored rugged durable pistols capable of long time abuse. Not a touchy, fragile weapon such as sporting blasters. But just as many hunters swear by the weapons as militarys oppose them.
