Disruptor/Legends

A disruptor is a particularly powerful variant of blaster technology. Disruptors are illegal on many worlds. They are a preferred weapon of assassins. Examples include the Tenloss DX-7 pistol and DX-10 rifle.

On a basic level, a disruptor works by using large quantitites of blaster gas (such as Tibanna gas), many times more than a standard blaster. The resultant blast is short-ranged, less cohesive, and extraordinarily powerful. A disruptor is capable of disintegrating a humanoid target by destroying the bonds that hold their constituent atoms together.

As a drawback, in addition to being illegal and short-ranged, disruptors generally only have enough ammunition for a few shots.
