Pistol/Legends

pistols were firearms used as sidearms or backup. A pistol would tend to have less firepower than its rifle or carbine cousins. Blaster Pistols can be seen just about everywhere you'll go in the Galaxy. A pistol may have been the one of the most common weapons, but it usually wasn't a weapon of choice, mainly for a short range, and lack of power. However, some pistols, like the DC-17, had incredible amounts of power and firing speed for a sidearm. Normally, a soldier's favorite place for his pistol was in its holster. But in emergency situations, it could mean th difference between life, death, or worse.
