Talk:Blaster power pack

=Ammo consumption=

I would totaly disagree with this article stating that a powerpack would only hold 10 enough gas for 10 bolts.

Most moderatly powered blaster rifles would be able to get 100 shots or even more from a single powerpack, according to most sources.

High powered blasters or those that had been modified like Han Solo's DL44 used more gas, sometimes limiting it to as little as 25 shots.

A holdout blaster had a very small powerpack and held very little gas and could only manage a few shots.

Disrupter weapons used huge ammounts of blaster gas and had very high energy consumption as a result

In short there are two main factors in how many shots a powerpack can hold:
 * 1 The size of the powerpack. More gas would obviously last longer
 * 2 The power of the blaster. A more powerful blaster would consume much more blaster gas per shot, draining the powerpack faster

I'm not even going to bother listing the sources here because they really are on any article on wookiepedia, wikipedia, any of the RP rulebooks and the like with anything even remotly to do with a blaster.
