Pulse cannon/Legends



A pulse cannon was a weapon designed to rapidly fire concentrated bursts of plasma, generally used to take out groups of fast-moving targets. They were generally not used by military forces due to their destructive nature. The pulse cannon shot out small orbs of blue or purple light that inflicted much pain on its victim.

IG-88, a droid bounty hunter, carried a modified version of this weapon, as did Dash Rendar. The Plasma cannons used by the Zann Consortium were sometimes referred to as a pulse cannon.
