Jawa ionization blaster/Legends

The Jawa ionization blasters were built by the jawas who lived on Tatooine to capture droids. The guns themselves were cobbled together from whatever scrap the Jawas could scavange. The gun was made of a blaster stripped down to its power pack, and then had its componanants replaced with a droid-restraining bolt and a accu-accelerator (from a ships ion drive.

When fired the blaster attaches the restraining bolt to the droid and then orders a stop command which made the droid halt. Mormaly the bolt just tells a droid to halt, but the addition of the accu-accelerator causing a large ion burst to completly disable the droid for a short while. Its maximum range was about 12 metres whilst it optimum range was about 8 metres. The blaster would cause no damage against organic creatures but would give them a nasty sting.
