The 434 DeathHammer, also known as the Model 434 heavy blaster pistol, was a popular heavy blaster pistol manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc..
Description[]

A compact blaster pistol, the 434 earned the nickname "DeathHammer" from its loyal users because of its heavy durasteel plating (resulting in a weight of 1.2 kg) and deadly fire capability - rivaling that of some blaster rifles.
Selling for 650 credits, the DeathHammer was popular among bounty hunters, mercenaries and other professional gunslingers on worlds such as Tatooine. Because of its near ubiquity within those professions, owners often decorated or modified their DeathHammers.[4]
History[]
The Kubaz spy, Garindan used one of these pistols.[4] The gunslinger Gallandro was known to use a Model 434 in combat.[5]
During the beginning phase of the Swarm War, Lando Calrissian gave Han Solo a DeathHammer after UnuThul took his DL-44 heavy blaster pistol.[6]
The Alliance to Restore the Republic operative Davar Hamalcal carried a DeathHammer blaster pistol as part of his personal arsenal.[7]
