- "The micro-grenade launcher is a devastating weapon, but make sure that you replace the magnetic rings that propel the explosive. During a firefight on Maro Della, the rings—which had degraded after repeated use—failed and jammed a grenade in the barrel. I only had a couple of seconds to toss the gun before the grenade detonated."
- ―Hyannis, Gundark's Gear Datalog
A barrel was the exit tube of a pistol, rifle, or cannon for the weapon's projectile or blaster bolt.
The barrels of blasters were inlaid with galven circuitry which served to focus the weapon's energy bolt. The barrels were also fitted with static pulse adaptors.[2]
Certain rifles had long barrels, such as the Czerka Adventurer and the LD-1 target blaster rifle. Some long-barreled weapons were known as longblasters. Some weapons had two barrels, such as the double-barreled blaster carbine and the Duo blaster carbine.
