The DT-29 heavy blaster pistol was a heavy blaster pistol that saw use during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[3]
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The DT-29 was a deadly heavy blaster, delivering a brutal force per shot that all but guaranteed a kill in close quarters, while remaining exceedingly dangerous at range.[3] Extremely customizable, DT-29's could be custom-fitted to an owner's specifications.[2]
During the Galactic Civil War, some DT-29's found their way onto battlefields as service pistols; these blasters were fitted with energy packs that greatly enhanced stopping power and rate of fire, but required the pack to be ejected and manually reloaded after just six shots.[4]
Director Orson Krennic notably used a non-regulation DT-29 custom-fitted with a macroscope, though rarely used the weapon.[3]
