Shock blaster
Canon Legends version → Linked from 9 articles
A shock blaster was a close-range, shotgun-like weapon. These blasters dealt massive damage at close range, but lost their effectiveness at higher distances. Because of this, they were usually employed in close-quarter combat. The CA-87 blaster, a retrofitted Jawa ion blaster, was a model of shock blaster used during the Galactic Civil War by soldiers of both the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire.
