Blaster cannon

Legends Canon version → Linked from 776 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A blaster cannon, also known as a flash cannon and assault cannons, was a limited-range heavy artillery variant of the handheld blaster. Blaster cannons were commonly fitted aboard atmospheric vehicles; however, a portable shoulder-fired version was also used to inflict devastation on vehicles, troops, and structures.
