Model 53 "Quicktrigger" blaster pistol

The Model 53 "Quicktrigger" blaster pistol was a type of blaster pistol manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc., and was popular across the galactic frontier backwaters due to its superior customizability and reliability. At some point, Merr-Sonn lost a shipment of Model 53s in an explosion over the planet Coruscant. However, within a month after the explosion, the Coruscant Security Force released a report on an increase in crime due to the prevalence of salvaged Model 53s. And as a result, Merr-Sonn could not have paid for better publicity regarding the durability of the Quicktrigger.
