The Ax-20 blaster cannon was a model of small blaster cannon manufactured by BlasTech Industries. The weapon was capable of firing repeated blasts without overheating and consisted of a long barrel with a widened neck around the muzzle.[1]
Aratech Repulsor Company's 74-Z speeder bike was equipped with an Ax-20 that was fixed on a rotating mount underneath the chassis of vehicle and protruded out under the control vanes at the front of the vehicle. Two power coupling lines attached the rear of the blaster to a series of six power cells that were themselves each attached to a power cell recharger. The cannon could be controlled by the speeder bike's pilot using firing controls in the right steering handle.[1]
