Donderbus blaster pistol

The Donderbus blaster pistol was a model of blaster pistol favored by members of the Kanjiklub.^[1] However, members of the criminal organization often preferred rifles due to the rifles' superior firepower. As a result, this was not the primary weapon of choice for the members of Kanjiklub who confronted Han Solo^[2] in 34 ABY.^[3]
