The E-851 blaster pistol was a type of blaster pistol manufactured by Kelvarek Consolidated Arms.[1]
Description
The E-851 blaster pistol had a bronzium barrel with recoil stabilizing porting notch, a "crystal pan" charge indicator diode, and a retain pin for grip. The weapon also had a power charge port in the grip, a segmented body shell that opened for servicing, and sculpted trigger guards. The E-851 was a quick-draw blaster pistol that fired a steady shot, making it useful for underworld criminals such as the Spice Runners of Kijimi. They were made to have minimum recoil, ideal for quick, brutal confrontations.[2] Despite the appearance of the blaster's weighted grips resemble those of old-time space pirates, their firepower was state-of-the-art.[4]
History
Zorii Bliss notably used two on Kijimi.[3]
