The HH-50 heavy blaster pistol was a large-framed heavy blaster pistol made by BlasTech Industries. Nearly the size of a blaster carbine, the HH-50 was the largest, heaviest, and most high-output blaster pistol produced by BlasTech as of the Galactic Civil War, boasting a double-barreled design that shared various parts and systems with the Clone Wars-era DC-15 blaster carbine.[1]
Using patented dual-circuit galven pattern technology, an overcharged XCiter, and a powerful mix of blaster gases, the HH-50 packed a blaster rifle's worth of stopping power, able to pierce thick hides. The pistol fired both barrels with one pull of its trigger, reaching out to a short range. Easy to use and relatively small, the weapon was also incredibly inefficient, even for a heavy blaster pistol, and its gas chamber tended to run dry at the worst opportunities. Popular with beast riders, cavalry scouts, and vehicle crews, the pistol sold for 1,300 credits.[1]
