  • In the intro, there is a sentence about the time that it was used:...was a weapon in use in the latter years.. please make this clearer. Maybe:...was a weapon in use during the latter years... --Talrrivanian JaingHead (Headquarters) 11:25, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
    • Fixed.
  • Also I suggest having a picture, otherwise good--Talrrivanian JaingHead (Headquarters) 11:25, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure what you mean; there's a picture in the infobox and it isn't really long enough (in my opinion) to comfortably accommodate another in the body. NAYAYEN 12:15, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
  • Sorry must have been a glitch, the pic shows up now.--Talrrivanian JaingHead (Headquarters) 12:57, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
    • No worries, thanks for the review Tal. NAYAYEN 13:19, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Just one thing, on one of my KOTOR nominations I was told to regard the range in the game as simply game mechanics, and I only mentioned it in the behind the scenes. Following this same reasoning, you probably shouldn't include it in the infobox or the description section. It might be a good idea to ask others about this though.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 13:26, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

  • After reading through the arguments I think it's a fair assumption to make, so I've removed the range from everywhere bar the Bts. Thanks for pointing me to that. NAYAYEN 14:08, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

  • Why no mention of the Mandos in the affiliation section of the infobox?
    • Because while they did create it and are noted as such there is (surprisingly) no Mandalorian that actually uses it in the games. If you think that the fact it is called a Mandalorian heavy blaster counts as affiliation then I'll gladly add it.
  • Use of the word "improvement" becomes a bit repetitive.
    • Replaced some with alternatives.
  • Please avoid POV wording like "most notably"
    • Removed.
  • You have a bit of intro-exclusive information.
    • I think I've got it all.
  • That's all. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 15:40, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
    • Thanks for reviewing Jon. NAYAYEN 16:15, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

  • Blaster, sans pistol, is linked twice in the article body. SinisterSamurai 16:31, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
    • A reviewer got over-zealous in copyediting :P
  • I seem to recall that different blasters in KOTOR & II have different projectile visual effects. Since you mention the colors of the blaster itself, any chance of mentioning whether an unmodified MHBP has a red or green blaster bolt? Or am I wrong and only the weird ones like the sonic blaster have unique effects? SinisterSamurai 16:31, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
    • Good catch, I've added the shot color in. That said, all blasters in the game have the same colour (red), with ion, sonic, disruptor and bowcasters being the other types with variations. —NAYAYEN 17:14, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
