BlasTech DL-35 Variable Output Blaster

Seeing the chance to combine two of the most popular hand-held weapons ever created, the blaster pistol and the heavy blaster pistol, BlasTech set out to design a combination weapon that could be switched between the two. The DL-35 is generally only used by those people who prefer the heavy firepower but also understand the need for the extended range that heavy blaster pistols don't offer.

To switch between settings, the user must pull down or push up a lever (depending on what it was set to) that is on the butt of the pistol and can be reached with the user's thumb (if they have one). The DL-35 functions because it contains the components of a standard blaster pistol AND the components of a heavy blaster pistol. This makes it quite large, heavy and
prone to malfunctions. There has been more than one instance where the weapon has exploded, killing or maiming its user.
