The Merr-Sonn Deck Sweeper blaster is designed to stun large numbers of people at once, typically in the confined space of a starship interior (hence the name). Unlike normal blaster weapons, a deck sweeper only fires on the stun setting and has no nonlethal setting. Additionally, a deck sweeper differs from other rifles in that it targets all creatures or droids within a 6-square cone as an area attack. The wielder makes a single attack roll and compares the result to the Reflex Defense of all targets within the area. A hit deals normal stun damage, while a miss deals half stun damage, following the normal stun damage rules. You must spend a swift action on the same turn to prime the deck sweeper before you make your attack. Otherwise, the wepon will not fire.
A deck sweeper requires a power pack to operate. After 5 shots, the power pack must be replaced.
