The technological predecessor to the blaster pistol, the pulse-wave pistol is an energy weapon that was largely abandoned when blaster technology became common. Pulse-wave blasters are particularly devastating at point blank range (granting a +4 equipment bonus to the weapon’s damage) even though the energy bolt is ineffective at long ranges.
A pulse-wave blaster pistol requires a power pack to operate. After 100 shots, the power pack must be replaced.
