Defender MicroBlaster

About the Defender MicroBlaster

Small enough to vanish in a palm or ride hidden in a boot, the Defender MicroBlaster is a hold-out weapon for people who prefer their defenses unseen until needed. It sacrifices range, power, and ammunition capacity for pure concealability, offering a nobleman, a spy, or a nervous merchant a last resort that no casual search will find. The bolt it throws is modest, meant to buy a moment's escape rather than win a firefight, but at conversational distance a modest bolt is more than enough. Its light frame makes it quick to draw and easy to aim, and its unthreatening size means an enemy rarely sees it coming. Fashionable models come dressed as jewelry, styluses, or comlinks. No one carries a MicroBlaster expecting to win a battle; they carry it so that, when someone else thinks they've won, there is one more surprise to give.
