Wrist Blaster

About the Wrist Blaster

The wrist blaster is the weapon you can't be disarmed of, a compact emitter mounted along the forearm and slaved to a trigger the wearer can fire with a flex or a tap. Bounty hunters and covert operatives prize it for exactly that: hands stay free, the weapon stays hidden under a sleeve or built into a gauntlet, and a captor who takes your holster leaves you still armed. Its output is modest and its range limited by the small cell it carries, but at close quarters that hardly matters when the bolt comes without warning. The stun setting makes it doubly useful for taking a mark alive or ending a scuffle without a body. Light and always ready, it's the ace up the sleeve of anyone who's learned that the most valuable weapon is the one an enemy doesn't know you have.
