DT-57 heavy blaster pistol

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The DT-57 was a high-powered heavy blaster pistol manufactured during the era of the Clone Wars.

BlasTech Industries' custom DT-57, nicknamed the "Annihilator", was a weapon similar in appearance to the E-5 blaster rifle used by the B1 battle droids of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This pistol was of the "superheavy" designation used for models such as the Caliban Model X and T-6 Thunderer. Highly customizable, the DT-57 featured a high output blaster magazine, a large trigger guard and a top-mounted scope. The DT-57 packed a heavy punch without loss of range.

[edit] History

During the Clone Wars, General Grievous wielded a custom DT-57 "Annihilator", named "Grievance Striker", in conjunction with the many lightsabers stolen for his personal collection. The weapon was turned on its owner when Obi-Wan Kenobi used it to kill Grievous on Utapau. The blaster was later recovered by the Galactic Empire and given to N-K Necrosis. When Necrosis was destroyed by a group of spacers on Kashyyyk, the blaster fell into their possession.
