Based on the Firespray DL-87 stun rifle, the Deck Sweeper was designed by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc to be a close-range crowd control weapon. It was popular with police and security forces, who appreciated the need for nonlethal responses. Like most weapons that concentrated on stunning efficiency, it was not a very powerful or effective blaster.
