U9-C4 destroys a B1 battle droid with his laser cutter
Laser cutters were laser tools that could be used to slice though almost any material, though they could also be used as weapons. When in use, they generated a high amount of recoil, which could cause its user to be knocked backwards if not anchored in place. During the Clone Wars, the astromech droid U9-C4 was outfitted with a concealed laser cutter for a mission to secure a Separatist encryption module.[1]
