Pulse cannons were incredibly powerful, long-range blaster rifles which utilized the frame assemblies of DLT-20A blaster rifles. During the Galactic Civil War, pulse cannons were the weapon of choice for many sharpshooters.[2] The IG-series bounty hunter IG-88 used a pulse cannon.[3]
Behind the scenes
