Blasters

Blasters are a standard weapon that includes both hand-held weapons and larger cannons. They have been used by various governments and races and private interests including the Galactic Republic, the Mandalorians, the Skrulls, the Shi'ar, the Kree, the Intergalactic Empire, and other people and organizations.

A blaster works by containing a ball of plasma in a magnetic field, which is then released as a projectile of pure energy.
