Ancient Weapons and Hokey Religions

.... are no match for a blaster at your side.  :=)

:(Sorry about the lack of attributions, I couldn't figure them all out.)
: I always thought of the hand weapons in Star Wars as 'blasters', by which
:I mean a weapon that actually launches some sort of physical projectile.  Kinda
:like a plasma pistol.  Any guesses as to what tech level would be needed to
:make such a thing in MT.  I.E. is there any good correlation between the tech
:level at which a rifle (large version of a weapon) comes out and when the
:equivalent pistol comes out?

I always considered them aplasma pistol as well.
 Sort of PGMP, hand - 18  (Maybe this is a PBEM hint...)

I've never seen a good correlation for the rifle-carbine-pistol development
and TL, but then there wouldn't necessarily be one.  Handguns and rifles
have historically (on Terra) evolved separately.

So, is your blaster a revolver or a semi-auto?  (full auto PGMP? WOW!)
