Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
-Han Solo: Star Wars A New Hope
The DL-44 was a type of heavy blaster pistol produced by BlasTech Industries that was used during the years of the Galactic Republic and the Age of the Empire. It was considered one of the most powerful blaster pistols in the galaxy, delivering massive damage at close range. However, it overheated quickly. There existed a carbine variation of this blaster including an extended barrel with the existing flash-suppressor and an attachable stock. This was used by Tobias Beckett in the trenches of Mimban before he deconstructed his DL-44 and gave it to Han Solo.
This is my first big project using my new Ender 3 Max FDM printer. The files where made by PortedtoReality and can be found free on Thingiverse
