Reminicent of the hand weapons carried by guardsmen during the time of the Old Republic, Blastech was clearly aiming at a younger market when they first brought out this design. Weapons of this make were common on Tatooine (several of Jabba the Hutt's skiff guards used DL-18 pistols), especially in the infamously violent city of Mos Eisley hence, the model was sometimes nicknamed the "Mos Eisley Special". The classic design of the DL-18 Blastech has endeared it to some of the more romantic souls amongst the galaxy.
Its chief competitors were Merr-Sonn's Model 44 and DD6. A very basic design which thrived throughout the galaxy for decades, the DL-18 balanced multiple virtues and could be easily customized to the wielder's preferences. It was manufactured in the same series as the more powerful DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. The pistol generated only average power, and had some difficulty penetrating stormtrooper armor. The BlasTech DL-18 blaster pistol was a cheap blaster commonly used during the time of the Galactic Civil War.Īs a result of the inexpensive price, members of the Rebel Alliance often carried DL-18s and Sith Shadows favored them when carrying out raids as it was essentially a disposable weapon.
