I'm currently banging out notes for the weekends game, or otherwise I'd go dig through the sourcebooks myself (curse you, FFG and your lack of everything in one spot tomes) - what's a really super awesome stun blaster that I can give to some security forces.
Edited by DesslokBest stun blasters?

The rifle in EtU, it's the only long range stun weapon in the game I think.

The Model-77 Air rifle? That's one of my favorite weapons in the game. Especially because it has pierce, a SmartTranq(tm) GM-approved feature, and is pretty much a joke to the rest of the galaxy. Those fools. Little do they know.
Edited by kaosoeThe Marksman-X Blaster Rifle (No Disintegrations) gets only reduced to medium range instead of short range when the stun setting is used.
The LBR-9 Blaster (I think that is the one 2P51 is referring to) has long range and more damage, so this should be the best stun blaster.
Is there anything like the old Deck Sweeper Blaster, yet?

The LBR, the BB gun is good too.
The cryoban rifle from disciples of harmony is the best ranged light stun weapon, with respectable damage, medium range and MASSIVE 5 pierce against anyone not wearing anti cold gear -so pretty much anyone. Also has Ensnare for infuriating your players even more.
Not sure if I should help here, as I'll be the victim of your blasters later tonight, but if you're looking for a ranged light weapon there's the Tenloss IDX-9 Ion Stunner from Disciples of Harmony. It's a pistol, has a range of medium, does stun damage to humans and ion damage to machines. Cheap at only 300 credits. I know a certain Arkanian Doctor character who carries one.

Hmmm, it'll probably be interior fights, so it might be hard to justify long range weaponry. But yeah, I like the gun so I might have to re-write some encounters here.

Geeze, this thing is a beast! I've changed my mind. This one is the winner.

Hey! No peeking!
Edited by DesslokHappy to help, Desslok! My retired clone trooper in a AoR pbp game is using it as his sidearm since he's kinda meant to be an explosives expert, but I've gotten more use out of the CryoBan Rifle than my grenade launcher by this point!
Actually the solid you did for me was when I was looking at the list I noticed the gun right below the Cryoban - which for reasons that prying eyes are lurking around, I shan't get into - but does the same thing with an extra sweet bonus that fits well with the players. So double thank you!

Whhhaaaaaat?
I had no idea when I first started reading the thread. It's just a slow day at work so I had some time to do some forum browsing.
It's either cliche or a classic, depending on who you ask, but Stokhli spray sticks are a pretty great stun weapon in this system. No base damage, but has Accurate 2, so has a decent chance to proc its absolutely bonkers Stun 8 quality. Which of course, also ignores soak.
Or how about the energy slingshot, particularly for those younger PCs to really tourque the bad guys.

So how would a protective amulet (alchemical crafting in disciples of harmony) interact with this?
Edited by EliasWindriderThe rules specifically call out 'removing setback die' as the condition on which armor blocks the Pierce, so RAW, the amulet does nothing since it doesn't specifically remove setback, iirc. Personally I'd make it work for ignoring the Pierce.
