This small, silvery-blue pistol features a wooden grip, with a large built-in magazine made of the same metal and tall iron sight. Commonly known as a peashooter, this pistol fires energy rounds that explode into a faint star-like shape, hence the name the “Star Blaster”. Originally made by a shut-in gunsmith, living on the fringes of society, this incomplete design touched the hearts of androids everywhere, being a beloved choice for many.

While it’s mode changes to Spur of the Moment, which is the complete version of the firearm, the gun’s appearance takes more of a bulkier size, becoming a light purple, increasing the length and size of the barrel, doubling the size of the magazine to make way for a charging mechanism, and has multiple golden accents.
