The DL-22 Blaster Pistol from BlasTech Industries came about as a direct competitor to the DD6 weapon manufactured by MerrSonn. Notably, Luke Skywalker carried this particular sidearm. Furthermore, Reen Irana was also known to wield this blaster.
To boost the destructive power of its energy bolts, the weapon's barrel incorporated a superior focusing crystal, however this enhancement came at the cost of removing the weapon's stun capability. Those who valued weapon modification held the DL-22 in great esteem. Its design featured a curved grip and lacked a scope.
