The KK-5 blaster pistol represents a blaster pistol manufactured by Imperial Munitions, originating from a design created by BlasTech. As the Galactic Civil War progressed and BlasTech weaponry became more prevalent among Rebel forces, the company swiftly demonstrated its allegiance to the ruling power by presenting the Empire with a skillfully engineered weapon. However, the Imperial versions suffered from flawed prismatic crystals, significantly diminishing the KK-5's overall effectiveness. Despite BlasTech's continued production of their own variants, this particular blaster failed to achieve widespread adoption, leading to a halt in its manufacturing at the conflict's conclusion.
