Because Han Solo could n’t have shot first if he did n’t have an awe-inspiring gun at his side .

It has great accuracy and yet packs a heavy slug — and the ability to backpack a bolt twice as knock-down without damage the sidearm .

Our dear function with this hit man was n’t only a phase angle — it was for always .
