DH-17 Blaster Pistol: The Fleet’s Choice in Star Wars Firepower
If you’ve ever imagined yourself fighting on the frontlines of the Rebel Alliance, the DH-17 blaster pistol is your weapon of choice. Designed for versatility and rapid response, this classic Star Wars blaster was carried by soldiers aboard blockade runners, starships, and Rebel bases across the galaxy. And now, it’s available for collectors and cosplayers alike through Destiny Guns.
The DH-17 Legacy
Known simply as the Fleet Blaster, the DH-17 was developed by BlasTech Industries and saw action during the Galactic Civil War. You’ll recognize it from the hands of Rebel troopers in the opening scenes of Star Wars: A New Hope—an iconic silhouette that fans immediately associate with courage and rebellion. What made the DH-17 different from its heavier cousin, the DL-44, was its lightweight design and focus on close-quarters combat aboard starships and installations.
