A cheap, easy-to-use weapon based on popular blaster technology, the TB-1a was designed for the sole purpose of eliminating droids. It may not be as accurate or as powerful as a Jawa-built firearm, but it compensates with its increased range. One decent shot can shut down most droids, allowing the shooter to subject the droid to sensor torture or slice into its processor. It is recommended that anyone carrying a TB-1a also be sure to carry a standard blaster, since its only use against organic entities is as a club.
