Description: This is an extremely small weapon usually seen only in the hands of the Minbari warrior caste. It contains a self-charging power source and is utterly undetectable to normal weapon scanners, making it the perfect form of self-defence to smuggle into any restricted colony or space station. Though packing a heavy punch for its size, the advanced Minbari power source is not sufficient to allow for continual firing and each successive shot will require it to spend a greater amount of time recharging, a serious drawback in any sustained firefight. After firing, the holdout laser will require two rounds to recharge before it may be fired again. As an emergency weapon, however, there are few that can match it.
