[Source] A product of Merr-Sonn Munitions, the DD6 blaster pistol was designed and produced as a direct competitor to the DL-18 blaster pistol manufactured by BlasTech Industries. The DD6 was stronger and more powerful than its counterpart, and its production set off the so-called "blaster wars" between Merr-Sonn and BlasTech. Considered by most to have been a "standard" blaster pistol with no distinguishing features, it was a popular weapon for personal protection as well as for use as a military sidearm.
