minus-squareteft@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down1·1 month agoNot all blasters fire particle beams. Some fire plasma bolts that could conceivably give recoil. Also she is using the stun setting here. Maybe that gives extra kick.

minus-squareMindTraveller@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 month agoThat’s not a laser pistol. Star Wars blasters are plasma weapons. Brush up on your lore if you’re gonna nitpick.
