It is carried in an ornate multi-strap cradle holster on a [[Draconian soldier]]'s uniform when not in use {{BR25\|Film\|Awakening}}, although a "Swiss cheese" variant holster exists.

			Draconian pistols are acquired for use by Kaleel's followers and guards for use in [[2491]] CE {{BR25\|Planet of the Slave Girls}}.

			== Notes ==

			* While it is entirely likely that the use of the Draconian pistol in "[[Planet of the Slave Girls]]" by Kaleel's followers (e.g. [[Stella Warden]] and [[Julio]]) is due to production convenience and cost savings, the existence of a black market where Draconians acquire their wares is directly established in the subsequent episode, "[[Vegas in Space]]" (e.g. [[Amos Armat]] and [[Morgan Velosi]]). Weapons merchants also exist in the {{BRTV}} universe, as noted by the presence of Cmdr. [[Corliss]] and [[Roxanne Trent]] in "[[Return of the Fighting 69th]]."

The '''Draconian pistol''' is neither a laser pistol nor blaster, but a directed-energy weapon capable of stunning or killing its target.

In its use, it is capable of stunning a subject, freezing them in a stance; {{buck}} uses [[Tigerman]]'s pistol thusly upon Tigerman himself, not realizing the effect it would have. In this instance the weapon, when fired, reverberates instead of unleashing a stereotypical "blaster bolt" or beam discharge {{BR25|Film|Awakening}}.

It is carried in an ornate multi-strap cradle holster on a [[Draconian soldier]]'s uniform when not in use {{BR25|Film|Awakening}}.
