Any Blaster Weapon can be fitted with a Pulse Charger. A Pulse Charger forces more power into the blast chamber, producing more powerful shots at the expense of lost accuracy. This Upgrade causes a -1 penalty on all attack rolls with the weapon, but the weapon deals +1 point of damage per die.
Thus, a Sporting Blaster Pistol with a Pulse Charger imposes a -1 penalty on attack rolls and deals 3d4+3 points of Energy damage on a hit. A blaster with a Pulse Charger has only one-half the normal number of shots from a Power Pack.
