Hyyg'Vaas Industries Model K36-D5/L 'Custom' Blaster Rifle. The Hyyg'Vaas K36 was primarily designed for military use to fill the roll of a blaster rifle capable of both heavy suppressive fire and precision shots out to 5-600 yards. It was used by many different defense forces throughout the systems. It's primary characteristics include a long cryo-bored barrel that, even through excessive heat, was able to maintain fantastic accuracy. Unfortunately, because of the inherent weight of the rifle from the long barrel and outdated cooling cells, it was at times cumbersome and ended up being faded out of standard issue use and was eventually strictly issued to heavy weapon teams.

 

Hyyg'Vaas made one major improvement when they released the K36-D5; a completely overhauled external venting system that was able to dump excessive heat in large blasts forward of the muzzle to extend fire rate and prolong the lifespan of the barrel. A few commandos and mercenaries would use this new dissipation system offensively, containing the heat and pressure inside of the cells for prolonged periods of combat and trigger the venting system in close quarters as a less lethal way to incapacitate and neutralize high value targets at the expense of the plasma cells and firing mechanism. Normally, this blaster is capable of 100 sustained high power plasma shots before the excessive heat needs to be vented. Venting the excessive heat past 300 sustained high power plasma shots will create a forward blast capable of knocking enemies in front of the rifle to the ground, and at times, the user as well.

The D5/L variant was made in smaller numbers for private military contractors who requested them for their left-handed commandos.
