XS-1750 sporting blaster rifle

The XS-1750 sporting blaster rifle was the second successful sporting blaster rifle manufactured by Parable Weapons. It was released shortly after the Battle of Yavin with its sporting blaster pistol contemporary, the XS-1700. The XS-1750 was designed with both functionality and elegance as the key factors, using the base provided by the 1750's predecessor, the XS-1550 as a jumping-off point.

Unlike its contemporary, the XS-1750 was designed as an exclusive weapon that distinguished the rich from others. Each weapon was special-ordered and custom-decorated according to the buyer's design, providing a best match with whatever the owner wanted to use it for. Due to its expensive design cost, the 1750 did not do as well in its early campaign, but when the XS-1550 left the production line, the sales of the 1750 skyrocketed.

The 1750 was a better all-around weapon than the 1550, both in functionality and appearance. It carried fewer shots per power pack, but provided a substantial damage increase, and the customization of every weapon allowed it to fit perfectly with the decoration it was used in. Unlike its predecessor, the 1750 was heavy enough to be used both as a ceremonial weapon or a full battle weapon, stretching the class of sporting blaster rifle to the ultimate limits.

After the first three years of its release, sales of the 1750 dropped. Parable had planned for this, knowing that such an expensive weapon could not hold novelty forever, and had cleverly engineered the purchasing program so that the basic weapons were not even assembled until an order came in. This completely avoided the problem of having surplus weapons that were not sold after demand halted and production ceased, as had been the bane of so many manufacturing companies before Parable. The XS-1750 never officially left production.
