- For the laser pistols used in the Original Series, see: Laser pistol.
The laser pistol is the standard sidearm of Colonial Warriors. Laser pistols are energy based weapons.
Smaller versions of the laser pistol are used by Warriors Troy and Dillon during their missions on Earth.
These smaller pistols have various settings, including a stunning setting, a destructive setting, and a setting that places the stricken target in paralysis, thus freezing them in the position they were in prior to being hit (The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I).
These pistols do not register on 1980 A.D. medal detectors, as they are made of carbon-synthetic material (The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I).
