I've always figured the Scout Trooper blaster was the Star Wars equivalent of all those .32 ACP / .38 ACP pistols that were the most common sidearms in World War One and still very common in World War Two. Basically, it's a weapon you give to someone who shouldn't be unarmed but if they actually have to shoot at someone they've done something wrong. Thus, in the real world they were for officers who shouldn't be anywhere near the fighting; for Scout Troopers, they're supposed to do their real shooting with the cannon on their bikes. So the goals of "easy to carry" and "doesn't get in the way" trump "easy to use" and "actually effective."
Now, have these made it to Canada anywhere, I wonder?
