PROJECT MS1 THE MERR SONN TECHNICAL ARCHIVE
THE DEFINITIVE RESOURCE FOR THE MERR SONN POWER 5 BLASTER
While the DL 44 became the signature of the outlaw, the Merr Sonn Power 5 was the answer for those who required sheer force and military grade reliability. Often overshadowed by its civilian counterpart, the Power 5 is a masterpiece of heavy ordnance engineering. Designers engineered it for maximum energy displacement, and it remains a favorite among heavy infantry and bounty hunters alike.
This archive documents the transition of the broomhandle frame into a dedicated short range powerhouse, detailing the specialized components that define the Merr Sonn legacy.
MILITARY SPECIFICATION AND ENERGY DISPLACEMENT
The Merr Sonn Power 5 was engineered to provide rifle grade stopping power in a compact frame. This required a different set of internal stabilizers and external cooling solutions compared to other heavy blasters:
- MODULAR COOLING FINS Unlike the integrated heat sinks of the DL 44, the Merr Sonn utilizes a series of stacked cooling discs along the barrel. These facilitate rapid cooling during sustained high intensity discharge.
- REINFORCED POWER COUPLERS To handle the increased energy flux, the Power 5 features specialized side mounted power cells. These couplers ensure that every bolt maintains maximum thermal energy from the chamber to the target.
- MUZZLE STABILIZATION ARRAYS The distinctive barrel shroud on the Merr Sonn Power 5 blaster is designed to minimize bolt spread, making it one of the most accurate heavy pistols in close quarters combat.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF AN IMPERIAL CLASSIC
The Merr Sonn Power 5 prop is a fascinating study in 1970s fabrication. It shares a common ancestor with the smuggler version but follows a more industrial, brutalist design path:
- THE FOUNDATION The classic C96 frame remains the core, providing the balance and weight necessary for a high output weapon.
- THE GREEBLIES The Power 5 is defined by its unique hardware, including the utilization of vintage camera components and specialized model kit parts that give it a “mass produced” military feel.
- THE FINISH While the DL 44 is often heavily scarred, the Merr Sonn is frequently seen in a “factory fresh” or “armory maintained” finish, reflecting its status as a standard issue heavy sidearm.
