The ion paddle beamer was a paddle-shaped weapon carried by Ssi-ruuk which was used to stun targets. This weapon was originally used for medical purposes, but the Ssi-ruuk later found its usefulness as a weapon. Beings hit by such weapons were disabled and could not move for some time. Despite this though, blasts aiming at the head and at close range can kill the target. The long beam fired by the weapon could not be deflected by a lightsaber, as the beam would simply bend around the beam to strike the user. Although, with preparation, a lightsaber could be calibrated to bend the bolts away, though not reflect them.
