The [b]Phlanger-Katsumata "Doppelgänger" (PKD) series blaster[/b] is a futuristic looking and very powerful and devastating [[handgun]] from the 1982 [[cyberpunk]] movie [[Blade Runner]].

Because of its stopping power it is the weapon of choice of most Blade Runners when "[[murder|retiring]]" [[Replicant]]s. 

The name of the weapon shares the same initials from the [[real life]] [[science fiction]] author [[Philip K. Dick]] as a tribute, since he wrote [[do_androids_dream_of_electric_sheep?|the short story on which the movie was based]]. The prop for the film was developed using parts from a [[revolver]] and the firing mechanism of an old Austrian battle [[rifle]].
