Harrison Ford's Deckard takes his sweet time to show up in Blade Runner 2049, but when he finally arrives, he comes packing a familiar weapon.

The standard-issue LAPD blaster he wields so cooly in the original is still the Blade Runner's weapon of choice when K finds him holed up in that casino.

Although there's no official name for the type of firearm Deckard packs, it has gone on to become an iconic sci-fi weapon and is the first part of the character to emerge from the shadows when he's introduced in Blade Runner 2049.

Ford may have changed a lot since the original Blade Runner was released in 1982, but some things remain constant, like Deckard's fondness for a tipple of whiskey.
