DESCRIPTION
Slug throwers have long since been a brutal weapons. To this day bounty hunters among other nefarious individuals use physical projectiles as a method of dealing with the abnormal targets or situations. Still, to this day the use of blasters is the predominant method of self defense and dispatching targets. Naturally to combat this larger caliber and heavy hitting rounds are prioritized over number of shots.The Crack-shot revolver is a reliable weapon pattern design that also provides the needed stopping power a gunslinger might want bringing it a step up above other slug throwers. It is limited to only six rounds it is possible to have easy to load "speed loaders" that make its reload speed as fast as any blaster. Alternatively non-lethal stun bullets can be loaded into it though alternating between the two types of ammunition risks a 10% chance to jam or miss-fire so it is advised to solely load a singular type of ammunition at any one time.
Because of its fair amount of damage for a slug thrower it also has a fair amount of recoil. Users tend to cock the weapon preemptively if using one handed. If not cocking the weapon it is referenced as having the same amount of kick as a heavy blaster pistol. This can be dealt with by also using a single hand to steady or for the more extreme user "fanning" the hammer though results may vary. The varying designs and customization allow for lower rails to have a laser sight or flashlight while the top can have an adjustable 1x scope for gunslingers that fancy themselves expert marksman though most go without it instead preferring iron sights that allow faster draw speed and ease of aiming down sights considering its limited ideal range.
LEGALITY
Illegal practically everywhere. Slugthrower weapons are usually considered crude and cruel. Only bounty hunters use them and even then only military forces use them. Not legal for civilian unless with extensive permission.INTENT
To serve as a more dangerous medium caliber slug thrower but with fair drawbacks. It is a test bed idea to see if this sort of thing might interest people that want to combat force users but also not make it overly powerful that it makes it cheap to use.ADVANCED TECH
YES. These weapons and others like the, are highly expensive and often difficult to find, requiring special brokers or well connected arms dealers. 1-2 tech plot threads of appropriate risk are required to obtain one.
