Manufacturer: Mandal Arms

Production Line: Mandal Arms Self-Defense Weapon P-Series

Model: P5

Technical Weapon Designation: Mandal Arms Pistol 5K

Affiliation: Mandalorians

Availability: Recently went into mass-production as part of the Mandal Arms Mark 5 Weapons System that encompasses the P5 and the R5 blaster rifle.

Modularity: The weapon can be equipped with an extended barrel and larger power cell as well as a forward grip, turning it into a personal defense weapon. It can also be equipped with a noise reducer on the muzzle for stealth missions.

Composition: Durasteel and plasteel.

Ownership: The P5 is designed to complement the R5 blaster as a side-arm for Mandalorian soldiers in the field, and with modifications to serve as a PDW for pilots and non-combat personnel who do not require a full-length blaster rifle for self-defense. It is part of the Mandal Arms Mark 5 Weapons System that is intended to be put forth as an alternative and uniform weapons system for Mandalorian soldiers. It is also intended, unlike it's big brother, the R5, to be sold in the civilian market, to bodyguards, bounty hunters, law enforcement and other security specialists.

Description: When Mandal Arms designed the Mandal R5 blaster rifle, they also designed a little brother in the form of the Mandal P5. Together the two form the Mandal Arms Mark 5 Weapon System. The P5 is a lightweight specialized service pistol designed as a backup weapon to complement the R5, and intended to serve as a standardized sidearm for the Mandalorian military. The weapon was designed with two specific goals in mind, aside from the obvious of being a powerful handgun with enough stopping power to be useful in the mission spectrum a Mandalorian soldier may face.

These two goals were its capability as a stealth weapon, and it's ability to be used as a PDW. The first was accomplished by designing a noise reducer to be attachable to the barrel of the blaster pistol, greatly reducing any noise generated by the weapon. The second goal was accomplished by allowing the weapon through the replacement of a single internal part, addition of an extended barrel and if necessary a forward handgrip, to be turned into a fully automatic personal defense weapon. A laser-aiming module was also attachable under the barrel, and came as standard equipment on many of the P5's produced for the Mandalorian military.

The result was a highly effective short-to-medium range backup weapon. It has become popular for its comfortable design, its versatility and its reliability among Mandalorian soldiers, and has been field trialled by Mandalorian covert operations units who have given positive responses especially in regard to the stealth and sneaking applications of the weapon.
