MANUFACTURER
Various

SIZE
20 CM

WEIGHT
1 kg

COMPOSITION
Stamped Durasteel
WEAPON TYPE
Medium slugthrower Pistol

DAMAGE TYPE
Medium

AMMUNITION CAPACITY
8

FIRE SELECTOR

MAX RANGE
20 meters


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.

While I like the idea of slugthrowers, do you think that this would be used much in PvP? Because, isn't a standard faction side arm pistol same if not superior to this? Maybe you can consider making it a heavy slugthrower if you were going to apply an AT tag to it? I just dont see anyone wanting to do a tech plot for a weapon that is the equivalent of generic tech. idk, just my two cents.

Normal slug throwers are already light damage as default so I though making medium damage makes more sense unless I wanted to add a drawback like the bowcaster has and force it to have decreased rate of fire. As a medium damaging weapon it can still be dual wielded practically at higher levels if people want and be a counter for lightsaber wielders and give more reward than just using a lower damage slug thrower.

It's not meant to be a "better weapon" than blasters. Slug throwers are still inferior and have to stretch to be on par with blasters. I compared this to the renegade for the purposes of boosting from light to medium whereas standard blasters are medium and boost to heavy.

It’s not all about min-maxing. This offers an unique loadout potential, that alone should be enough to justify this submission.

The crucial point is: Does the staff consider it canon that slugthrowers aren't completely blocked/deflected by lightsabers? I brought it up last night because it is an interesting interaction, but there was some implication that it isn't how things work here anymore.

Slug throwers can be blocked by lightsabers. They cannot be reflected like blaster bolts. The projectiles simply get destroyed once they make contact with the lightsaber.

lol, Im not anyone special so Dara doesnt need to "justify" his submission. I was just curious as to the intent behind the weapon. While it does offer a new loadout, I was just asking because it seems that this pistol is still inferior or rather equal with lets say a Strill or Pugio blaster. Both of which are generic starting weapons.

That's why I was asking, as to would this really need an "advanced" tag and the effort to pursue it.

Dropped the weight to 1 kg and made it still shorter than a Strill. I think I'll bump up the ammo to 8 though.

Guess I can't convince you to add "Fan Fire" to the perk could I? Aka, Last Word

I mention fan fire in the body actually. It's possible (still 2 shots per second).
