DESCRIPTION
This slug rifle was developed and manufactured before the old republic fell, gaining traction in outer rim worlds where the laws of the Galaxy were less intrusive and rarely thought of. Once popular among frontier explorers, homesteaders, and local defense forces, they also saw service in specialized units of core world militaries many centuries ago. Once upon a time they were manufactured and distributed en masse by a number of now defunct arms manufacturers, but few modern producers are left. Like most slugthrowers, they are illegal or heavily regulated in much of the core, seeing legal use only in sport and exhibition and it is often difficult to supply ammunition for them. Criminals and assassins still find uses for the crude weapons, and they are still commonly found among raiders and pirates on the fringes of the well traveled galaxy, where their distinctive thundering crack sound strikes fear into their prey.LEGALITY
Illegal practically everywhere. Slugthrower weapons are usually considered crude and cruel.INTENT
To expand the slugthrower catalog now that Deucalians are beginning to show up more and more. I would think that with them being in the outer rim, they picked up the use of slug throwers more than blasters.
