DESCRIPTION​

The Marev is a design adopted by numerous mandalorian weapon manufacturers in the effort to arm their warriors with solid projectile weapons. These are often frowned upon and are sometimes just not as convenient as a blaster but none the less there is a place for slug throwers that energy based weapons cannot fill. Thus the brawler pistol has made a re-emergence in popularity not only with mandalorians but other bounty hunters and underworld figures that get their hands on them.

The Marev has a fairly high capacity magazine mounted along the side of the weapon side of the pistol making it less ideal for a quick draw weapon. The weapon has low recoil but even-so manufacturers allow for a simple folding stock to be incorporated into the weapons design. This is no substitute for a long range weapon or even the same as a full pistol conversion kit. It will provide an even greater degree of accuracy and stability though for those that wish to use it. However more often than not, these Marev pistols can be seen in tandem as mandalorians dual wield them to overwhelm a lightsaber wielder or combining the solid projectiles with a blaster to keep them on the backfoot.

The Marev is very reliable and can take some amount of punishment as one might expect of its name. It should not be treated as a dedicated melee weapon but it can be used to bludgeon softer targets in close quarters if needed. The weapon can be customized to have various sights and appropriate modifications. However they are rarely seen outside of the hands of mercenaries and the most brutal killers in the galaxy. The use of these slug throwers often requires a source for ammo and on many planets where solid projectile weapons are highly regulated it can be a costly and/or risky asset to possess.

LEGALITY​

Legal. Ownership of slugthrowers is not restricted in most of the Galaxy, however openly carrying such a weapon in public might be on more "civilized" worlds. On less civilized worlds, it still might draw unwanted scrutiny.

INTENT​

To make a solid projectile weapon that could build on the mandalorian arsenal and give a reason for others to trade with mandalorians. These also could be a good standard weapon for mandos wanting to fight force sensitives to use.
