Model: SA-17 "Mercy".
Type: Blaster Stun Gun.
Size: Large pistol.
Composition: Dallorian alloy, durasteel, transparisteel, tricopper.
Range: Optimum; 35 Meters. Maximum; 50 Meters.
Ammunition Capacity: 20 blasts.
Description: The SA-17 Stun Gun, more commonly known as the "Mercy" to the public, is a Sentinel Arms product specifically designed for sale on the open market. Featuring the trademark sleek elegance of Edemmian design, as well as a transparent but quite sturdy barrel, the Mercy isn't just an elegant and effective personal defence weapon, but it's also a showpiece, guaranteed to draw attention.
Like most Sentinel Arms weapons, the majority of it's metallic casing is coated in dallorian alloy, both for it's durability and it's high tolerance to heat, but also because it simply just looks fantastic. The trademark of the Mercy, the transparent barrel is created from several layers of transparisteel, meaning that while it is transparent, it is every bit as durable as the rest of the weapon, and it would require major trauma to actually crack or damage the barrel.
The unique barrel also highlights what makes the Mercy so effective. The blaster gas, located above the trigger and loaded from the rear of the gun, is pushed through not one, nor two, but three excitement chambers and fed through tricopper focusing rods. This ensures that the non-lethal blasts produces enough power to take down nearly any humanoid species. Based on the designs of the Sunspear, but tooled down to focus on stun blasts instead of lethal power, the Mercy has a vastly larger ammunition capacity, and is capable of producing a total of twenty stun bolts before requiring a new power cell (which is conveniently located in the grip, adding more heft to the butt of the gun and providing a more comfortable grip when firing).
The Mercy also comes equipped with an advanced targeting system, as can be seen mounted atop the weapon, as standard. This targeter projects a near invisible holographic beam, which only responds to targets in which it can sense an electronic field, such as those produced by any living sentient or a droid. When it detects a target, and said target is within firing range, a light at the rear of the targeter changes from blue to red, indicating a clear shot. By training the beam on a specific target for a total of two seconds will make the targeter 'lock' onto that specific target's unique electric signature, making it easier to track in a crowd, preventing it from giving a positive readout on any droid or living creature that passes through the beam.
