DESCRIPTION
Originally designed for the Imperial Army to help support Imperial troopers in deadly, close-quarters conditions, the power of the SX-21 has made it popular among mercenaries, planetary militias, and criminals. The SX-21 uses a two-barrel, over-under system to unleash devastating sprays of 'boltlets' in clusters 1 meter wide and 2 meters tall. This, combined with the weapon's short range of 15 meters, means that the SX-21 is perfect for indoor fighting, although the second barrel doesn't increase the overall force or damage level of the boltlets compared to a standard scatterblaster, only the vertical spray range.While the SX-21 is a remarkably durable weapon, being used as a standard weapon in the muddy battlefields of Mimban, it also has a major drawback in the form of its reloading and cooling system. In order to compensate for the power draw of the second barrel, Merr-Sonn designed the weapon so that it had to be manually pumped between shots to recycle its energy and vent excess heat. Having a pump-action fire selector means the SX-21 has a much slower rate of fire than standard blaster rifles, and the distinctive hiss of the weapon means everyone around you will know when the weapon is being cycled. The SX-21 also has no stun function, and consumes twice as much ammunition with each shot since both barrels need to be charged to fire.
LEGALITY
Restricted. SX-21s are more potent than average scatterblasters, so they are more thoroughly restricted under the law of most civilized worlds, and will draw more law enforcement attention.INTENT
To bring a canon weapon from Solo onto the site.RESTRICTIONS
The SX-21 cannot be fitted with any modifications on the barrels or that increase or decrease the fire rate, since the weapon is a pump action.
