Heavy Slugthrower Pistol

About the Heavy Slugthrower Pistol

In corners of the galaxy where power cells are scarce and blasters are luxuries, the heavy slugthrower pistol keeps doing what it has always done. It fires a solid metal round driven by a chemical charge, a technology so old and so simple that a competent gunsmith can maintain one with a workbench and scavenged parts. The heavy variant chambers a fat, punishing slug that hammers through light armor and drops a target with authority. It has no energy signature to trip sensors, no cell to run dry mid-fight, and ammunition that can be cast almost anywhere. Fringe worlders, primitive-planet holdouts, and traditionalists who distrust anything with a battery all swear by it. The report is loud and the recoil sharp, and it lacks a blaster's clean stun option. But for reliability at close range, few weapons ask so little and deliver so much.
