DESCRIPTION​

Commonly called the Enforcer Pistol, it was often said that the .48 was weaponry befitting a Death Star and not an actual hand weapon. Created for Morellian Enforcers, this slug thrower was a heavy damage/heavy recoil piece and could pierce most armor as well as lighter vehicles. Due to the rarity of blasters on Morellia, they would settle on the much more archaic slugthrower to get the job done and provide protection for their world.

With its power though came extreme recoil, with specialized training needed to avoid having the weapon fly out of a users hand with each shot. However, with practice firing the weapon was possible, and with specialized military training - such as that offered to Morellian Enforcers - rapid fire was also possible; though practice was needed to ensure that shots were precise, as rapid firing could lead to erratic placement of shots.

As standard issue for the defenders of the Morellian Commonwealth, these pistols came with iron sights but could possibly be modified with actual sights.

LEGALITY​

INTENT​

RESTRICTIONS​

So, while I'm familiar with this pistol from Legends, the rule here regarding handheld slugthrower weapons is that they can't do any more than Light damage. We had some real problems with overpowered slugthrower weapons in past timelines, so I'm afraid there's no flexibility on this rule.

I would also like to know why there are two different numbers for the maximum range? And also your description could stand to be longer.

Also, standard request that you find a bigger image, as the one you have is about the size of a postage stamp.

Alrighty, edits done. Let me know if there's anything else that needs to change. Though it sucks that some people messing around ruined the actual strength of slug throwers. Guess they aren't real reliable due to the nerf.

Our in-universe justification is that kinetic protection is basically a mature science at this point; even the cheapest body armor can block a bullet without difficulty.

Approved.
