DESCRIPTION
An atlatl was a one-handed weapon used by Gungan warriors, which consisted of a short stack of non-conductive hardwood, with a cradle on one end. It acted as an extension of the gungans arm, enabling them to throw boomas at a greater speed, force and accuracy than was possible without it. With a range of around thirty meters, it could be additionally used without the booma, functioning as a blunt weapon.The weapon is not lightsaber resistant, because it is made out of wood.
LEGALITY
Illegal outside of the Gungan Grand Army. This is considered a traditional weapon, and its use is frowned upon outside of the Naboo.INTENT
