DESCRIPTION
Oriolanis Defense Systems (ODS) made their name when they produced the Striker Projectile Pistol. It was one of the most commonly found slugthrower pistols in the galaxy. Nearly a century later, ODS came up with the "Mauler", which fired a heavier round with more stopping power. The weapon can be rapid fired, but accuracy is lost when firing the Mauler in this way. It does not possess the ammunition capacity of blaster pistols, so often these weapons are not seen as practical. The range is fully half of what similar slugthrowers are able to boast. While many accessories can be attached to slugthrowers, they still do not measure up in accuracy and stopping power of a traditional blaster pistol.

LEGALITY
Illegal practically everywhere. Slugthrower weapons are usually considered crude and cruel.

INTENT
To provide an example of a heavy slugthrower pistol for characters that fancy them.

So, a few problems with this one.

First, and most glaring to me, this thing does Medium damage. The only other currently existing slugthrowers on the site are both rifles, and they are limited to Light damage. I'm not sure how a pistol would manage to out-do them, at any range.

Second, the image you've chosen and the magazine system you describe are at odds. This thing looks like a revolver, and revolvers can't do the "magazine +1" thing that modern semi-auto pistols can do. The spaces in the revolver cylinder are the firing chambers.

Oof. I changed picture and then forgot to update that part of the description (7+1). Sorry about that. With the information you presented, here are the changes I made:

- Changed the image to accurately represent the weapon
- Changed the damage from Medium to Light
- Changed from Revolver to Semi-Automatic
- Changed Ammunition capacity from 8 to 16
- Changed the Range from 25m to 30m
