- Power In The Hand: Based completely around the ability to use .48 caliber slugs, the weapon itself is large and in charge. Using a thicker full frame set up, as well as using a double action, or single action hammer to allow slow or faster firing of the weapon. The Sixshooter is a gunslinger's hay day. Housing a very impressive destructive power, as well as being small enough to be holstered on a belt or on the thigh.
- Fan That Hammer!: A revolver with an elongated hammer, using Double and Single action firing, means that the user can either pull the trigger conventionally, having to operate the "double action" of cocking the hammer and releasing it, or one can pull the hammer back manually with a thumb, or a second hand, to then have a much lower trigger weight to pull on. As such, a trained hand can use a technique of "fanning the hammer." Using one hand to rapidly pull back on the hammer into "single action" while also pulling the trigger as fast as possible.
- Small Hands & Small Hearts: Designed around using the .48 caliber slug, the weapon is not one to be used by a person who is weak in the limbs, or heart. Holding the weapon incorrectly can land you with a broken nose from the recoil, damaged fingers, and even fractures in the wrist. More over, the weapon can be fired rapidly using the "Fan the Hammer" that many revolvers are notorious for. Holding the weapon wrong, or incorrectly fanning the hammer can injure the user, just as much as the person on the barrel end.
- Abysmal Reload: Even with the advantage of being able to fire rapidly under the trained hand, The reload for the weapon is much slower due to having to rotate the cylinder, load one round into the cylinder, and rotating it again five more times for the weapon to be completely loaded. To save on costs for repairs, the weapon was made with a full frame set up to reduce damage to the weapon itself, and to make sure it wouldn't break apart due to faster firing styles. As such, the reload suffers greatly.
Tales and Legends of Gunslingers being able to draw their favorite hogleg, or pistol, then firing from the hip at some staredown have been spoken of since the dawn of time, and the coined term of a Gunslinger. Many weapons have been made specifically for these fabled rangers and west-bound scoundrels. This weapon is clearly made in the same vain.
Built on a full frame to be reliable and withstand the test of time, the sixshooter uses one of the most powerful slug calibers in the galaxy. The .48 used famously by the police forces on Morellia. Their Enforcer pistols were well known to be able to pierce armors, and even speeders given the right conditions. As such, Yusanic Ironworks, as well as the Owner Shaun, wishes to create a series of pistols that are in homage to the Gunslingers of Time, as well as the Enforcers of the Faction known as, The Family.
A Hand cannon by any other name, it is used for the sole purpose of being able to use against armored enemies, or even as a pistol for hunting larger beasts. While big game such as a Tuk'uta, or even Rancor can be shot with this, it's recommended to use a larger rifle instead of just this weapon.
How could this little workshop get it's hands on such a caliber? Many of these Enforcer pistols were known to be sold on the black market. And with Shaun's technological know-how of many weapons, functions, and capabilities, He wanted to create a weapon that can be sold to others for a higher price, not just as a keepsake, but as an operable weapon that could be used no matter the difference in time.
