Description: Advances in weapons technology would normally dictate that the creation of blaster weaponry would be preferable to one that fires a projectile. However, the increase in Force User traffic, and advances in anti-blaster armor, have indicated that there still exists a market for projectile weapons. Additionally, this market has especially flourished in the self-defense sector. By creating a small, one handed version of a typical slugthrower, Ignus has broken into the self-defense market with a weapon capable of thoroughly ruining any attackers day. The three shot system is both due to compact size and by design. Initially, concern was given to the idea that a powerful scatter gun could cause mass casualty in the wrong hands, leading to it being outlawed on most worlds. With it only holding three shots, the potential for mass damage is greatly reduced, indicating less chance of restrictions being placed on the weapon by governing bodies. The size of the weapon was predicated on ease of transport and concealment, both of which research has shown are deciding factors in their purchase. The weapons range is limited to the effective range of the round fired.

Disclaimer: This is not a toy. This is a highly lethal weapon subject to the governing authority of the jurisdiction of usage. Use at your own risk. Does not guarantee the death of a Force User. User discretion is advised. Ignus Industries is not liable for the mishandling or misuse of this product, nor any deaths caused by it.
