- Internal Targeting Computer: This weapon operates at it's fullest capacity when linked to it's user's HUD. The weapon itself is outfitted with a specialized targeting computer that identifies unfriendly target's via their body language, uniforms, and special markings. This targeting system can have individuals, uniforms, and even species' amended from it's targeting computer by the user to better help them terminate enemies and spare allies.
- Lightsaber Ideal: Slugthrowers are ideal when going toe to toe with Force User's who utilize lightsabers. The slugs cannot be entirely deflected via the blade of a lightsaber.
- Advanced Targeting Computer: The automated targeting computer in this weapon helps the user when facing several different opponents or during the split-moment when a crucial shot can be the difference between life and death.
- Fire power: This slugthrower packs a fair punch at a good speed. This makes it harder to dodge and delivers a good deal of stopping power when it connects.
- EMP/ION: The targeting computer is susceptible to EMP based attacks, In the event the computer is taken down the user will have to rely on their HUD to take manual control of the weapon if they want it to be utilized.
- Reloading: The drum clips used in this weapon allow for a slightly longer firing time, however once the clips is expended it must be manually replaced which required the weapon's tow arm to extend in front of the user. This limits the user's movements and forces them to manually reload before continuing battle.
- Heavy: While this weapon is not excruciatingly heavy, it does present an added weight to the armor of the wearer. This added weight can be a minor annoyance, however over time it can increase the risk of fatigue in the wearer.
The KE-1 was a private request made by [member="Ursula Vizla"] to Dynetech Industries. Though the company did not practice in individual weapons contracts, Asher Malvern was eager to tread into water he had never been in, Though he had designed his own share of slugthrowers, none had been shoulder mounted before.
With this in mind Asher went above and beyond with the design of the KE-1. Made from the traditional metal of the Mandalorian's, Beskar, it was a bit heavier than the scientist wished but he would not stray from the Mandalorian design when his client was of the same beliefs. Stepping away from plasma, this slugthrower hosts 7.63 mm rounds that are ideal for leaving a lasting impression in the enemies body. A pivotal part of the weapon's design was it's automated computer which is used in coordination with Ursulu's HUD. Via the shared interface she can optimize the targeting preferences to better help the computer differentiate enemies from allies.
