The droid could not wait any longer, making sure his Chameleon Cloak was activated, rendering him invisible, and portion of the material covered the scope and the barrel of his
SR-1, he looked over the Trandoschan's legs. It seemed the beast was wearing heavy armor, Mandalorian in design, probably difficult even for a shot from Shattergun to penetrate, although the rifle droid was using was known to punch through armor of medium vehicles. Still, he did not wanted to take any risks, not when Candez was so close to Trando. Although Rausstik had his pack on the planet, the droid still didn't saw them, they were still holed up in the Spaceport after all, and while the droid brought his own friends for back-up, the difference between the two was that Rausstik would openly hold a spaceport to repair his fleet, HK preferred to keep his forces hidden to spring a trip, if it was necessary, in the end he preferred to just handle things on his own.
Either way, the droid looked over Rahn's armor through his scope. HK fought alongside Mandalorians before, beginning his career as an assassin droid on their side during the Mandalorian Crusades, he knew the layout of beskar'gam suits well, their strengths, and weaknesses, one of such suits was the first armor the droid wore over his metal body. And one of the weaknesses he was keenly aware of was that armor was weaker, or completely absent, around the knee, sure there was usually a plate protecting the kneecap, but the space around it where the knee cap connects to the rest of the leg was thinner and more flexible to provide more movement, otherwise bending knee would be a pain in the butt. So that was where the machine took aim, calculating trajectory to get through that weak portion just at the right angle and slice with the bullet through the joints of the knee, hopefully shattering the kneecap and bone in the process, at least that was what the gun was designed for, it was right in the name, Shattergun.
Once the trajectory was found, HK pulled the trigger, in an instant the rifle silently fired a hyper-velocity projectile, small caliber, hardly big enough for anyone to see during its flight, the bullets of a shattergun didn't need to be big to cause massive damage at the speed they traveled, the only give-away was the buzzing whistling sound they left in their wake as they cut through the air, although the projectile would either meet its mark or pass by before the sound was heard, it traveled faster than sound after all. Even if the droid miscalculated and the projectile would hit the armored plate instead, it would do so with enough force to horribly bruise, and break, the flesh and bone beneath the armor, at least that was the case for most beings, although even abominations like Causstik had their limits, and the droid was intending on finding them. The only downside of the shattergun was its low fire rate, the droid's vision shook and rocked from the recoil and he was forced to scan over the scene again, seeing the results of the shot and take aim once more.
He only hoped the Trandoschan wasn't Force Sensitive and had gift of premonition, which honestly was usually the case in those scenarios, even then, would he had fast enough reaction time to dodge a small caliber bullet traveling fast enough to go clean through most vehicles? HK also hoped that Candez would use this distraction to get away instead of sticking around for the gun fight or straight up brawl that would surely follow.
