The Mancheron Type 82 Mega Junk Pistol was the strange invention of Doctor Igor Zugor of the Mancheron Association of Manufacturing and Commerce. The overall idea of combining a slugthrower pistol and a blaster cannon was deemed feasible at the time and thus the Engineering Department of the Association pressured Doctor Zugor to begin turning this fantasy into reality. Knowing that such a weapon would never work in actuality, but also knowing that the chance of getting fired was also present made Zugor push hard. Using company resources to turn this strange idea into reality with the First Prototype of the "Mega Junk Pistol" mostly called such due to its strange design which made people think it was made by jawas from scraps. Much like the finished product, the prototype was extremely unreliable and unstable resulting in numerous disasters with testers. Only the most luckiest of people within the galaxy could possibly operate this weapon without it falling apart.
Although the weapon packs a mean punch due to its high rate of fire and high damage output overall, it has zero actual accuracy meaning that it cannot hit anything and will more than likely hit your allies on the battlefield than your opponents. The weapon itself is highly unstable and more often than not the weapon will get jammed on the battlefield; leaving the user vulnerable. With the heavy recoil, many people have suffered their wrist or even hands being broken after using it once. Overall this weapon is considered an abomination to actual good weaponry and many people have asked why it was invented in the first place.
With all these mostly negative things about the weapon being undiscovered due to Doctor Zugor keeping it quiet. The Association would begin manufacturing them for the open market; unaware of the piece of junk they were selling to customers.
