Projectile Weapons still remain in common use, mainly on worlds where blasters are not readily available. The weapon uses an explosive chemical reaction to propel a metal slug at very high speed. Projectile weapons built on frontier worlds vary widely in capabilities and quality, and modern projectile weapons built by reputable companies such as Czerka, Merr-Sonn, and Oriolanis are sphisticated weapons, that range from pistols and hunting rifles to rapidfirem high-caliber machine guns. The ammunition is also varied some slugs are made of metal, ceramic, and hardened plastics, and specialty rounds can release toxic or stun gases, or acid or carry explosive heads. Projectile weapons have many advantages one they are cheap and easy to repair and can be built with a minimum of high technology. Also the projectile leaves no visable beam unlike a blaster and it is also easily silenced. The main disadvantages are that the soldier needs to carry ammunition. The Oriolanis Striker Pistol is a standard short-range weapon with an optimum range of 30 meters, and a maximum range of 60 meters. The Dresselian rifle is far more crude and its long barrel gives it a maximum range of 300 Meters and an optimum range of 150 meters. | |
