| - Name: .48-cal Dissuader Pistol Manufacturer: Sareno Industries Production Rights: Kaiden Sareno, Daeron Aruetyc Ordo Designation: Slugthrower Type: Ranged Cost: 6,500 Cr Description: Rounds: .48-caliber shells Weight: 2.1 kg Ammo Cap: 12 shot per clip The .48-caliber Dissuader pistol(s) were constructed to be used by Commando/General forces as well as vu'traat (Special forces). They weighed aprox. 2.1 kg and could fire all 12 shots in little under 7 seconds. They had a reasonable kick, about the same as a Real Life .48-cal pistol. Each pistol would be customized by the carrier, the grip altered for their hands and such. No two pistols will be the same. They are constructed as a blank weapon and further customized by the user. The pistols would be largely effective against lightly and medium armored foes, while the people who run around in full phrik or beskar would be able to withstand at least 3 of these firing all 12 rounds into the same place. Effectiveness: Light: Highly Medium: Fairly Heavy: Minimum Round types: Each pistol can be equipped with several different round variations. From regular ballistic rounds that are normally loaded into the .48-caliber Dissuader pistol to Explosive, incendiary and mercy slugs. Each type has it's own purpose other than the "Kill, kill, kill" attitude most people have with their weapons. Explosive: Explosive ammo dealt additional kinetic damage to a target. Incendiary: Incendiary ammunition could cause burns that were as dangerous as the projectile, or set items on fire. Mercy: Mercy bullets made of rubber or semi-rigid plastic gave a way to set a slugthrower on 'stun'. Each pistol comes with a specially designed silencer making it great for recon and/or stealth missions. The reason the Generals and Commando's would use these instead of a standard army issue blaster is that slugthrowers are generally cheaper and more easily repaired than blasters.
