[Source] The FC-1 flechette launcher was a model of flechette launcher that used a plasma-based firing mechanism. The weapon held six anti-personnel canisters containing hundreds of tiny, razor-sharp flechettes made of durasteel. When fired, those projectiles could penetrate up to ten centimeters, even through the armor of an Imperial stormtrooper. Following the Partisans' mission to Inusagi, during which Saw Gerrera used an FC-1 flechette launcher to assassinate Cor Tophervin, there was talk of banning such weapons from civilian use on that planet.
