[Source] The Mandalorian disintegrator was the deadliest disruptor pistol available during the Dark Wars, a series of conflicts fought between remnants of the Sith Empire and the forces of the Galactic Republic occurring after the Jedi Civil War. The disintegrator was designed by the Mandalorian culture and was in violation of the Republic legal code. Like other disruptors of its time, the Mandalorian disintegrator fired energy bolts that ignored personal energy shields.
