Official Weapon Name: None
Faction/Affiliation: Shylas / Dantooine Liberation Army
Classification: Crossbow
Stock/Custom: Custom
Manufacturer: Shylas
Dimensions-
Length: 88cm
Weapon weight: 4kg
Magazine / Power Cell Capacity: None
RPM: Depends on the operator, but the average for a single-shot crossbow is 3 shots per minute.
Effective Range: 40-90~ meters
Projectile: 50.8cm bolts (basically arrows)
Caliber: None
Other: It can fire easily over a 295 meters, however, the bolt fired at such a range is not nearly as effective and may not be lethal at that range. On top of which like many crossbows it is most accurate at ranges around 27-60 meters, beyond that its accuracy is difficult to control, though a crossbow can still be quite lethal and fairly accurate up to 90 meters.
Description:
"Waste not" was the idea behind the weapon. It was originally her first hunting rifle that her father gave her when she was just a little Cathar kitten going out on her first hunting venture with him. Over the years and many hunting seasons, it simply begun to break down despite being well-maintained, succumbing to a flaw in the weapon design. But rather than retire the old gun Shylas took parts from a broken down bowcaster that her father took from the body of a wookiee merc he had killed years ago, and with a narrow, bendable yet sturdy three foot long metal plate, she made the old hunting rifle into a crossbow. It has since been her favored weapon for hunting game, and since joining the Dantooine Liberation Army, hunting Sith, too.
She was once asked by a DLA comrade what she named her creation, and her response was a confused, "Who th'frak namesth thar weapon?!"
