This is only an approximate appearance.
I created my own, hand-drawn image, though it is so terrible, I dare not post it here.
I have absolutely no idea why there are two optical devices mounted at the same time.
The FAAL's barrel is much larger.
The compressed air comes in place of the 4x scope on the front.
The receiver is longer.
The secondary weapon takes the place of the foregrip.
The blade is hung under the barrel.
I am sorry for not posting my original image.

Description:
The FAAL is a weapon used for many different tasks. The tool utilizes the extreme power of fluoroantimonic acid, and the stunning corrosion resistance of PTFE. Due to this, the weapon can be used for war and mining alike. The FAAL offers a wide variety of uses. The FAAL fires a frail, light PTFE canister, which is meant to shatter on impact with any semi-hard surface. If the shell shatters, the acid is spilled out onto the surrounding area.
However, with such awe-inspiring power comes a variety of severe limitations. This weapon is prone to causing incredible collateral damage, while also having a tendency to malfunction. For this reason, it is recommended that the shooter uses both extreme caution and protective gear.
The FAAL is a magazine-fed weapon. A vertical magazine is inserted in the compartment, and held in by an electromagnet to prevent the magazine from coming loose.
Its inner system is made entirely of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), as this is a material entirely resistant to fluoroantimonic acid, and to most other acidic substances. The outer shell is made mostly of durasteel, with the exception of the stock, which is molded entirely from plastoid.
The FAAL uses compressed air to launch its ammunition. The compressed air canister is inserted on the top of the weapon, above the magazine.
The FAAL sports a rail, which allows the installation of various different optics.
On the bottom side of the weapon’s durasteel chassis rests a small, experimental blaster. This blaster utilizes a compact laser emitter, powered by a strong lithium ion battery inserted in the bottom of the weapon. The bursts of light travel at approximately 300,000km/s. Alone, the laser bursts are non-lethal and invisible. In a dense atmosphere, the weapon performs best, as the laser burst heats up air particles around it into a state of hot plasma, which deals some limited damage to unarmored targets. If fired as a continuous beam, the weapon can heat up, and potentially burn the user. The lithium ion battery offers a very limited power source. This weapon is useless in a vacuum.
The plastoid stock comes in two variants, the rifle stock, and the short stock.
On the bottom side of the barrel resides an optional attachment, a durasteel blade.

Note(s):
If the weapon is overpowered (which is quite likely), please notify me. I believe this can be avoided by drastically raising the price on the market. I tried to be as scientifically accurate as possible, though I will admit that the laser technology is slightly exaggerated, though I believe that is forgivable. Both PTFE and Fluoroantimonic acid exist. I do not know if they have been discovered in the Star Wars universe yet. If not, I can create a development thread.
Thank you for your time.
