SPECIAL FEATURES
- Accurized barrel choke creates a tighter bullet spread.
- Aurodium numeral engraving on beryllius slide.
- Enhanced grips and shock-absorbent gel for decreased recoil.
- Glowrod attachment on the bottom of the barrel.
- Scattershot Slugthrower: The Paradoxal utilizes depleted baradium pellets to shoot in a scattershot-manner, that is able to do high amounts of damage and pass through deflector shields in close range.
- Accurized: Advanced craftsmanship of the Paradoxal gives it a tighter and more uniform bullet spread, increasing its accuracy and effective range when compared to other scattershot weapons.
- Lightsaber Fiend: The scattershot pellets of the slugthrower are unable to be completely blocked by a lightsaber, and contact with the volatile baradium pellets produces miniature explosions, making the weapon extremely deadly against Force Users.
- Long Ranges: Due to the spread of the scattershot pellets of the Paradoxal, it is ineffective at nearly any long range.
- Low Ammunition: The Paradoxal has a very small magazine, and each slug has to be manually reloaded one at a time.
- Slow-Firing: The low firing rate of the Paradoxal makes it not ideal against a large crowd of targets.
There are many who consider the slugthrower to be a crude, obsolete weapon of a more barbaric time. In their eyes, blasters are more efficient, they cost less ammunition to operate and are more modern when compared to a slugthrower. But then again, there is nothing quite like the report of a projectile leaving the chamber, the recoil in your hands as a bullet combusts and propels itself forward, and the satisfaction of an actual projectile impacting against an enemy versus a radiating blaster bolt. There is no weapon like a slugthrower. And there is no slugthrower like a scattergun, shooting a spread of deadly pellets that slice into unsuspecting foes at close range.
And there is no scattergun like the Paradoxal.
Armed with depleted baradium slugs, an accurate barrel allows the slugthrower to shoot in a spread that is deadly but controlled and tighter than standard scatterguns, increasing the effective range of the weapon. Of course, by virtue of the weapons design, the Paradoxal is ineffective at long ranges, constantly needs reloading and spare ammunition, and has a less-than-ideal fire rate, but the payoff is an extremely powerful close-range weapon that can rip into nearly any armor.
