OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Gun-Works first hard entry into the assault rifle market, the GWE-001 is a versatile assault slugthrower that is capable of dealing with most common enemies, and has an increased shot of survival against lightsaber users, who are often too used to facing blaster wielders, especially if very early into their careers. Gun-Works passes these weapons to Trade League worlds under threat of Sith invasion, along with Anti-Sith groups within the empires own borders...at double the prices in the latter case.

- Slugthrower assault rifle with already attached Grenade Launcher that can be heavily customized and use wide varieties of alternative ammo, with both bullets and grenade rounds
- Rugged and difficult to damage, easy to repair
- Compact and easy to use indoors
- My Little Friend: In Addition to being a high damage assault rifle, it's got an underslung grenade launcher.
- Rip and Tear: It's standard rounds have a chance to tear through body armor and can possibly ignore most shields. A great weapon for all threats, as it's standard solid ammo melts against lightsaber blades, possibly leading to potential splash damage for the lightsaber user.
- Options: Both it's standard rifle and grenade rounds are capable of being swapped out with incendiary, cryonic, electric, sonic, acid, smoke, tranquilizer, and the launcher can accept oversized buckshot rounds, turning it into a type of shotgun, and those oversized buckshot rounds can come in just as many varieties, and can use various aftermarket scopes
- Rugged: Engineered to function in nearly any weather environment
- Heavy: Lugging it around WILL tire you out
- Priorities: One must decide what kind of ammo they will carry and how much of either rifle or grenade rounds. Due to it being a slugthrower, there is an inherent limit to how many reloads one can carry without significant prep time
- Fire rate: The launcher has a low fire rate due to being hand loaded
- Exotic limits: Exotic ammo, is more difficult to come by/manufacture, and is generally more expensive, and not all alternative ammo types are created equal... certain varieties may perform excellent in certain situations and poorly in others. Standard ammo is often the best choice for most situations/or at least the least worst answer
- Repair increase: With the launcher undermount, more repair parts are required when it's damaged
