- New type of brake muzzle designed for less recoil.
- Made mostly of beskar.
- Currently Kista’s Creations only make rounds with a Beskar tip. Future rounds maybe made in the future.
- Stopping power. This pistol was designed to hit without mercy.
- Stopping Power - This pistol has a tremendous amount of power for a handgun. The amount of force can easily stager an opponent. It was made to show no mercy.
- Beskar Tipped Rounds – The rounds were made with armor piercing rounds. With the force of this pistols and the beskar tipped round there is a good chance to pierce high material strength personal armor.
- Brake Muzzle – This pistol does have a brake muzzle. It was a feature to help limit the recoil. It helps but this weapon still has one heck of a kickback when fired.
- Limited Chambers – This weapon only has a five cylinder chamber. This is an extreme disadvantage when facing an adversary with a weapon that has a weapon that has a hundred or more rounds in their weapon.
- Kick Back 1 – This weapon has serious recoil. The recoil is so great it will break bones in your wrist. The only way to compensate for this is to use tech or some type of feature to protect the wrist. Items like a crusguantlet would help.
- Kinetic discharge Impact- There are a number of internal working beskar components within the pistol. Even beskar has its limits, and can become damaged. If fired three times within post, some or most of the internal working parts… can become bent, cracked, or broken. When this happens the pistol will not continue to work, and the owner will have to seek out a beskar smith to fix the pistol. The smith will need a working forge in a non combat situation to fix the pistol.
Higher chance of a backfire – If fired twice within a single post the chances of a backfire is doubled, tripled if fired three times in one post. Outcome of a backfiring slug thrower is up to the writer as in some cases the results have been death for a backfiring slug thrower.
Even at the young age of fourteen Kista was a talented inventor. One day while occupying her time while her father worked, Kista formulated a thought. A thought to make a fun personalized hand gun for her. Her imagination just ran with the possibilities. She had a pretty good base idea of what she wanted. To come up with a solid blue print she had to do some solid research. She had a pretty good data base of different types of Mandalorian rippers FWI, the data base she was using was for the Bralor Clan, one of the very first Clans in history. They had a pretty good sizable history. Some designs were obsolete. Every blue print had its peers and with the right type of ingenuity it could be redesigned into something more updated.
She had a pretty good idea of what she wanted. So she called up several designs that could be suitable for modification to her desires. There were several hits that she could choose from. She took the time to look over each blue print. Also she watched holo vids on their performances. She had a blast watching the vids…she tends to get a little excited when seeing things explode.
She wanted to up the stopping power of the weapon. So...
The main principle for kinetic slug throwers is what fuels it to shoot a metal slug from out of its barrel. Through the galaxy this main principle holds true but the propellant can be different. Some use what is known as black powder. Some use an actual liquid as a propellant. In all cases this propellant crates a kinetic discharge that propels the slug.
The amount of fuel you use and what type can determine the caliber of the weapon. The caliber is one of the factors that can determine the amount of damage the slug could potently do.
There is also one limitation all slug throwers have to overcome. The science of it has become a form of art over the many long years. Many use this art to play it safe to prevent the discharge to backfire. A backfire consists when slug throwers miss fires and the kinetic discharge is propelled backwards towards the operator.
Kista did not play it safe when developing this fire arm. She used unsafe levels of black powder to develop a heaver kinetic impact to give the slug a higher impact and penetration. The results are a unsafe level of kickback, possible damage to the weapon, and a slightly larger chance of a backfire.
The damage to the operator can vary to depending on the factors involved. In some cases death has happened.
