Alright, just a few things here.

First, it states that it can fire thermal detonators. That's cool, but lemme ask you something. Do you really want up to six miniaturized baradium warheads that will go off upon significant pressure on the nose of the explosive that close to your body? Also, while I know Star Wars has grenade launchers and equivalent grenades available, I've never heard nor seen a launcher variant for the thermal detonator. I hate to be "that guy", but unless there's canonical evidence that there is a thermal detonator grenade launcher variant I'm going to ask for a dev thread for it. You can either do a weapon and grenade dev thread for this gun OR you can dev the grenade itself and sub it separately while leaving this launcher open for "modular/compatible varieties of ammunition" in the sub.

If you don't want to dev thread anything, just drop the thermal det launcher capabilities and you should be golden. If you can find canon evidence for launcher capable thermal dets, post up the link for it and I'll browse through it. If it checks out, you should be good.

Second, it states it can fire "buckshot". If this means it can fire a shotgun shell, you need to include such. If this is a variety of grenade, please link me because that's a weird named grenade. If it's a typo (I make 'em, too lol) just pull it.

Third... well, that's pretty much it. Not much else to review. It looks good otherwise, so just @ me when ready and we'll move along.

I actually have two things,a Wookieepedia entry: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thermal_Detonator_Launcher
And a thermal detonators launcher already approved on this site: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/11512-bti-tdl-the-reckoning/

Alright, that works out. I still think you have to be nuts to carry thermal dets armed like that and that many that close to you, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Also, I see you clarified that this fires shotgun shells. What gauge shotgun shells are you firing, what ammunition is it compatible, and do you have anything to prevent this weapon from tearing your arm off when you fire a 40mm shotgun shell? If it's a modular item, like an underslung mount, don't put it in the main sub and just leave it a modular attachment, please.
