Hurdisi Photonic Blackout Rounds are a type of slug or bullet containing a miniaturized non-incendiary photonic charge and a capsule of accelerite. Upon hitting a target, the accelerite is released into their system, and the photonic charge activates. The charge emits a photonic burst that also reacts with the accelerite to produce an unusual form of radiation that suppresses the entire light spectrum. The can render a target that requires visual sight completely blind until the bullet is removed or the accelerite cleansed from the body. The blinding effect is diminished on creatures without a circulatory system to spread the accelerite throughout theit body and is completely ineffective against creatures who do not require sight at all or use Force Sight. The photonic burst still works the same regardless. The accelerite can only spread if it actually embeds in the target so it can inject the substance through the circulatory system. This renders it ineffective against metal or composite armors ( and the like), as it has no armor piercing. If the round is slashed with a lightsaber, it will effectively be destroyed, but the accelerite will be ignited by the lightsaber, causing a splash of flaming liquid. If the slug hits armor or is otherwise blocked, the photonic charge will still detonate, and the accelerite will still release, creating a cloud of darkness about the size of a large person. This may possibly be put to use by clever individuals.
