DESCRIPTION
Designed by a concordian under mandalarms, the weapon was meant militias and security details in the turbulent edge of the outer rim, where prepping with the right tool for the right job just isn't possible on short notice. The HW-55, despite it's versatility, didn't see much action, as it's initial distribution hadn't occurred till shortly before the fall of mandalore, and was in halted by the scattering of mandalorians. with folks getting back on their feet, the HW-55 has been released to the public market.

Your ratings for the Scattergun are fine, but I'll need you to supply a rate of fire for the underslung flamethrower. You'll also need to adjust the ratings for the blaster rifle itself. As you can see from the grid under the spoiler, you're currently three ratings over balance.

Spoiler

I'd also suggest adding another weakness as the current one, while acceptable, isn't enough to really offer balance for the current functionality this weapon features.

[member="Runi Verin"] I'll get to work on that, but may I ask, how would you go about applying a fire rate to a flame thrower? should I just write "Continuous", since it only really stops till you let go of the trigger or run out of fuel?

[member="Runi Verin"] lol I forgot how the template worked for a moment, nevermind the above. I've lowed the reload speed by a rating to slow, and raised the weight 2 from light to heavy, linked the materials and made a weakness that should suit the weapon

Approved.
