- Highly
- Just like the Jawa Scrap Armor, each Arquebus is produced by hand, individually crafted by the Jawa constructing the firearm - thus they are often just as much highly modified and show off the creativity of the Jawa that constructed the weapon. Likewise, while some Arquebus are similar, no two are exactly the same unless they've been constructed by the same Jawa (and even this is a rarity).

Lug - A hook like projection on the underside of the barrel that can be utilized to stabilize the weapon on various surfaces such as battlements or other objects.
Utinni! - Be it because they are made by Jawas or just their construction in general; the Jawa Arquebus is incapable of being fired by an species other than a Jawa - as the weapon is likely to explode, fail or otherwise fall apart in the hands of a Non-Jawa.
Like a ST-101 - Being hit with one of these weapons is like being hit by an ST-101 Repulsortruck.
Utinni! - Extremely fragile even in the hands of Jawas, the Jawa Arquebus has a high chance of misfiring or otherwise fail in the heat of the moment.
Varying Calibers - Due to their creativity and being constructed individually by a Jawa, the Arquebus do not have a unified caliber of round, meaning that a Jawa must carry their own munitions and enough to last through a battle.
UTINNI!
With a mighty scream of UTINNI! and a loud crack of volley fire, the image of Jawas storming a position becomes all the more terrifying. The Jawa Arquebus is a weapon that is as terrifying as it is unique in its construction. Being hand crafted by a single Jawa, no two weapon is the same meaning that even the weapon's caliber varies from weapon to weapon. Its strength lies in the simple fact that these weapons are unpredictable at best even in the hands of Jawas. This is even more true when in the hands of a non-Jawa where the weapon is oddly enough more likely to malfunction. Its capability to also hit like a Repulsortruck is a boon when the Jawas have larger species barreling down upon them or Tusken Raiders attempting to take their hard earned Scrap.
However like many weapons, the Arquebus has is drawbacks - and though they are often crafted by the hands of a Jawa, they are also just as likely to malfunction in that Jawas hands. Likewise, due to these weapons varying from creator to creator, their caliber also drastically differs. While this can be a benefit for some, it can also be a detriment in the heat of battle if one Jawa was to run out of munitions for their Arquebus.
