STRENGTHS

• Manual control: With a mechanical actuator on the back, the cylinder can be advanced or manually spun in the event of partial ammo or faulty power cells.

WEAKNESSES

• Primitive: With barely any assisting tech and a design that resembles an old slugthrower, the weapon is incredibly basic.
• Recoil: When set to full power, the blaster has significantly more recoil.
• Ammunition: Whether using the pistol at low or full power, the total capacity remains very small.
• Sighting: The weapon only has iron sights and a basic HUD linkage, making the user more reliant on overall skill.

DESCRIPTION
A very basic weapon design made to focus on reliability and affordability, the Model 3 is meant to outfit anyone in the galaxy with cheap firepower. With a simple top-break action and an incredibly inefficient ammunition system, the weapon relies on six individual power cells to power it instead of more typical magazines.

The trade-off, however, is a remarkably light weapon that is easy to use and very nimble. The manual actuator on the back also allows for questionable entertainment and a very satisfying tick when spinning the cylinder manually.
