Intent: To create a small anti vehicle weapon
Development Thread: If Needed
Manufacturer: Sasori/Chai La (design)
Model: Mac Traps
Affiliation: Mandalorians/Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass Produced
Material:
  • Hybrid Plexisteel
  • Baradium Explosives
  • Magnets
  • Timer
  • Det Tape
Description:
Designed simply as a quickly released explosive trap that can be set in the path of the enemy. Durasteel caltrops with magnetic tips wrapped in det tape. Quick and easier to make and can be deployed in large quantities for locations or dropped over an enemy area to cause mini explosions.

The explosion enough to blow up a hand grasping it (think cherry bomb), not enough to penetrate armors but can compromise it with enough blowing up in it or over an area. The best feature of the caltrops though is the magnets for deploying them from speeders to stick to pursuing enemies or get under a vehicle that is to armored from the sides and top.

Thanks to their being bought by Sasori the company was able to get more funding and improve upon the design. The caltrops better able to be used in their purpose as anti vehicle weapons on the battle field with the baradium explosives being at a higher yield. Their payload increased to be like throwing mini thermal detonators at something and able to melt forfew seconds though armor.
