SPECIAL FEATURES

• Repair: Can switch to the repair option in which the Shotgun can unleash an electrical repair beam that can heal small turrets, Droids and some speeders to a small extent.

STRENGTHS

• Repairs galore!: Being an engineer, Hilal integrated an experimental repair system onto her shotgun. It can give out simple repairs to any Droids, vehicles and other electrical based items from a distance. Furthermore, the scanner on the shotgun gives Hilal information on the health of the machinery she targets enabling to examine the specific problem.
• It's still a Shotgun duh!: Even though it gives some quick repairs, Hilal's shotgun acts as a typical shotgun capable of dealing massive damage at close quarters.

WEAKNESSES

• Patch job: The shotgun can only give minor repairs; at most it just keeps that machine up and running. Extensive damage is beyond its power and will need to looked at by Hilal.
• Wet Noodle: To compensate for Hilal's small and frail stature, the Shotgun's damage and recoil had to be lowered making it a tier below the typical shotgun.

DESCRIPTION

One day while bored at her shop, Hilal decided to create a weapon that could dish out repairs in a pinch. Grabbing used parts from her shop, Hilal quickly got to work constructing this experimental weapon. It took a day and a half to complete the weapon in which Hilal named it "Magnus Chungus" after a reading a mistranslated word from the subtitles while watching a cartoon. Though it's not Hilal's best weapon in terms of power, Hilal found it useful in supporting machine-based weaponry and uses it for personal home defense or jobs that involve Droids or machines.

I'm going to return this to the pre-factory for you to work on some more. Upon reading the submission it feels that you are attempting to lift the Rescue Ranger from TeamFortress 2 and put it into the Star Wars universe, I would look at explaining in more detail exactly how it works. It's perfectly fine to be inspired by a weapon or technology from another intellectual property. However, you can't just copy them but instead need to look at the universe of Star Wars and figure out how to bring your vision in. In this case, the electrical beam described would cause damage instead of repairing as the self-reparing link refers to only armour. You might consider looking at other means to achieve the same result.

However, I also wish to point out that in a previous submission you were warned about plagiarism and copying other universes technologies too closely. Please take this opportunity to read through the factory and general rules. Also, please take this as an official warning, we allow our writers considerable leeway in the submissions they can make, but plagiarism of the work which others have put into creating fictional technologies will not be tolerated. Please refrain from these kinds of direct copies in the future or we will be forced to take more direct actions.
