Description: Beskar armor is a real threat, and with the recent surge of Mandalorian activity in the galaxy it never hurts to be prepared. That's what the Mando Killer Bowcaster does for you, it allows you to be prepared. Well that and puncture beskar plating armor.
How it's built. As far as bowcasters go this one is pretty standard, it creates a magnetic field at each end in order to magnetically accelerate projectiles, and like most bowcasters it's lever activated rather than the more uncommon automatic variant. The material of the weapon is of course a solid and steady Durasteel so it can handle the kick of this weapon. Loading is simple and easy, simply slide a beskar spike into the back chamber and seal the cap behind it, then crank to bring the next round over to load until all three barrels are loaded. After that you are ready to rock and roll, simply pull the trigger, cock, then fire again.
Power. This is the big area of the weapon. The bowcaster is known for hitting much harder than traditional blasters so it made sense to have this weapon be the platform for removing those pesky mando problems. So with the power of a magnetically accelerated plasma encased foot long piece of beskar spike behind it this weapon will fire an incredibly powerful shot that is very capable of piercing beskar plated personal armor systems and push deep enough into a soft target to cause damage. It's a very straight forward system, take your average bowcaster put a big beskar spike in it then shoot it at a target. There's not a lot else to it than that, and while it is highly capable of piercing beskar armor this is never guaranteed in PVP scenarios.
Drawbacks. You're gonna have to lift to use this weapon. It's heavy, it's big, and it packs a hell of a punch. So if you're a smaller individual whose non augmented it's not recommended that this weapon should be used. However the use of power gloves can allow the average humanoid the ability to wield the weapon. Otherwise it takes a more experienced operator to use this hassle free.
Other drawbacks are of course the weapons lever action and very low ammo count. It's got three shots and each has to be loaded individually along with not having a speed loader so reload times are terrible. Plus the kick that this weapon gives can be very hard to control, not to mention it's short range of thirty meters. Anything beyond thirty it's not going to pierce beskar so make sure you aren't using this at long range.
Summary. It's a very big gun for a very simple purpose of killing mandalorians and their overrated metal. One moment they'll be flying around with their jet packs and T visor and the next they'll have a metal spike sticking out their chest thanks to this puppy.
