- Reliable: The Merzoidian Hand-Cannon has been manufactured to the highest degree of quality possible, making it a supremely reliable weapon.
- Statement piece: The use of precious metals and exotic materials in the construction of the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is virtually guaranteed to display its user's wealth and power for all to see.
- Close quarters combat: The Integrated Vibroblade attachment makes the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon especially dangerous in close quarters combat.
- Accurate: The Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is surprisingly accurate for a weapon of its type and maintains a good overall range.
- Versatile: Being a slugthrower, the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon can utilize a number of speciality slugs or bullets, giving it a good amount of versatility.
- Statement piece: Anyone wielding the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is bound to be noticed-whether they want to be or not.
- Your hearing loss is not service related: The Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is ridicously loud, and their is no effective way to silence the weapon.
- Clunky Reload: Even with the weapon's Speedloader, reloading can be a slow and arduous process, and the weapon itself only holds 6 rounds in total.
- Slow: The Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is a slow firing weapon, and produces heavy recoil with each pull of the trigger.
- Dangerous: The weapon's Integrated Vibroblade can injure the user just as easily as it can enemies. Holstering the weapon can also be dangerous if the user forgets to disengage the Vibroblade.
- If you need to ask how much it costs, then you can't afford it: Needless to say, the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is an absurdly expensive weapon to produce, and has a correspondingly high cost to purchase.
From a cultural standpoint, most Merzoidians tend to embrace pacifism, as they had few enemies to fight during their long history of self imposed isolation from the galaxy. That being said, it was not as if blaster and weapons technology were unknown to the Merzod People. Instead, most Merzoidians tended to see blasters as just another medium to express their creativity and artistic ability, which can be seen in the craftsmanship of their blaster pistols.
The Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is a prime example of this particular design philosophy, although these weapons are slugthrowers and not blaster pistols. Created in a set of 5 distinct variants, the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is part functioning weapon and part technology demonstrator, equipped with features not seen on most comparable armaments.
One of the defining features of the Merzoidian Hand-Cannon is the weapon's Integrated Vibroblade attachment, scaled down to fit onto the small frame of a slugthrower revolver. This, coupled with the Hand-Cannon's Magnetic Pulse Accelerator, makes the weapon usable at both short range and long range, and is naturally a technically impressive accomplishment. Equally as impressive is the weapon's rich engravings and use of precious metals and exotic materials.
Of course, just like many other Merzoidian based designs, the Hand-Cannon is in reality a rather impractical weapon to use and carry, as the Vibroblade can make storing the weapon rather difficult, to say nothing of the possibility of accidental self injury. In addition, the weapon's small magazine size and slow rate of fire means it is not a weapon for amateur use. Only a skilled shooter can get the most out of his or her Hand-Cannon.
