Intent: To be used as a personal means of self-defense.
Development Thread: [none]
Manufacturer: Tacitanya Raderi
Model: Whistleflute I
Affiliation: None
Modularity: Being custom-constructed from the beginning, there is much capacity for modification. However, Tacitanya is not a very big/strong person, and also is not confident with weaponry. Therefore, it is maintained in a sleek and simple design, specifically created to be light, concealable, and accurate enough for close combat self-defense. Firepower is far from exceptional.
Production: Unique
Material: rhodium-coated beryllius copper barrel; quadanium-encased power pack; carbo-plas grip
Description: Normally averse to handling weapons, 20 years on some of the most crime-ridden streets in the galaxy has convinced Tacitanya to provide herself with a means of self-preservation. The blaster was designed from scavenged parts, collected on Coruscant and Corellia. It exhibits a beautifully polished, silvery cylindrical barrel, which breathes a crisp whistle when the gun is fired.
Reliably accurate, but ineffective at increasing distances. Point-blank range to a range of 30 meters could be deadly against flesh. 30+ meters sees a gradual decline in blast potency and unlikely to cause mortal injury. Durasteel armor penetration decreases exponentially from absolutely at point-blank to inconsequential at 25+ meters. Blast strength is relatively low, even for a pistol, which is advantageous for a smaller woman like Tacitanya since it has no significant kick when fired.
Maintenance is easy for Tacitanya, since she built it.
Classification: Blaster
Size: Handheld (pistol)
Status: Limited - only one model in existence; not for sale
Length: 194 millimeters
Weight: 595 grams
Ammunition Type: Gas canister
Ammunition Capacity: 25
Effective Range: 50 meters
