TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Songsteel barrel and chamber allow for a great increase in power over traditional dueling pistols
  • Precision Internals

Strengths:
  • Songsteel barrel is rated for much higher pressure loads than standard dueling pistols. Also provides limited resistance to lightsaber strikes, though the strike would obliterate the ornamentation and probably make Rusty cry.
  • The Twins are supremely accurate within their effective range. Extremely easy to aim and fire.
Weaknesses:
  • The muzzleloading design is not one that can be reloaded quickly. A skilled user might be able to perform the task in under thirty seconds.
  • It is entirely possible to exceed the mechanical tolerances of the human wrist if the user loads too high a powder charge. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
DESCRIPTION
Beautiful and practical are so often at odds with each other in firearm design theory that one has to recalibrate their sense of aesthetics to accommodate the fact that modern weapons are butt ugly. That wasn't always the case. In the past, function and form merged seamlessly to create weapons of astounding beauty.

This set of matched dueling pistols, known affectionately as The Twins, seeks to recapture that lost glory.

With a songsteel barrel, intricately carved at great expense, brass and gold accents, and a carved ebony stock, The Twins are truly a work of art. Though they're only single shot, precision machined durasteel and alusteel internals make for an exceedingly accurate pair of weapons that, in the hands of a skilled shooter, become an extension of their will. In the right hands, two shots can challenge the fickle whims of fate.
