Description: Vitiate had manufactured blasters for the One Sith, but never shotguns. Under the ownership of A’sharad Graush, the VF-12 Shotgun came to life. Titled for being in collaboration with the First Order’s own weapon designers, the idea for the weapon had come to life when the Sith came to the realization that he wasn’t too good with blasters. In close quarters, a shotgun would render the need for accuracy to be unnecessary.

Ammunition being slugthrower pellets, they contain a kinetic force behind them, capable of throwing the average unarmoured humanoid back a metre or two. Coming into contact with something heavier than the average person would effectively stop their forwards momentum, or to at least slow them enough for there to be a difference in the effect of collision.

[member="Asharad Graush"], this looks pretty good to me.

Effective Range: Battlefield.

Shotguns tend to be pretty close range weapons in terms of actual effectiveness. I'd probably change this to either "short-range battlefield", "personal", or pick out a specific range based on a real life shotgun.
