Intent: To create a neat Wrist Weapon
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Development Thread:
Model: Mk6
Affiliation: Private Market
Modularity: Yes
Material: Mandalorian Steel, Slugthrower Components
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: Slugthrower
Size: Handheld
Length: 30 Centimeters
Weight: 2 Kilograms
Ammunition Type: APEB Rounds
Ammunition Capacity: 5 Bolts
Effective Range: 30 Meters
Rate of Fire: Semi-Automatic
DESCRIPTION
The Wrist Bolter, brought to you by Firemane Industries in partnership with Gotal'veman, is simple. Its a remodeling and reworking of an existing design with Mandalorians in mind. Stereotypically, Mandalorian style armor has slots or attachment locations for weapons on the wrist, and for those seeking a little extra edge or firepower on their arms, the Bolt Pistol was taken and redone by the Smiths of Gotal'veman. Once they had a working model, its schematics were returned to Firemane for production.
Unlike the Bolt Pistol, the Wrist Bolter has been modified with a repulsor/inertial dampening recoil suppressors. These are low-grade, nothing as extraordinary as the Keldabe Cannon or the Shacklebolt, just enough to take the edge off and leave the operator's arm in their socket. It still requires a strong individual to fire without bracing their firing arm, however much of the force is negating keeping their joints in tact.
However these dampeners cause the normally vast range of the Bolt Pistol to be drastically reduced. Normally over a hundred meters effectively, the Wrist Bolter is inaccurate at anything over thirty meters, sacrificing pin point precision for raw, unadulterated firepower. Finally, due to the very large size and the amount of space required of the Wrist bolter, Mandalorians have found they are unable to fit other weapons on the arm it is attached to and have them operate properly.

Strengths:
- Raw Power: Nothing tops the raw power of a Bolter. This continues to be the case for the Wrist Bolter.
- Recoil Suppression: Much of the recoil has been dealt with using gyrostabilizers and inertial dampeners in the weapons construction, but this only keeps it from tearing your arm off, not eliminating recoil.
- Low Accuracy: The weapon trades precision for raw power. Don't expect to be shooting the wings off flies.
- Poor Range: Range is fairly standard for many weapons, but is horrendous compared to other Slugthrowers and Boltguns.
- Large: Many Mandalorian armors allow for multiple wrist attachments, the Wrist Bolter consumes all of these slots and cannot be concealed.
- Armor Penetration
- Large
