 * Damage: Physical, 1-4

These pistols are illegal in many planetary systems, being regarded as too powerful a weapon to be owned by civilians. Disruptors reduce solid matter to its constituent molecules. Unlike typical blasters, disruptors ignore most types of personal energy shields.

 * Damage: Physical, 3-6
 * Attack Modifier: +2

A weapon similar to this energy-propelled slug-thrower belonged to Jigger Wraith, a bounty hunter who plagued the Republic years ago. Thirty-seven Mandalorians were executed for being him until sightings declined. As a type of disruptor, this weapon ignores most personal energy shields.
