Well, it's not a Star Wars weapon, but one of my old favorites was the
'Sandman' gun from 'Logan's Run'. I saw a blueprint once in an old Starlog
magazine...It fired ~1cm pellets of magnesium, using pressurized butane,
lit off by an electric spark at the base of the firing chamber...kind of a
fore-runner of modern paintball guns(much the same design...don't suppose the
first paintballers watched LR, do ya? :)
....A blazing hunk 'o magnesium hitting at about the same speed as a paint
pellet....lousy range, but I think it would be quite decidedly nasty...
heh.
PS - If anybody's interested, I have some TRULY sick weapon designs some
friends and I came up with...
"Grade-A bang-bang!"
