Slugthrower/Legends

Slugthrowers were weapons that launched solid projectiles, or bullets, for example by using a chemical propellant. Blasters were fashioned in style and function after these more primitive weapons.

Slugthrowers were inferior to blasters in most respects, and are often used by more primitive cultures who had not yet developed blaster technology.
