Bolt-thrower

The Alliance Bolt-thrower was a ranged weapon used by Alliance Special Forces infiltration units. It was constructed from steel, spun graphite and utilizes a fluffed shadowsilk braid to produce a weapon that was nearly silent but with the stopping power approaching that of a blaster. The bolt-thrower had the significant disadvantage of only being able to fire one bolt at a time before a timely reloading sequence.
