Talk:Flechette pistol

Reason for edit to a weapon page
The Flechette Pistol, before this page was made, was pretty much ubiquitous with the FWG-5 flechette pistol. However, the "flechette pistol” as mentioned in Boba Fett: pursuit has enough differences between it and the FWG that it is obvious that it is an entirely separate weapon. The weapon fired by Boba creates a CRACK, suggesting explosive force or perhaps compressed gas to launch its projectile. The FWG fires its projectiles via repulsor. Next is the difference in projectile, the FWG fires an aerodynamic repulsor aided pellet - the weapon boba uses clearly describes miniature canisters being launched through the air rather than pellets. To round things off, the pistol in the book is not once referred to as a FWG-5, nor a “smart” (IE: tracking) pistol; the canisters possess zero tracking ability, and Mace Windu is able to dodge several bursts from the weapon because of this. Also, at no time does the vendor selling the weapon, nor Boba, remark on a secondary fire mode which the FWG uses. It is apparently absent in the pistol in the book. Because of these reasons, I have created a more generalized technology page. The FWG-5, a specific model of this technology, has numerous advantages from this more run of the mill, less technologically advanced pistol. This is my reasoning for rewriting the redirect page to a general tech page. Kindly read it before its simply reverted. Dorian G (talk) 02:19, May 2, 2015 (UTC)
