Disruptor rifle



A disruptor rifle was a vicious and horrible weapon that disintegrated its target. It tore apart its victim at the molecular level, destroying their body tissues and bypassing most sorts of personal energy shields.

A disruptor weapon shot a constant beam of energy that would travel in a straight direction until it hit something, so this made disruptors very popular as sniping weapons, and most types of disruptor were manufactured with built in scopes. As they were so inhumane, the use of disruptor weapons was illegal in the Republic, and therefore was usually associated with shadier organizations, such as crime syndicates and Mandalorians, and the weapons became prime smuggling objects, as they were highly valued in taboo areas. The weapon was also utilized by Tyber Zann and his Consortium to defeat the enemies he faced in his campaign for corruption. A smaller version of the disruptor rifle was the disruptor pistol, which was lighter and smaller but still almost as deadly as its larger cousin.

Dash Rendar used a different type of the disruptor rifle. This was not a weapon used for sniping. It shot a small blue plasma ball that exploded and did a large amount of damage. It was much like the concussion rifle.
