Model MSD-32 Disruptor Pistol

The Merr-Sonn MSD-32 Disruptor Pistol may have been the most advanced disruptor weapon ever created, though its production period was woefully short.

The MSD-32 was a step up over lower-quality disruptor weapons like the DX-2 disruptor pistol, due to the inclusion of higher-quality technology. A rapid-pulse energy module increased the weapon's destructive power, reduced the recharge time between shots from five seconds to three, and increased its ammo capacity to ten shots.

The weapon was so deadly and the company so horrified by what it had wrought that Merr-Sonn took steps to cover up the fact that the weapon ever existed - the design was purged from all company computers, the designers were sent to the spice mines, the managers were killed, and every weapon they could get their hands on was destroyed.

A few weapons were sold before this purge began, however. Supposedly, these weapons were to be used by Imperial agents; however, quite a few of them found their way into the wrong hands.
