Accelerated Charged Particle Repeater Gun

The LS-150 Repeating Accelerated Charged Particle Weapon, commonly known as the ACP repeater gun, was a medium-range blaster manufactured by Arakyd Industries. It was popular amongst criminals, most notably the Trandoshan mercenary group. These guns were not at all advanced and had built-in extinguishers in case of overheating.

They were capable of cutting through shields with ease, but relatively ineffective against battle droids and other armored surfaces.

Each particle ammunition cartridge consists of forty small particle charges that are the source of energy for the accelerated particle shots the gun fires. Upon activation, each particle charge has enough power to fuel one shot, after a particle charge has been fired the empty shell of that charge is ejected out the top of the gun; this cycle continues until the entire ammo cartridge runs out or when the holder takes his/her finger off the trigger. It seems that the weapon also uses some kind of tracer-ammunition as the accelerated-charged-particles cannot be seen when fired. However, the ACP Heavy Repeater fires bigger and more energized rounds which can be seen without additional tracer-ammunition.
