Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Galaxy at War
Found on primitive planets where Slugthrowers are still used, the Scattergun is a large-barreled, low-velocity Slugthrower that launches a blast of pellets spreading out over a distance. Scattergun and their ammunition are cheap to manufacture and are primarily used for hunting.
However, mercenaries, marines, and other soldiers sometimes carry a Scattergun as a backup weapon for facing enemies in close quarters or for clearing rooms in house-to-house fighting. Scatterguns deal 3d8 points of damage at Point-Blank Range, 2d8 points of damage at Short Range, and no damage at Medium or Long Range.
Scatterguns do not need Power Packs. Instead, they fire individual shells. Scatterguns hold 10 shells that each cost 2 credits and weigh 0.1 kg.
