DESCRIPTION

This was originally created by Mirshko's Father, Arrbi Betna. The weapon is a length of beskar rods and links making up a metal whip. The bes'briik is made of a beskar and durasteel alloy and is made in an easy casting process, allowing the weapon to be mass produced but capable of the legendary strength of true beskar. The whip is about 1.5 meters long, but can be lengthened or shortened by the user with ease. The handle is a simple rod that can be customized with a buyer's preference and it has a pointed and sharp head at the whip's end. The head of the whip can be used for slashing or delivering penetrating hits and is easily coated in rubber (for training), chroming (for the more flashy Mandalorians), sharpened to a monomolecular point (not recommended nor sold by MH. This particular style will need a separate, unique submission by the buyer), or coated in poison (MH does not provide poison, nor do the Bes'briike come pre-poisoned). The weapon can easily wrap around an opponent's weapon or body, allowing them to be disarmed or entangled/tripped with relative ease. This also applies to lightsabers as the beskar iron is resistant, allowing the user to grapple and disarm even lightsabers, should they have the skill and training. The bes'briik is also capable of wide, sweeping movements and attacks, allowing the user to force back clusters of enemies and engage on their terms with the weapon. In a pinch, the weapon can be wrapped around the knuckles as an ad hoc knuckleduster or the sharp point can be used as a stabbing implement. In short, the weapon is highly useful and completely unorthodox, allowing the user to engage a single opponent or multiple ones as needed, making Betna's attempt... successful.



The disadvantages of the weapon are fairly simple. The weapon is hard to use and tricky to use effectively. It is not a devastating, brutal weapon outside of use in a master's hands (master of the bes'briik, not a Force master), and is primarily used as a leveling weapon, forcing your opponents to engage on your terms as you use your finesse, speed, and deflecting/disarming attacks to force your opponent around and away from you. Lastly, the weapon requires space around the user to use appropriately, making this weapon less than idea for its purpose in confined spaces.



*outside of a bes'briik master who is also a TK Force Master, this isn't going to deflect blaster bolts. Even then, you'd be lucky to do it more than once per thread, much less repeatedly. This is added simply because the weapon can be carried around the waist, tucked in a belt, around an arm, around the torso, etc. meaning a stray shot there can be stopped as it is beskar. Think of an amphistaff coiled around a Vong. That sort of thing. Only this one doesn't spit poison and won't nibble your ear if you don't pay attention to it for too long.
