DESCRIPTION
A nod to the glory days of the Mandalorian Wars, this is the modern version of the ancient and famed Mandalorian Ripper. In the time of the Mandalorian Wars, this weapon was normally reserved for Mandalorian officers. Mandal Arms has produced it in hopes of providing the Mandalorians with a reliable short-range weapon. In the same fashion of a Bowcaster, the Ripper fires solid beskar slugs propelled by Tibanna gas. This Tibanna gas surrounds the slugs, causing the air around it to be superheated. This allows the ripper slugs to cause a great deal more kinetic damage than most conventional blasters.
