KiSteer 1284 projectile rifle/Legends

The KiSteer 1284 projectile rifle was a slugthrower used during the last decades of the Galactic Republic. The Clawdite assassin Zam Wesell was known to carry a KiSteer 1284.
==Description==
The KiSteer 1284 was a long-range rifle favored by bounty hunters since its projectiles did not leave a visible trail as with blaster weapons. However, the rifle could be configured to produce tracer fire if necessary. Although its penetration power was not great, the rifle's top-mounted optical scope made it highly accurate, and since it contained no powered machinery or minute sensor arrays, it could not be jammed. Also, the 1284 featured a cleaning rod, a recoil-dampening stock and an electromagnetic pulse barrel to shut down tracking devices. The rifle was also fitted with power amplification circuitry to increase its fire rate.
==History==
Zam Wesell began using her KiSteer 1284 on the advice of her associate Jango Fett, who believed she needed to augment and diversify her arsenal with a long-range weapon. Zam grew to admire the weapon, which she commonly kept in a secret compartment on the wing of her Koro-2 exodrive airspeeder. Zam outfitted her rifle with a Thermal/Optical-imaging scope that was configured to display targeting information in the same script as her electro-goggles.Philip Metschan's portfolio Her rifle was also equipped with power amplifier circuitry to increase the firing rate as well as a recoil-damping stock to account the increased power.
Following the second failed assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala, Zam used her rifle to destroy ASN-121 from a distance of twenty meters, in order to dislodge Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. Although the assassin droid was blown apart, Kenobi survived the fall as he landed in an airspeeder driven by his padawan, Anakin Skywalker.
