Shoulder-mounted armament

Shoulder-mounted armaments were a diverse style of weapon configurations utilizing shoulder and often back attachments that fired some form of over-the-shoulder weaponry intended to free the hands of the user. These armaments were generally autonomous, and sometimes had built-in blaster technology, while others allowed for the attachment and removal of external blaster pistols. The projectile types of these blasters could vary widely, with some firing lasers while others could even launch micro-missiles.

Mercenary Migs Mayfeld used a pseudocybernetic automated weapon mounting armor attachment equipped with a DT-12 heavy blaster pistol prior to and during the Bothan-Five incident in 9 ABY.Star Wars: Timelines That same year, two participants in the Hunters of the Outer Rim utilized shoulder-mounted weaponry as part of their kits.
