Techno Tuesday #1: The Slabin Gas Pressure Gun

Have you ever heard of Slabin? If you've seen the Clone Wars Animated Series you probably do know what it is, you just aren't familiar with the name Slabin. Have you seen the episode Corruption in Season 3 of the Clone Wars? Slabin is a dilutant used for to increase the volume of an otherwise pure substance. During the Clone Wars, Slabin was used to increase the amount of tea that could be produced, therefore increasing profit. Slabin by itself isn't toxic, however, if the mixture is overdosed then it can be lethal. Using Slabin, we have designed a type of pressurized gun that will allow the user to shoot Slabin in gas form at the target.

Here's a rough drawing of what it would look like. It takes the shape of a modified DC-15A Blaster for Clone Troopers and we added a Slabin tank at the top of the blaster, and once fired it produces a short range slabin gas.

The pros of using this weapon would be to have stealth. It doesn't fire lasers, so it emits hardly any sound so it's almost impossible to have your enemy hear you.

The cons of this weapon would be the fact that it is short range, so you can't really shoot your enemy from a distance, unless the blaster laser wasn't entirely removed. Also, if you used this gun in the Old Republic, you would be fighting droids who wouldn't be affected by the gas. This would be more lethal to Clone or Stormtroopers. As Finn said, referencing Stormtroopers, "Their masks filter out smoke not toxins". Slabin would definitely mess some Stormtroopers up. Know a weapon designed for the Resistance? Let them know about this invention.
