6-2Aug2 hunting rifle
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The 6-2Aug2 hunting rifle was a slugthrower produced by Czerka Arms and used during the Galactic Civil War, commonly on backwater worlds in the Outer Rim Territories.
The 6-2Aug2 had an elongated barrel that allowed for precise, long-range shooting, making up for the lack of a laser targeting sight or scope. The 6-2Aug2 was known to be easy to repair and maintain. It was quite similar to the Tusken Cycler although more modern and with a faster rate of fire.
Luke Skywalker owned a 6-2Aug2 during his youth on Tatooine. He often used womp rats as target practice. The rifle was destroyed during a fight with the Tusken Raider URoRRoR'R'R in the Jundland Wastes prior to the destruction of Alderaan in 0 BBY
