Concussion rifle

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Concussion rifles were a type of ranged weapon that fired a compressed capsule of ionized air towards a target, creating a powerful shock wave upon contact.

One notable model was the Stouker concussion rifle, a weapon used extensively by the Trandoshan Sissk gang. Concussion rifles were also used by Trandoshan mercenaries during the Clone Wars and by the droid bounty hunter 4-LOM at several points during his career. The technology was hard to grasp, making the weapon rare and hard to get one's hands on.

Kyle Katarn used this weapon occasionally.
