Concussion rifle
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Stouker concussion rifle was a type of concussion rifle.
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. Etain Tur-Mukan was also known to use a Trandoshan concussion rifle.
