The FC-1 flechette launcher was an antipersonnel and antivehicle flechette launcher produced by Golan Arms.
The FC-1 fired a spray of metal flechettes that were effective at close range against soft targets. The weapon featured four canister tubes, each able to hold a single canister, with two reserve tubes. The FC-1 was capable of holding either antipersonnel canisters or eleven-centimeter-long antivehicle missiles with enough strength to rip through ten centimeters of durasteel. The flechette launcher had a secondary firing mode in which it fired two proximity grenades. It had an optimum range of 100 meters and a maximum range of 250 meters. Kyle Katarn was known to have used the FC-1 extensively in his career.
This weapon was used by the Imperial Remnant's stormtroopers. It was also widely used by the Corporate Sector Authority.
