The Adjudicator was a small palm-sized hold-out slugthrower pistol manufactured by Czerka Arms.[1]
Description[]
One of the few non-energy weapons commercially available in large quantities all over the galaxy,[1] it was used by civilians as a personal defence weapon.[4] The weapon was sold with a wrist clamp magnetic holstering lock; when triggered, the spring-activated rig would thrust the weapon into the user's hands, allowing for a quick and nasty surprise.[1]
The Adjudicator shared many attributes with hold-out blasters, such as its small size[3] and the ability to easily conceal it within a sleeve or pocket.[2] The pistol had a capacity of four shots,[1] but compensated for this with sheer stopping power. However, the Adjudicator was slow to reload, leading to many to use it as a back-up weapon.[3]
Variants[]
Alliance Adjudicator
A modified version of the Adjudicator was used by the Alliance Special Forces. Completely silenced and suitable for stealth missions, this variant of the stock Adjudicator was widely used by Alliance Infiltrators.The original wrist-mounted holster was removed, and the weapon was kept on a belt, wrist, or ankle holster - sans spring rig.[4]
