The ripper was an Old Republic weapon designed to bypass personal shields by dealing physical damage to targets. The ripper pistol fired a variety of oddly shaped pieces of shrapnel, similar to the flechette weapons later used during the Galactic Civil War. The ripper's irregularly shaped ammunition penetrated deep into the target's body, damaging it severely.
