Atlatl

An atlatl was a one-handed Gungan throwing device consisting of a short stick of non-conductive hardwood with a cradle in one of its ends. It acted as an extension of the arm, enabling a booma to travel at a greater speed and force than possible with the unaided arm. It had optimal range of 30 meters, and a maximum range of 100 meters. It could also be used without an energy ball, as a blunt weapon.

The atlatls used by the Gungan Grand Army were carved from a naturally isolating wood by the Otoh Gunga Defense League.
