Cycler rifle

Cycler rifles were the standard projectile weapon used by the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine in ranged combat. Varying in design, cycler rifles were often homemade creations or pieced together through scavenged starship wrecks, smelted metals, and other gathered refuse. A long-range weapon, cycler rifles made use of a limited Magnetic pulse accelerator to propel solid ammunition through the rifle's long and sturdy barrel, giving the weapon impressive range and stopping power. Ammunition was mainly limited to generic slugthrower rounds, though in rare cases tribes acquired explosive slugs, which when fired were enveloped in an energy sheath. The weapon emitted a unique sound when fired, rather like a cross between a blaster and a musket.
