P8 Lamprey pistol

The P8 Lamprey was a blaster pistol model in use during the Galactic Civil War, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It received its unusual nickname for the vicious-looking end of the barrel, wide mouth, and long stylized sights that resembled fins. The pistol's projectiles released an acidic compound upon impact that was dangerous to both biological and mechanical entities. The schematic for the weapon was discovered by a group of spacers during the mission to retake the rogue Imperial Star Destroyer known as the Blackguard.
