Sith lanvarok

The Sith lanvarok was a wrist-mounted projectile launcher that could fire a volley of metal discs, usually in a small but unpredictable spray pattern, which made dodging or blocking the deadly projectiles very difficult. Due to the lanvarok's exceptionally long reload time, it was best used for delivering a one-shot surprise attack. To counter its lack of accuracy, a Sith could use the Force to guide the discs to their targets, turning the lanvarok into an incredibly deadly weapon.

Sith lanvaroks were typically designed to be exclusively right-handed or exclusively left-handed, the left-handed versions being based on the original lanvaroks of the Sith species. Most were constructed of durasteel, although rare versions did have a thin layer of cortosis armor to protect them from lightsaber attacks. Since the weapon could be worn on the forearm, the wielder's hands were free to clutch a lightsaber or other melee weapons. The lanvarok possessed a secondary trigger: a small nub that could be manipulated using the Force. A more primitive version of this weapon also existed, called Massassi lanvarok.
