Tensor rifle

Amberlandrax Armaments' tensor rifle, often referred to as the Squib tensor rifle, was a weapon of Squib design that used tractor beam technology to generate damaging waves of tensor energy. The rifle fired an invisible yet noisy burst of compressed tractor beam waves; the constant barrage affected a biological target at the cellular level and eventually resulted in death. Variants of the tensor weapon used either power generators or standard power packs as an energy source. The device was small enough to fit in Squib hands, although it was difficult to aim and fire correctly without specialized skill.

The tensor rifle was available for sale in the galaxy during the time of both the Galactic Empire and the New Republic. Although retailers such as Galladinium Galactic Exports offered the weapon in their datalog, use of the tensor rifle was strictly regulated and even illegal in most jurisdictions. The weapon's rarity also curtailed its widespread adoption.
