"Hmm. An energy weapon that looks like a slugthrower. I didn't think lizards were that nostalgic."

―RC-1138^[1]

TheAccelerated Charged Particle Array Gun, commonly known as theACP Array/Scatter Gun, was a short-rangeshotgun manufactured byArakyd Industries.

Description[]

"Shotguns? I didn't think anyone used projectile weapons anymore."

―RC-1138 first sees the ACP Array gun in use^[1]

The ACP gun was more suited for close quarters combat where extreme blast force was needed. Like all ACP weapons, the Array Gun was more effective against organic targets thandroids. The gun could hold up to eight cartridges at a time in its magazine, though more cartridges could be carried by the user, and required manual cocking to move the next round into the chamber.

The Array Gun was just as powerful as theACP Repeater as each particle in the ACP cartridge was the equivalent to one round from the ACP Repeater, although the latter gun had a higher rate of fire. As a result, the array gun performs poorly in open, long range combat, as several slow shots are required to kill an opponent at any great distance. However, in close quarters the array gun generally kills in one shot. According toAtin, member ofOmega Squad, this weapon dealt better withshields thanBlasTech E-Webs.

The gun had many similarities with theRawk chopped special blaster used byCade Skywalker andTyber Zann.
