The Magnetic harpoons do no damage, but on each hit, they slow the target's movement by 25%. A Tangler carries fourteen harpoons that can easily be re-used (as long as the target doesn't get away with them)

The Tangler was a good deal less ambitious project than the Great Bear, and was a good deal more successful, especially among planetary law enforcement organizations (and bounty hunters). A Tangler is designed to intercept and capture fleeing speeders and atmospheric craft. Generally speaking, a Tangler will first attempt to slow the fleeing craft with a magnetic harpoon or two, then disable it with the Ion cannon, and finally reel it in with the tractor beam. If the opposing craft resists, the blaster cannons will usually be enough to silence them. Tanglers are often equipped with starfighter level sensor bank (passive: 1.0km/1D scan: 3.0km/2D search: 5.0km/3D focus: 200 meters/4D) to better allow them to find and track their targets. The sensor array costs an additional 2,000 credits.
