The Merr-Sonn Trooper is a simple, realitvely unimaginative design, using the time honored pump-action method of placing fresh projectiles in the chamber. It uses a three round tubular magazine of 25mm grenades, which parallels the stubby barrel. Short enough to be fitted under the barrel of the E11/Stormtrooper 1 series of blaster rifles, these were origionally marketed to the Empire as a squad-level support weapon for Stormtroopers. So far, the orders of these weapons have been limited, with more going to the Army and Intelligence than anywhere else.
