NT-242

The NT-242 was a sniper rifle model. A lot of people saw the NT-242 as a tank destroyer, and it ranked among the heaviest of longblasters. With its high power at long distances, the NT-242 could be altered to incorporate a disruptor shot, making it effective against vehicles. It also supported modifications such as a macroscope offering two levels of zoom, and a power cell that substantially increased the number of shots possible before needing to cool.

Grummgar, a Dowutin who worked as both a big game hunter and a mercenary, employed an NT-242 as his hunting rifle while engaged in the unlawful hunting of molsumes located on the planet Ithor. While talking with fellow hunter Nysorly, Grummgar used the rifle to shoot a molsume when the creature tried to attack Nysorly. In an ironic twist, Nysorly, unaware of the molsume's presence, responded by shooting Grummgar's speeder, almost causing his death.
