The FA-3 flechette launcher was a BlasTech flechette rifle that fired tiny shards of metal that were deadly in close quarters, capable of hitting many targets and ricocheting off surfaces. It was originally designed for the clone troopers to facilitate Order 66. The Imperial EVO troopers were known to carry them into battle. EVO trooper armor could absorb electrical discharges and redirect it to their FA-3 flechette launcher to produce a powerful stun blast.
