The SX-21 pump-action scatter blaster, which can also be referred to as the SX-21 scatterblaster, or the SX-21 blaster rifle, was a scatter blaster rifle model featuring a pump-action mechanism. It was manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc., and it proved to be an extremely valuable asset for Imperial mudtroopers during the intense combat against the Mimbanese throughout the Mimban Campaign.

Following his escape from Imperial captivity, Chewbacca made use of an SX-21, employing the rifle as a short-term replacement for the bowcaster typically favored by Wookiees. Orbak Marauder mercenaries frequently wielded SX-21 scatter blasters while riding their Orbaks when in the service of both the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire.
