The BARM-ST12 scattergun was a type of pump-action scatter blaster.
The mercenary Lang owned a BARM-ST12 scattergun; during his battle with Ahsoka Tano he fired a blast of bolts at the Jedi but ultimately missed - by the time he had pumped his weapon for a followup shot, the Jedi was already aware of his presence.[2][4]
Behind the scenes
While blaster shotguns have existed in Star Wars Legends for many years, the scatterblaster was brought into wider canon onscreen in Chapter 13: The Jedi of The Mandalorian; very briefly, the character of Lang fires his BARM-ST12 scattergun at Ahsoka Tano while she is on a rooftop, revealing that his weapon fires 4-5 blaster bolts simultaneously. In the same scene, Lank cocks his weapon through pump-action.[4]
