Barrel-shrouds were a type of perforated weapon component that attached to the barrel of a weapon and provided air-cooling. The Britarro bounty hunter Nik Hepho carried an A310 rifle with a white barrel-shroud while he was on the moon Jedha in the year 1 BBY.[2]
Behind the scenes
A barrel-shroud first appeared as part of a prop in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which was released in North America on December 16, 2016. It was not identified in the film, but received a name in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and released on the same day.
