The Vac Attack Mk-127 disc launcher, also known as the Vac Attack Mk-127 Concealable Disc Launcher, was a type of projectile launcher that was manufactured by Vacutech Combine, an arms manufacturer that had effectively gone bankrupt during the developmental stages of the Vac Attack launcher as a result of interference from the Galactic Empire. It could be worn in a similar manner to a chronometer, and fired bursts of small, extremely sharp discs that were capable of shredding through armor and flesh like a flechette. The weapon's spread could be adjusted so that it fired all loaded discs in a single line or in a broad arc that could catch multiple targets. And entirely silent and easily concealable, the Mk-127 was often used for jobs which required silence and stealth.[1]
