Iskalonian stinger

An Iskalonian stinger, or just Stinger, is a fictional weapon featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It is part of the "Expanded Universe" and appeared in the first ongoing Star Wars title published by Marvel Comics. It was introduced in issue #74 of the series in a story titled "The Iskalon Effect". It was also seen in issue #76, "Artoo-Detoo to the Rescue".

Description
Despite its name, an Iskalonian stinger is a very powerful weapon. It is a two-handed laser rifle that emits a powerful blast of red energy. It is designed for use underwater and carries a heavier impact than a standard blaster. However, its force is greatly lessoned when used underwater. It is ideal for fending off undersea predators.

When Primor of the planet Iskalon took Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia deep-sea diving, he showed Luke how to use the Stinger with instructions to always keep his back to the capital city of Pavillion when firing it to avoid any mishaps. Primor demonstrated the weapons' effectiveness by blasting out the side of a grotto.

The Chuhkyvi warrior Kiro was later seen using a Stinger weapon to fight up against a deadly sea serpent known as a Chiaki.
