The .48-caliber Enforcer pistol, commonly known as the Enforcer pistol or the .48 Enforcer, was a projectile weapon developed in limited quantities by the Morellian Weapons Conglomerate, only to be used by the Morellian Enforcers. It was not sold except in the black market, commonly over six thousand credits.

It was archaic when compared to a blaster, and required training to avoid allowing recoil to throw the pistol out of the user's hand after one shot. It only hosted eight shells at a time, and was difficult to shoot many times in rapid succession. However, it caused a surprisingly great amount of damage.

Scoutmaster Barosa Warren used one of those as his weapon of choice.

Behind the scenes

The Enforcer pistol may be based on the real world .44 Auto Mag pistol, which also hosts eight shells (in the .44 caliber pistol, which is most common) and has a strong recoil. The Auto Mag was featured in the Dirty Harry film series, the third part of which is entitled "The Enforcer".
