The Mandalorian heavy repeater was employed by the Mandalorians, during the Mandalorian Wars at the time of the Old Republic, who believed that the only thing better than a big weapon was a fast firing one. Not designed for subtlety, these weapons were mainly used as a frontline weapon due to their very high firing rate combined with the firepower typical of all Mandalorian weapons. It is also known that Canderous Ordo wielded a personal heavy repeater which he had heavily customized to increase the firepower, the accuracy and the rate of fire.
