Flechette launchers are weapons in Star Wars that, unlike other weapons of that universe, use canisters and missles as ammunition. These canisters and missles would, upon firing of the weapon, would release hundreds of razor sharp flechetters at high speeds in a wide spread.
Anti-personelle flechette canisters are able to eliminate entire squads, and anti-vehicle variants also existed. Because of the wide spread of flechette weapons, they proved to be effective at shooting down airspeeders and repulsor craft that would normally be able to evade enemy fire.
