Din's only been to a museum in passing -- collecting a bounty -- but there'd been some Mandalorians in his covert that had kept slugthrowers, guns that fired metal projectiles. They were seen as old-fashioned, and wasteful, but they worked great against Jedi and their lightsabers.
Still, as old-fashioned as they were, they were still powered by energy and made from high-tech materials. Not wood, like this one and some of the ones in town were made from, and powder.
"No. It needs electricity to work, and the aurora might have brought the electronics back online, but it is not... reliable," Din sighs. "My other weapons have fared much the same. Only the non-powered ones work faithfully."
Ironically, he supposes, the old wood and powder and iron guns now have the advantage over his own. They do not require electricity, and so, will work at any time. Din has a scavenged hunting rifle strapped to his back, a scavenged shotgun on the outside of his thigh, and a scavenged handgun on the other leg. He will need to study those slugthrowers more indepth.
"I am not familiar with the type of gun found here," Din admits. "They were ancient relics in my time."
