The Remington XP-100 (from eXperimental Pistol number 100) is a bolt-action pistol produced by Remington Arms from 1963 to 1998.
In 1979, XP-100 pistols and Remington Model 600 rifles were recalled because of a safety issue. The bolt was fully locked when the safety was on, making it impossible to unload the gun with the safety on. Remington made a free modification available that allowed the bolt to open while the gun was on safe, allowing it to be unloaded while the gun was still on safe.

Yo this gun is from Star Wars, don’t lie to me.
I just checked the only movie or show IMFDB has it recorded as being in is Dawn of the Dead. But it’d be a great start to a Star Wars prop.
What are the benefits of this design?
You’re instantly the cooler guy out of all your gun enthusiast friends.
It being a bull pup gives it better balance. Otherwise it’d be front heavy. It’s a bolt action pistol because it was made for for hunting varmints and competitive handgun shooting.
Looks like inspiration for the Naboo S-5 Heavy Blaster
That is at once fucking gorgeous and the most sci-fi thing I’ve ever seen.
