The ball's outer layer broke on impact, releasing a plasma and electric shock that damaged the target. Atlatls were sometimes used as blunt force weapons.

The atlatl had a shorter range than other similar Gungan tools to throw energy balls, like the cesta, but it was much more precise and, being a one-handed weapon, allowed the warrior to hold an energy shield for protection in the other hand. In addition, atlatls could be used to fish. Militiagungs in the Gungan Grand Army were trained in the use of atlatl in the times before 32 BBY, even though the Gungans had spent many years without a war. When the Trade Federation threatened the Gungan civilization in 32 BBY, the Gungan Grand Army used atlatls and other traditional weapons in the Battle of Grassy Plains. Years later, Jango Fett used an atlatl to teach fishing skills to his child, Boba Fett.
