Pipe Smoke Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 What would happen if you opened up on a Jedi with an uzi or something? we know that Jedi can deflect blasts from lasers easily enough... Would the bullets be simply too fast? if not too fast, would their saber even be able to block them? the best they could hope for I would think would be to melt the bullet, to disinigrate it with the blade... but might molten lead splash on them during this? If you just waved the machine gun of whatever kind around, an AK for instance... firing at them, I think the bullets would be too numerous and too fast for a Jedi to live against this. I think the Jedi are very lucky that everyone in their universe uses energy weapons. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi-Wan Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Well, I thinkthe bullets would do one of two things if they came in contact of a lightsaber. 1- They would melt and splatter their melted remains on the Jedi. 2- Although unlikely, but would be sweet, the bullets would vaporize. About the automatic weapons thing, i really dont think they would pose any sort of problem, as long as there are only a few of them being fired. The Jedi could just Force Speed his ace right on out of there, and/or Force Pull the guns away from the attackers. Those are just my 2 cents on the matter.

Jyt-Pon Dai'el Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I've always thought the same thing about molten bullets splashing a Jedi. Lets hope that's not the case. This is taken from the offical JKO website: Heavy Repeater This deadly and destructive projectile weapon fires a rapid stream of metal bullets, capable of covering an entire area with deadly suppressive fire. Primary fire discharges a rapid succession of bolts while the trigger is held and secondary fire launches a concussion explosive from an under the mounted barrel which throws enemies around causing extensive damage.

Rogue Nine Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I don't think that there would be any molten projectiles to worry about. The lightsaber is composed of pure energy and it can slice through basically anything. The bullets would simply vaporize. Eh...my .05 euros.

Locke101 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 They should be able to block them why? Look at the repeater in Jedi Knight, and you're able to delfect, am I right or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipe Smoke Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 But that gun shot little laser balls did it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I know this is all about the game physics but a laser blast would be as fast as the speed of light because well, it is light....focused light that is so bullets would be slower than a laser blast. I know the laser blasts on Star Wars, Star Trek (Phasers) seem slower but then it has to be entertaining ya know. I think it would completely disintegrate the bullet...that is light machinegun and machinegun types. The larger artillery shells would probably pose more of a problem but then we are talking about Jedi now aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS LASER BLASTS IN STAR WARS MOVIES They are blaster bolts. The rifles are called "laser rifles" because they utilize lasers in the firing mechanisms. THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T MOVE AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT As for bullets, wouldn't they be small and weak enough for Jedi to telekinetically block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I think what people are getting at here, is that they would not be deflected back at the person doing the firing, like blaster bolts. I doubt very much the bullets would survive their impact on the saber blade. The force idea is a nice one.. think Neo in "the Matrix" (he is THE ONE!). That would make the use of bullet based automatic weapons strategically safer to use against saber wielding opponents than blaster based ones... I would think though that (barring over-optmization in armor methods) they would have less penetrating power than blaster bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonix Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Jedi themselves probaply have no problems evading, or blocking/vaporizing bullets, because as some of you might know, Jedi's follow the will of the Force, and the will of the Force can control Jedi's, its bit strange, but it is. You see the Force has a stormtrooper firing a bullet (in this case a bullet) then the Jedi must block it, so he uses the Force, which in return tels the Jedi where to keep his lightsaber and helps him with that, so basicly the Jedi and Force are a symbiot, doh. thats kinda how i see it, but the bullets would vaporize.

Cracken Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 If you read Shadows of the Empire, when Luke is dogfighting near Gall, he's able to "slow" time, to a point where his reflexes appear insanely fast, i.e. "Matrix" (even though the book was written 2-3 years before the movie). Therefore, I would think that a Jedi could just slow time to the point where doging the bullets would be easy, using the Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracken Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Wait, one more thing: in the JO trailer, at :40 or so, Kyle actually deflects a stream of repeater bullets back at a Rodian in the Carbon freeze chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
