@Nariata Just so you know, I changed my character's skills a bit; before she was a Jedi focused on dueling with lightsabers, but now that there are like 6 force users that are all focused on lightsaber dueling, I decided to focus her more on Force usage.. just so we have a bit more variety, and so we don't end up in a dueling spiral ;)

[since bullets go about twenty times the speed of blaster bolts, according to the internet]


Where did you read that at? Wookiepedia has no information on the difference of speed between slugthrowers and blasters.

Well, I am going off of the muzzle velocity of a modern rifle. I pulled the FAL as a baseline, and then I read this article: http://www.wired.com/2012/05/star-wars-blaster-speed/

of which the pertinent conclusion is: "...the ground base’s blaster shots. The average for these things is just 34.9 m/s (78 mph)". The muzzle velocity of an FAL shooting a median loaded round is somewhere around 830 meters per second, so 830/35= 23.71.

Predictions for future developments in firearms technology diverge on cartridge size and therefore muzzle velocity: there are predictions for much smaller, much faster rounds and larger, somewhat slower rounds. Star Wars would most likely have both varieties, or none, who knows [it is a past-future space-fantasy wonderland], but I figure current technology at least would be available.

Slugthrowers are pretty rubbish against armor [according to the wiki. I personally am skeptical but canon is canon] but force users tend not to use armor, and a bullet [especially a futuristic one] will fuck soft tissue's day up. I figure it would be super in flavor for a /k/ommando to have, seeing as it would play right into the common channer adoration of older firearms and the love to enthuse about corner-case weapons.

Regardless, I don't think I'll be swapping characters. If nothing else it would be too much work to redo a character sheet.

@Revans Exile Is it just me, or does Beast sound a little bit like a certain someone from Omega Squad in thew Republic commando novels?

Also @Eschatologist That is pretty interesting to note... I'm actually impressed you did research like that

Weapons are my jam, man. Also, creative ways to get around fiction's combat limitations. So, this is bascially catnip to me, figuring out how to use muh guns to kill jedi.

I know absolutely nothing about Omega Squad beyond the squad's name. Any similarities is pure coincidence.

The only clone commandos I am familiar with is Delta Squad and Gregor.
