Star Wars Weapons

Yeah you've told me that before.

When they blasted the Sandcrawler in episode 4 Obi-Wan said it was "too accurate" for pirates or whoever. So that's what would prove to me the E-11 was good.

Jaden, I agree on the LJ-50's but the LS-150 is too heavy. Maybe a mounted machine gun to blast wookiees and LJ-50's for auxiliary.

The sandtroopers were toting mostly longarms on Tatooine if you recall. You dont use e-11's to gun down a giant mining machine. That requires you to get close to it.
They basically just shot the hell out of it with the Star Wars equivalent of the 50 Cal Sniper Rifle: the DLT-19

I thought they actually called in TIE bombers, but that's just from a fan video which was quite funny.

DLT-19 rocks my world, I use it in a lot of RP's, but, it's not so great looking. Add a nice scope and I'll feel like another school boy. Or something.  

[Sayla-girl]

Which is more powerful? the DLT-19 or the DLT-20?  

[Nelowulf]

Never heard of the 20, but i'm no weapons expert on fantasy arms.  

[Besuliik Deakin]

I would say the 19, it's a heavy blaster rifle. It was modded for a sniper rifle too, so that's pretty good lol.

Wouldn't the "20" be a more advanced model? maybe better handling, less kickback, whatever it may be?  

[Besuliik Deakin]

Yeah I would think so too, but I'm going with the 19 because it's a heavy. Takes down speeders and such, so it's possibly stronger. I think the 20A is just a lighter and better handled rifle. Because the 19 does take longer to load and assemble. But if you think about it, subtracting the negative sides on the 19 (like the assembly and loading) also has to subtract the positive thing (like the power). I bet the main problems led up to the high power. Most weapons do.  

[Rendin Verta]

Although, I must say, DLT-19s do make a good transition from world war II era German machine gun to high powered stromtrooper rifle kit.  

[Besuliik Deakin]

Oh God, ooh-rah to that. MG34 squeezed 900 RPM. That's impressive. Thing is, it was recoil operated XP Gas operated is great.

Do blasters fire plasma, or what? I'm confused between tibanna and what comes out. Never understood them to the fullest.  

[Rendin Verta]

concentrated heat, I believe.

It's the Star Wars equivalant to Hydrogen

Basically, it's a gas, that for some reason, becomes incredibly active when ligh passes through it.

Blasters: By tightly packing tibanna molecules, and then shining a laser light through them, the energy given off by the gas multiplies the power of the laser, creating a bolt of energy that causes damage

Hyperdrive Coolant: By not packing the tibanna, the gas can be used as a coolant agent in hyperdrives. It's what keeps the engines from overheating while you're travelling 20 times the speed of light.  

[Rendin Verta]

Aaah. That would explain it  

[Jaden_Ordo]

I really don't understand the use of swords in the SW galaxy, when Vibroweapons and lightsabers exist. Swords seem... irrelevant.

I mean, I believe in their use, but that's my custom. To a normal Coruscanti, the use of a sword would be pointless and foolish.  

[lady_skuld]

vibroswords can't be made of cortosis? I dunno. maybe some rich retard wants to look like the next treize kushrenada.  

[Jaden_Ordo]

Then I hope the idiot dies like he deserves.
