Star Wars Weapons

True.

I can see there being some armoring on the fingers, but there would -have- to be an opening between the fingers. Otherwise, if it was totally finger armored, finger flexibility could be a b***h.

I was rather bored last night, and decided to use pimpmygun to make a Star Wars weapon. Using the SS Vintorez (one of my favorite rifles), I made something that looks a little like an EE-3.
Here is the "tactical" one with the grip. The olive green part would be the power pack housing. In this version, there isn't an olive green pack, or a grip.

Why aren't slugthrowers used more often? I think they're pretty darn effective. Assassinations (with the exception of bullet evidence), bypassing lightsabers, being nifty, etc.

They also usually have longer range then blasters... But carrying five-hundred shots in 5 power packs weighting around 1 pound is an advantage worth considering.

Wouldn't a lightsaber blade vaporize a bullet though, unless it was made of something like cortosis?  

[Sol Walker]

I dont think so, more likely it would melt the bullet but still repel it.  

[ElladanKenet]

Hmm. What if the lightsaber had a magnetic field? It could bounce them back, no?  

[Sol Walker]

I suppose, but I thought they had such a field already.  

[ElladanKenet]

That what I was thinking, because they need a magnetic field to contain the 'saber', as well as deflect blaster bolts

Technically speaking, it shouldn't be any more difficult to deflect slugs over blasters. The hardest thing is they're a lot less visible, so you can't rely on sight. And they can be silenced.  

[Sol Walker]

Basically the Star Wars Rule of Thumb goes that the Lightsaber can deflect bullets, arrows, stones, slasers, plasma bolts, Ion bolts, lightning, and pretty much anything that doesn't qualify as a vehicle weapon or artillery piece.

I love those giant wheeled tanks from episode 2. They are also my favorite vehicle in battlefront 2.
