Ways to attack Jedi/Sith that blaster wielding foes don't seem to use that often
With two pistols, you could fire one high and one low at the same time.
With multiple soldiers, you could fire at the same time in different spaces instead of taking turns to fire.
You could use a shotgun that fires in a spread.
You could use automatic weapons.
Or possibly Jedi/Sith/other Force users have a counter to all of these.

Just throw away the blaster and grab an Ak-47 and the jedi is dead... No jedi would survive an assault rifle, especially if it's more then one wielder who is firing from a different direction due to overwhelming firing rate and unability do deflect the ammo back to the shooter.

just go dig up my old posts on the subject, twill provide all the answers you want. a jedi would last maybe an hour in the real world before he gets taken down. theyre too linear.
You're assuming a Jedi wouldn't adapt. They would though. Even the first few battles with the Yuuzhan Vong were lost until they figured out to adapt and counter.
Read up on "force shield" I have no doubts that if they concentrated their efforts on other defenses, a simple shotgun blast would be more laughable than a shot from a DL-44.
They had guns i.e. "slugthrowers" in Star Wars. They had them before they had blasters and such. Jedi awareness works a lot like the Matrix thing were they could avoid or just stop bullets in mid air. "The force exists between me and you. Between you and the rock, the tree, it flows through us and binds us." Or something like that hehe. So no guns aren't effective against Jedi. IMO
What do you mean by No? I just finished Outcast and Han uses slugthower types of weapons for the spiders on Kessel cus they absorb energy weapons. He even had a shotgun like weapon. Just wondering what ya meant?
how can he react if hes dead? the jedi wont survive the fist encounter. you act as if he'll get "beaten" and then be able to learn from his mistakes and fight again later. do you know whats going to happen when the jedi tries to defend himself for the first time from a shotgun blast or a flurrry of fully automatic gunfire and it doesnt work? hes going to die. there is no "adaptation".

Weapons such as the AK-47 would probably be uneffective. Most Jedi need a lightsaber to deflect an incoming blaster shot. They wouldn't need it to stop bullets. Bullets are usually metal projectiles. Emphasis on metal. The Force > metal projectiles. They can just stop them at midair, like Neo does in the Matrix. They can't do that with blaster fire.
I don't think a Jedi could outright stop a bullet in a Neo fashion, not unless they were particularly powerful... but they could make it miss quite easily. It's just not something we see particularly often in the Star Wars universe.
'Dangerous in numbers' works for multiple shooters, yeah. That's why Order 66 and the Battle of Geonosis went so poorly for Jedi. Aside from the element of surprise with Order 66, they're also taking fire from sooo many shooters.
This thread... I sense something. Something I've not felt since...
