Ways to attack Jedi/Sith that blaster wielding foes don't seem to use that often

He's got a point. Star Wars physics take liberties with reality. Their tech. literally works on magic by our reckoning.

no need to throw names, b1tch. And no it doesn't. YouTube video USAF firing tracer rounds out of assault rifles. If you compare with the footage YouTube video, the difference in speed is actually not that great.

Rifles have greater velocities then pistols and again, rapid rates of fire, which allow for suppression fire. Given SW tech, it wouldn't surprise me if their slugthrowers put our guns to shame.
Don't give a shit, i'm comparing rifles to blasters, and they seem similar. Also, on occasion, there have been rapid-fire blasters.YouTube video 1:55 on, if you would.

The only advantage blasters have over bullets is that the "bolt" explodes on impact, which isn't really much of an advantage when a bullet will do the job just fine.
bull-pucky. The explosion will help with armor piercing, (bet your lead cant defeat durasteel) etc.

Also, jedi are supposed to move faster than the eye can see, what are a few fps going to do? Nothing.

I stand corrected. You win this argument.

Class act right there. takes balls to say that.

Yuuzhan Vong Thud Bugs

It's interesting to note, on some level, thud bugs were harder for less-powerful Jedi to dodge than blaster bolts, but not because of their speed or that they were like bullets, but more because they couldn't FEEL them due to Vongtech not being visible in the Force.

2 words: tactical

NUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

those wold all work on a non advanced jedi/sith with less than thrree lightsabers. put against grevoius u better have alot of blasters

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.

So no, AK-47 wouldn't do all that much more.

it depends on how u look at it a powerful jedi such as luke could slow them down enough to flik the out the sky

IED (Improvised Explosive Device)

Shove a Nuke/SW equivilant up their ass. Insignificant compared to the power of the Force my....ass.....

Master C'baoth stopped a missile in mid air. That means a bullet would probably meet the same fate.

Except, that doesn't make any sense at all.

Why doesn't it???

i would have to say, yes. Yes it does. Missiles are as fast as or faster than bullets, and of greater mass and more continuous thrust. If TK can stop a Missile in mid-air like neo, it can stop a bullet in mid-air like neo.

One bullet, yes, but a hail of them from an automatic rifle? That's pushing it. Especially if it's from multiple rifles.

Though to be fair to a Jedi, Obi-Wan did deflect blaster fire with the Force in the Clone Wars. Which as we all know is T-canon amirite? *highfive*

Its canon. And he also deflected Durge's automatic fire with his hand.

Yeah, f*ck it. Jedi can and have casually deflected projectiles and laser blasts.

CloneWars logic FTW.

CloneWarslogic for the canonicity.

y not use a reel gun! Those would move a helluva lot fastar and bee very hard to sea?
