Whatever (ignoring the stabilizing properties of rifling), my point still stands, idiot.
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.
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.
bull-pucky. The explosion will help with armor piercing, (bet your lead cant defeat durasteel) etc.
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.
Also, jedi are supposed to move faster than the eye can see, what are a few fps going to do? Nothing.

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.

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.
