This is something i've been wondering about for a while, bullets are smaller than a blast,possibly faster and our rifles usually shoot far more bullets per minute than your average blaster. So,what do you think? If Jedi existed in our world,would they be badass or would they be killed by 1 single soldier?

Pretty much all of this is false. Blaster bolts in the SW universe range anywhere from hypersonic, to even lightspeed. So they're faster than bullets, and the firing-per-minute speed is also logically going to be a lot greater.

That the bullets are smallers means, well, nothing.

So a Jedi would deflect bullets all day long without the need to look at them.

Bullets are made of copper, lightsabers would just cut them. I don't see how they can be deflected

The Lightsaber would destroy them, lmao.

Well, by deflect I mean the bullets just aren't getting past a Jedi's guard. A lightsaber burns/slices it in half.

That'd what I said...

Mace already did this with a hail of hypersonic slugs(bullets) coming at him, a random Jedi also blocked a shotgun blast at close range with a lightsaber and suffered no damage other than his lightsaber shutting off(the shot was Cortosis). Laranth Tarak(Jedi) was able to see and react to slugs coming and blasting them with her twin DL-44 blasters.

So yeah, Jedi can see and react to them and while they can't deflect slugs, they are vaporized instead....which makes sense given the cutting power of a lightsaber which cut through metal alloys like butter.

Most Jedi could probably stop them telekinetically.

yes

Yes, blasterbolts have far more energy then bullets, the o ly advantage the latter has that it's impact is greater because they have more weight.

Eh? Blaster bolts have more impact, we see them knocking people back, cause explosions and so on in the first movie alone.

They could easily use the force to deflect them. We see Obi-Wan do something like this in the OCW when battling Durge.
