Obi-wan I have the high ground
Anakin: "pulls out Glock"
*parry this you casual*
JJ ツ he would be able
Even in the legends and Canon stories jedis augment all their senses and abilities they can react and move at the speed of sound and even thought that sometimes not a lot of bullets today travel around about the speed of sound so a Jedi can most definitely block and dodge current bullets
And considering that laser weapons I just as fast or even faster than our current weapons until that the jedis are dodging them it's just that they are radiated by light where the bullets are not smaller when they come out and it's almost impossible for the Iman I to pick up on the bullets coming at you and but if you have the force you're most likely can

When the Jedi first attacked Mandalore, the Mandalorians used blasters until they realized that the Jedi kept reflecting the bolts back at the shooter. They swapped to the Star Wars equivalent of a firearm and fought the Jedi with those.

Just remember, in the age of blaster, energy weapons and disruptor weaponry some people still opted to use slug throwers. And also the part where the tusken raider casually sniped a 700km/h pod racer using a slugthrower. Firearms always have a niche up their sleeve.
Those people were poor and no other option. It's an outdated form of weaponry.
@@ranfan1820 outdated doesn’t necessarily mean ineffective.
@@cardinalchaos2278 nukes are pretty old
and boy are they effective
One word: silencers. Nobody will notice you sniping someone with a rifle with a silencer with muzzle suppression or. But every being with eyes will see that nice red/green/blue blaster bolt fly and hear the pew pew
Just imagine a thousand years from now, Archeologists discovers the ancient Glock, M9, M4, and whatever else in the graves and wondered what it did.
They'll probably have guns by then, they have already been around for 500 years and guns are already probably as far as weapons can evolve, I mean there's railguns and laser guns but those are still guns. Plus we still have swords and stuff.
They would have to be brain dead to not know what it might be for. Granted I hope any futuristic society uses melee weapons with projectile throwers built in......
*cough*

Will probably catch hell for mixing franchises like this but...
Col. Jack O'Neill: "This," (tosses aside a Jaffa staff blaster) "is a weapon of terror. It is designed to intimidate your enemy. This," (holds up a P90) "is a weapon of war. It is designed to kill your enemy."
Why? It's a good example.
Besides, even Teal'c sees the light after a while and start using two P90's.
Every time I think about the effectiveness of typical futuristic sci-fi weapons, I think of that scene. It's brilliant, but simple.
Very good example...i love how those fancy dudes in their shiny armors and boomsticks who think they are superior are mostly cannon food for SG1 in fights 😅
The blasters, both in Star Wars and SG1, do have one advantage; battle endurance. They mentioned this in the SG1 episode I referenced. Earth weapons need to be reloaded pretty frequently compared to energy weapons. Alan touches on this in this video.
fraggenaught is right, this is also touched on in the deahworlder series on HFY. energy weapons are a logistical boon for major military forces due to the fact that a single solider can carry far more ammo with far less weight then someone with a regular firearm. this eases up pressure on supply lines and allows for a faster overall force as your infantry wont be weighed down as much. on an individual level the slug thrower is a far superior weapon system and is personaly what i would carry, however if i was arming a force of platoon size or greater it would be blasters all the way.

Regarding Stormtrooper armour: Does this mean that most Stormtroopers we see get shot & fall down really aren't dead, just stunned? 💀
If lore holds true for their armor yes. Would also explain why they never seem to run out of stormtroopers. Since injuries seem a minor matter in light of the Star Wars Universe's medical technology.
@Jerrol Hale Just because the armour itself is damaged does not mean the person wearing it is. For example many modern day plate carriers suffer catastrophic damage after taking a few rounds. Yet the soldiers wearing them often suffer little more than bruising and or cracked bones. Painful certainty but not lethal in the slightest.
Yes
If that were the case, the rebels would really be fucking morons
meinefressekeineahnung wieichdenkackkanalnennensoll
Not really, assuming you mean that the rebels intend to kill the stormtroopers. Most rebel troops were simple people, not hardened killers, and not having to deal with another’s death is an easy choice. If anything, knowing that your enemy is likely to not kill you would make the average stormtrooper go easy on the average rebel (we all know about their infamous aim) which is a plus for the rebel side who can’t necessarily afford proper armor.
"How does stormtrooper armor work?"
"It doesn't."
Imagine a Droidica rolling up and revealing two Vulcan miniguns loaded with .50 AP rounds.
Even obi-wan wouldn't survive it
The Vulcan is chambered in 20mm not .50 BMG.
I imagine the OP meant GAU-19. Those are the ones that use .50 calibre. But I understand that for laymen, Vulcan guns are just a catch-all for any type of rotary gun rather than specifically the M61 Vulcan.

pretty sure bullets are made of lead and copper and would not be shooting black powder
@@rioyr6210 They're made out of lots of different things. lead and copper is very common for civilian use, but steel casing is much more common in military use.
Other than that there is also more specialised bullets made out of different combinations in different ways, from polymer casings and/or cores, to lead-steel cores with a copper jackets, hell, some are even multiple pieces of various metals encased in a plastic shell. Some of the more weird bullets don't even have a proper casing.
In short, bullets are made out of lots of things, but they don't use black powder anymore
watch a jedi try to deflect all the buck shot from a 12 ga shot gun.
caatabatic, actually "shatter gun pellets" were an issue for them in Legends.
I haven't seen it yet, thanks.
The Jedi can just use the force to stop the bullets.
+The Last Outcast Same with blaster bolts.... But how many jedi actually fucking use their force powers in combat other than to throw shit. Also, force powers take immense concentration. Even your slowest buckshot is still going 900 fps+ I doubt at close range a jedi would do terribly well against a shotgun.
Which is why they would simply pull the weapon from their hand using the force.
In the mandalorian wars the Mandos found out that the Jedi found deflecting blaster bolts as “fun lightsaber practice” so the mandos used “slug throwers” (aka regular guns) because if a Jedi tried to deflect a bullet they’d get a bunch of shrapnel in their face blinding them while allowing other mandos to shoot and kill them
Also bullets would go through light sabers even if it hit them, it might melt but still jedi have little armor so it would be devastating to get hit by the molten bullet.
All the more reason to use explosive rounds :D
Molten rain from an ak
that depends on the era with the armor, but in general yeah.
the grey, dark jedi, sith empire and other non jedi force users had a habit of wearing various levels of armor.
One word from a heartless with, hollow points!
No it wouldn't lol. A bullet from our world would just be completely vaporized with nothing going through. Slugthrowers are made of more durable materials than our bullets. In fact, an average Slugthrower is as powerful as a .50 Cal.
This is exactly why a Warhammer 40k space marine bolter is way superior than any blaster. Why chose a puny plasma gun when you can fire .75 caliber, diamond tipped, armor piercing, explosive rounds.
World Man except their plasma weapons are pretty much the equivalent of firing a mini sun and with the users having a life expectancy you'd expect of using such a weapon.
*.90 caliber
or so I've heard
The high ground it’s actually a adamantium tip for Armour piercing
@The high ground
better penetration characteristics because of increased hardness? that wouldn't work, because the density of diamond is three times lower than that of lead and six times lower than those of tungsten and DU. on top of that, diamond is very brittle, so i would assume it would be prone to shattering either upon impact or upon firing.
@@eyeballpapercut4400 it's ,75.
Imagine how confused Jedi would be if modern Earth soldiers showed up with modern firearms and just destroying anyone in ground combat.
They wouldn't help in a fight against force users and most Storm and army Troopers.
lancer737 why pal? 🤔
TO make sure the Jedis are VERY DUMB when thinking firearms are obsolete!
That's wrong. Just like the whole if magic was real idea you aren't stopping a 2000 pound JDAM from over 30,000 feet. You wouldn't even know it was coming and by the time you heard it you would find there is nothing you could do to stop it.
The tactics used by star wars factions either empire or rebels are horribly outclassed by modern combat tactics. It would be a pretty open and shut battle. Look at the clone wars. Thousands of men charging in a massive line formation into the opposing forces. They would be wiped out by modern day fixed position defenses on a scale like that.
Fiction was ment to look flashy and amazing
Reality was ment to do what it needs to do, it needs to be effective fast and cheap, If it's not nobody uses it and it never gets improvements and therefore is forgotten
Hollow points are designed to mushroom upon impact and prevent over penetration. They typically create a larger wound as they go, but are less effective against soft and hard body armors
This just answer why Luke was like a sniper of the Star Wars universe. He was shooting real guns as a kid while everyone else was mostly using slow blasters.
We need a canon movie where a platoon of U.S. Marines runs into the Empire or the First Order.

Actually in one of the comics a anakin and obione went to a planet that used weapons like ours and when bullets hit their lights sabers they sent molten metal flying at the jedi
Some obscure star wars comic i presume.
@@Razor-gx2dq no its canon
@Jakonate it's one of the prequel comics
That's why you want armour.
Did the comic show how efficient the guns would be against droids? (I think they would go outdated the moment a droid army is introduced)
You missed the fact that firearms can be used for indirect fire. You calculate the drop of your projectiles, spread and then use a machinegun/section of machineguns to rain down a cone of death on a designated map coordinate. Much like artillery you can destroy or deny the enemy without committing your own troops to potential losses.
The most terrifying thing is that by this stage the bullets are traveling so slow they do not make a noise. So suddenly people just start dying.

Master Skywalker there's too many of them what we gonna do?
Anakin:pull out a tommy gun*
Detonite (explosive used in thermal detonators)-tipped slugs (“Jedi Killer” rounds). Jedi swings to deflect slug, lightsaber triggers the detonite... BOOM goes the Jedi
In Legends at least, grenades are often considered a good choice as a “Jedi killer” weapon. (Or pray on their pacifistic self sacrificing behavior. Threaten innocents or their allies and they’ll perform very convenient self sacrifices!)
which would work only as surprise tactic or on very low level jedi ... anyone above Padawan will just throw anything explosive coming theyr way back in your face
@@Asghaad Because they do that all the time.
@@cmdr_kai2492 They do that....in games. I remember when in Jedi Outcast, you fought a Sith without any force power and every projectile, missiles, grenade, shrapnel and bolt just push back to you by the force. It was an unwinnable battle.
ForMan Kind Incoming nerd shit because this and academy were two of the small handful of games I had growing up.
The Bryar Pistol is shit, wouldn’t work against Jedi with either fire mode. I missed it when Academy came out :(
The E-11 if you use the alt fire can actually spray down a reborn pretty well. He’ll deflect some shots, but a lot will get through.
The Disruptor (Sniper) Rifle seems good, but those fuckin Jedi just matrix dodge it. You can do the same though by holding the use key and inputting a movement direction.
The Imperial Repeater (big fuckin machine gun) wont hit anything with those projectiles because what actually manages to hit the target is deflected in groups, but the alt fire will wreck a fool because they can’t block or push it back.
The DEMP (weird electric gun) can hit Jedi with the alt fire since they get caught in the zap radius.
The Golan Arms Flechette rifle is insane. Don’t use the secondary fire unless you have high ground, but the regular shot will do decent chip damage because they can’t block every flechette. I’ve been one shot with it before
Fuck the rocket launcher.
And yeah basically all the grenades are useless. They’ll push TD’s back at you, push trip mines to activate them, and push det packs to detonate them.

Jedi: can deflect blaster bolts

only reason blasters are slow is for the audience to see the shot. I think that in reality the blaster would have no recoil and hit the target the same instant you pull the trigger, and you could probably charge it the wall socket.

@@lilpuro2152 most armor is made out of plastic like material that helps absorb blaster bolts, unless they’re wearing mandalorian armor the bullet should shatter there armor
Modern armor isn’t Kevlar, but is actually ceramic composites layered over steel plates. Also there are ways of making Kevlar low velocity puncture proof
That ceramic would actually make modern body armor blaster proof, too. Have you seen the heat tolerances of that stuff?
What you described as bulletproof vests is soft armor. Modern bullet proof plates worn for stopping rifle rounds. A crossbow won't be able to get through a sapi plate or ar500 plates. Modern armor is a little better than just kevlar.
Might catch some spalling from the arrowhead but yeah it's not getting through.
@@natesmith2408 I don't think it would spall man
It all depends on the theater. If you're a cop, you're most likely to encounter handgun fire, so Kevlar is appropriate. If you're a soldier in a theater of war, rifle rounds are your biggest concern, so you'd go with plate armor. It's not likely you'd use ar500 plates, though. They are far too heavy. Modern soldiers wear ceramic plates that will dissipate the bullets energy and stop the round. They shatter upon impact though, so need to be replaced once they've been hit.
Yeah, good luck with that, buddy.
The only reason why a cross bolt would get through Kevlar is because it slipped through not because it can cut the fibers of the vest.
If there was something in the Kevlar to stop it from slipping through the "cracks".
Why is the Ki adi mundi getting Shot by Real guns montage so satisfying
I just find it hilarious
Fot67 US marines are the second most powerful warriors in the world, after gamers of course
Its actually hilarious to think that if the seperatists just made one line of our primitive guns they would've ended the war in a few days, troopers wouldn't have been able to see where they were getting shot from for the first time and jedi would have been useless
Troopers would be able to see where they were being shot at from though. Especially at night. Remember, even with a flash hider, muzzle flash is quite common and inevitable with conventional firearms.
Also, in closer combat engagements with a bunch of 3 dimensional obsticles in the way, like the fungal forests of Felucia, or the skyscrapers of Christophsis, there are fewer places to get a good vantage point, or firing angle. Which means less area to scan for hostile targets. Similar to what modern US troops had to do in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Truthfully I think the only advantages a modern firearm would give you in Star Wars is relatively cheap ammunition and the ability to kill Jedi and Sith faster and easier than a blaster.
@@williamthehuntsman So it’s less obvious than a blaster plus it’s way faster than 75 miles per hour. And for Close range use a assault rifle a full auto matic weapon rather than semi.
Seperatist: Get Terra here, NOW!
There's actually a very similar situation to this in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Because energy weapons have become so useless against modern mobile suit armor, all of the mobile suits just use old-fashioned oversized firearms so they can actually damage mobile suit armor, and the scariest projectiles in the series are actually super-hard railgun rounds.

Most military armor includes a ceramic or steel trauma plate that can stop rounds that Kevlar can't alone. These would also be effective against most ancient weapons. If you get hit in the face with a warhammer however, you will still experience a significant emotional event. Remember kids, going head to head with a warhammer, the hammer ALWAYS wins!!!!

Contrary. Kevlar is great and all, but it’s the ceramic plating that affords the most protection.
Starcloak Starside As someone who wears and uses both soft and hard body armor, it’s pretty hilarious to read some of the debates here. It’s almost as if people like to argue more than they like to actually know stuff. 😂
@@DemoDick1Right on, sometimes being in the army just ruins watching Science Fiction movies, reading reddit threads and listening misinformed youtubers. Reading it in a book and having hands on experience, spending a couple years wearing it downrange is a totally different story. It's still entertaining stuff though
Sgt. Rock to make sure I’m right-ish. Generally, it’s a Kevlar weave plate carrier that has Kevlar to slow or catch the round initially, followed by a steel layer to block the round. If the first two layers fail, there’s a second layer of Kevlar. At least with IBA or common player carriers. Am I super off base or somewhat close?
@@reverencerx873 military plates are usually ceramic, steel is cheaper but much heavier for the same protection, also the ballistic layer of kevlar is always behind the plate, the outer cover of the carrier is not ballistic material usually just a nylon cover.

The XM-25 was an experimental grenade launcher. It did have an integrated 5.56,but what you were talking about was a grenade launcher.
In the Canon comic Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin, a bunch of primitive scavengers open fire at Obi-Wan with their slugthrowers. Obi-Wan manages to deflect the bullets with his lightsaber, but the blade causes them to melt and spray molten metal all over him. So even a Jedi's bolt deflection ability is rather ineffective against firearms.
@The high ground But in episode 7 we can see how that nephew (?) of Anakin uses the force to stop a blaster bolt mid flight.
@The high ground That stopping projectiles is possible for blasters as well. So the point that Obi-wan could just stop a bullet is mood, as he could just stop a blaster. Seeing how almost nobody stopped the much slower moving blaster, I can't imagine them stopping an even faster moving bullet.
@@Maddinhpws You need quite a lot of focus to stop projectiles. In a fight it is much easier to dodge or repel blaster fire with a lightsaber or for a more powerful jedi, with your hand. Vader used his hand the deflect blaster bolts after all. It wont be such a surprise if he can stop bullets mid air with a stronger or equal force push. For bullets, outside forces are much more of a factor than for a plasma bolt.
Maybe the lightsaber would just vaporize the bullet?
I'll save you 11minutes of your time:
-Bullets are Ten times faster
-They can't be deflected with lighsabers
The slugs might melt if they touch the "lightsaber", but then, any bullets that still have momentum and still going towards the force-user, might melt and burn on their skin.
Also guns are more durable, ammunition need fewer materials to manufacture, and a gun is safer for the user.
Andres Mcguire-Buckley unless the bullets disintegrate upon contact. Lol
So this is completely false. There’s a certain munition that the US military uses that shoots molten copper slugs from a bomb to destroy tanks. Like modern first world military tanks. So unless the lightsaber could completely vaporize all incoming rounds, that molten slag will still be traveling at deadly velocities and rip molten holes through the target..
Even then, the way bullets parabolic rotation makes them less accurate at range not to mention shear volume of fire, even in semi automatics. What if you had 2 guys with M-16s from 45 degree difference in firing angle, mag dump on one jedi? He’s toast!
Think about it, one well made EMP could disable almost a whole army or navy in Star Wars because of the reliance on Energy based weapons. Both in space and ground battles if you are using firearms or artillery you don't worry about that as well as get all the benefits mentioned in the video. the book DUNE also points this out.
Yep, dune is so advanced something melee combat is viable again. It’s like Necron ships in 40k not using shields because they’re used to weapons so high tech that shields would just be redundant, so when humans basically „throw rocks“ at them(torpedoes,cannons) the lack of shields just allows these weapons to be hella effective.

You do relize the most of the places we visit in star wars aren`t the safest places in the universe.
there was blaster control...Hans blaster was big time illegal
Commander Knight Of course. There’s crime, poverty, gang affiliation and slavery going about the Galaxy. One of the most safest planets I know so far is Endor and it’s filled with innocent Ewok tribes.
Could you really blame them most of the galaxy isn't under a central power. The galaxy as a whole can't go five years with out an intergalactic war. And crime syndicates have way to much power.
I think that depends on the planet. Many of the planets we see in star wars are very dangerous places and many of them don't even have a stabile government. This results in a pretty wild west like culture.
But if you'd go to more civilized places like canto bite, naboo or the higher levels of coruscant, you probably wouldn't find many people with blasters.

Well when you look at the slugthrowers available in Star Wars, legends included... Good lord they are so far behind our own, especially when it comes to capacity and range.
I'd guess that most SW firearms are essentially hand crafted zip guns using home made ammo.
If projectile weapon technology either never got developed as far in the first place or atrophied after the development of the blaster that would kinda make sense. We have gotten very, very good at designing firearms because they're our only real option.
The1stImmortal basically the latter reason, it's been such a long time for the Star Wars universe that any major faction used a slugthrower that they're pretty much forgotten to have existed by most citizens and even military powers. Literally the most frequent users are primitive species like the Tusken Raiders and they seem to build theirs out of scrap rather than have dedicated industry creating them.
The reason why slug throwers never had much development beyond what they are is mainly because of the ancient Rakatan Infinite Empire, who enslaved all the alien species they came in contact with, including humans. They were the first to invent the hyperdrive, starships, blasters, pretty much all the base technologies of the Star Wars universe. Those trillions of human and alien slaves? They took their masters creations and turned it against them when the Rakatans also lost their force sensitivity which weakened them greatly (their tech was mostly based from the dark side of the force). Kinda easy to skip past guns when you can steal incredibly advanced tech that's already made for you.
The tusken raider slugger is pretty much based on the Afghan Jezail, by the way...
4:47 considering that lightsabers dont melt everything around them when theyre activated, theyre cool enough that they wouldnt have the time to vaporize the bullet. At best the round would get melted if its a lead core bullet, which could improve armor performance against the bullet. But any steel core bullet would just go right through with maybe the copper jacket getting heated up significantly.

When it comes to real life guns I find myself really admiring the Steyr AUG. Its versatile and modular, its reliable, alot of the parts could be 3D printed because of how it was made, the bullpup design means you can acquire targets quickly and stay on target for longer without getting tired, there is evidently very little recoil, you can instantly switch barrels without needing any tools out in the field, the simplistic design makes cleaning easy, the proprietary magazines last longer than STANAG mags (but you can still use M4/AR15 ones with the NATO stock), the short stroke gas piston means it handles heat better than an M4 AND its adjustable so you can still fire it with low quality ammo without it jamming, the bullpup layout also means you can fit a long barrel in a small space, and imo it just looks awesome.
The downsides are its expensive, parts arent impossible to get but still not as easy to get as for an AR15/M16, some people just hate bullpups for various reasons, and the stock trigger is about 9lbs so not great.
Ok, though I prefer more modern bullpup assault rifles like the Tavor.

The science shows the best weapon against a Jedi is either a slug thrower or a blaster that can switch between positively and negatively ionized gases
Science has show, the best weapons to use at Jedi/ Sith when able to locate at a personal safe distance is...
Orbital missile fire, a few 10's of thousand dead civilians and the destruction of a few square kilometers of city landscape is a small price to pay to kill a Sith.
Except that the science is wrong, slug throwers are not better than blasters against Jedi as the premises on which that argument is based are nonsense. Blaster bolts aren't slow, and lightsabres can deflect slug throwers. The blaster than can switch between positive and negative charges argument is also nonsense as it shows that the person who came up with it has no understanding of lightsabres.
Lightsabres are more of a mystical weapon than a technological one, and their ability to deflect blaster bolts has nothing to do with the technological parts and everything to do with the mystical elements. Hence why some of the precursors to lightsabres, such as the swords (and other close combat weapons) made by the ancient Je'Daii and the Sith Alchemical swords (which have no technological components) can also deflect blaster bolts.

"Bullets are impossible to dodge"
Payday 2 players: **Laughs in dodge build**
I’m late, but I can explain what’d happen to a bullet on contact with a lightsaber!
The tip of the bullet would sublimate (solid -> gas) due to the heat of the lightsaber, but this would happen nearly instantly, causing a small layer of vapor formed by the rapid melting and evaporation. This is the Leidenfrost effect, caused by the substance (the metal) being instantly flashed into vapor. Said vapor would slightly alter the course of the bullet, turning it so that it passes through the lightsaber mostly intact and flies off somewhat randomly. It would still hit almost as hard as a normal bullet, and wouldn’t fly too far off course. It would still keep heading towards the Jedi’s side of the battlefield, that’s for sure.
Who would win? Highly advanced weapons, designed for war, shooting blaster bolts which can burn through most things; A barrel with a trigger and a grip which basically shoots metal.
Guns are highly advanced weapons designed for war -_- a blaster is an over powered flash light with no advantage when compared to a firearm. It's actually lacking in most areas. I cant think of a single reason why any ACTUAL military would adopt a blaster for general infantry. It'd be better on vehicles and even then, all you did was overheat the enemies vehicle, you probably didnt kill its crew. You know what can be replaced? Vehicles. Know what's way harder to replace? Skilled, well trained crews meant to operate said vehicle. The germans learned that with the luftwaffe.
@@DomR1997 and here come the people who take "who would win" seriously
But have you seen the inner workings of guns dude?
They're marvels of engineering compacted into a hand-held killing device
All the bits and pieces doing exactly what they need to do, and anything without purpose or is a liability is tossed out
Working together to launch a fast moving projectile with the intent to disable an opponent
the big thing for blasters, i think, is ammo capacity (it takes up less space per "shot" and can be any shape you want) and logistics. When supplying rifles, pistols, artillery, autocannons, etc, you just need to buy tibanna gas in bulk instead of needing specific ammunition. And all that ammunition has to be thrown out if you change gun calibers
@@DomR1997 Buddy I don't think you know what a blaster bolt can do to someone do you? Go do some research on what a blaster bolts dose and come back, but this time don't be so narcissistic about it, try to be respectable about your arguments.
Counter argument:
Using a projectile based weapon, even a fully automatic heavy machine gun, against an experienced force user may essentially be suicide if they are aware of your presence (and they usually are). They might not be able to absorb, deflect, or even reflect the the ammunition back with a saber at you like they do with blaster bolts, but Jedi and Sith alike have proven to have extraordinary telekinetic command over any physical object large or small. If you were to fire an entire box of ammo directly at a Jedi I don't see why they couldn't essentially raise their hand, use their force power to place a stasis field in front of them of sorts, and do pretty much exactly what Neo did in the end of The Matrix by just... holding all the bullets in place in mid-air until you're done firing, then potentially using a force push to throw all those projectiles back at you in equal terminal velocity all at once like the world's largest shotgun blast.
A note about armor and materials in the start wars universe as well: Star Wars does take place in a Galaxy "far far away" which means all the metals and materials you are seeing everyone use are not metals or materials comparable to what WE have available on OUR planet. Things like copper, aluminium, or even iron might not exist in the same way in the Star Wars galaxy as it does ours, and the materials that DO exist that would be used in a similar manner may in fact have some very different properties than anything we might be familiar with. Heavy alloys like Durasteel are what a majority of armors and infrastructure are made of in the Star Wars universe, as well as even more advanced materials like Bescar in Mandalorian armor or cortosis-weaves that allow extreme resilience to energy and heat. These materials and alloys, even the non-metallic elements like Plasteel (which Darth Vader's helmet is made of), are highly advanced beyond much of our technological understanding and inevitably may hold up just as well against projectile weapons like firearms as they do against energy based weapons such as blasters. We simply don't know.
Its also worth noting that you don't see someone directly hit by a blaster (as in Skin or fabric contact, not armor contact) survive very often. Because blasters are an energy based weapon not and not a kinetic one, I have a theory that Blasters are anti-personnel weapons more than anything else. Accuracy and precision in a firearm matters very, very much, because the main damage from your projectile comes from penetration at high velocities, meaning that in order to kill someone you need to target vital areas of the body were sensitive and important organs are located and can be destroyed. If you get shot in the foot with a 50. Cal bullet, you will no longer have a foot, but you may survive.. if you get shot in the chest with the same round, you will not survive. This may not matter as much with a blaster, because it truly is an ENERGY based weapon, which means that on contact with the skin it may damage the impact area of course, but the human body is highly conductive, and its very possible the energy from a blaster bolt is dispersed through a targets entire body, not just the place of impact... meaning its very possible that if you get shot in the foot with a blaster, you may very well still die almost immediately. This would make accuracy and precision less important factors in Blasters than they are in Firearms, and also may explain why stormtroopers seem to prioritize rapid fire over accuracy in the movies.
The argument against Tibanna Gas and its unstable nature is partially warranted, but in the form of Blaster ammunition itself it may not be anywhere near as deadly, volatile, or dangerous to handle as you might be expecting. The reason I say this is because in our REAL history the US Military made the exact same argument when they switched from muzzle loaded firearms to cartridge based firearms. Before the the mid to late 1800's all firearms were loaded by loading in your gunpowder and ammunition separately down the front muzzle of the firearm. Though this was out of technological necessity at the time, when a cartridge based ammunition was finally designed that contained your gunpowder and your projectile at the same time, the military was really hesitant in adopting it, as they were concerned the ammunition could ignite outside the firearm and cause the person carrying the ammunition to either be severely injured or die. This was a valid concern on paper, but as we found out, it wasn't as warranted as they initially thought, discovering that it was actually very, very rare for munitions to critically fail outside the firearm it is supposed to be loaded into, and even when it did the damage an exploded round of ammunition could do didn't really have enough energy outside the firearm to be of real concern. I imagine Tibanna Gas based ammunition may have some similar factors at play.
On the flipside, if you were to use a blaster in our modern world or if you were a special ops solider or an assassin of some kind, a blaster does have one interesting upside that regular firearms do not have... tracelessness. There is no projectile or round to be found at crime scene based around blaster fire. All of it is energy base, and therefore there are no forensics that can be done to trace were a projectile may have originated. This doesn't matter as much in a large scale battle, but as a smuggler or someone in an occupation that does not wish to attract attention from authorities, a blaster would be a weapon you would be able to use freely and not worry as much about evidence left behind.
Anyway, that's counterarguement/short novel. Personally.... I'd much prefer the Zerg industries ZF-1.

I agree with your points, but firearms would be able to shoot a lot more bullets. The fire rate of firearms is much faster than that of a blaster. Even if one bullet can't kill you, more will be coming. Bullets also travel much faster, so it would be very difficult for a Jedi to stop and send back using telekinesis.
In one comic there was a bounty hunter who used slug throwers at a jedi and the bullets where melting and loose velocity before hitting the jed.
Instead of a scattergun, I would probably use Kalashnikov as from what I know about it is that it's cheap though that may not be true in the Star Wars universe, it's easy to maintain, it is said to be so easy to use that even children can use it which in fact they do which would be great for me and I have never used or touched a gun ever in my life, it has already experienced and had been used in extreme conditions like in the freezing tempters of Eastern Front, the humid and muddy jungles of Vietnam and the scorching hot deserts of Africa and it had also survived the test of time since ww2 and is still used by some militaries and militant groups.
While a pump action loaded with double aught would ruin a Sith's day, you need to study up on your modern firearms.
Hollow points don't shatter. They mushroom and expand, increasing surface area to increase kinetic energy transfer into the target and increase the size of the wound channel.
They also tend to have less penetration against armor.

One benefit with blasters is capacity. Most charge packs are at least 30-50 shots in something like the DC-17 blaster pistol. Firearms are also meant to keep a wound open when it hits a fleshy target. Blasters are gonna probably cauterize the wound thus probably preventing bleeding.
