"Ki-Adi-Mundi is a war criminal for using flamethrowers!!!"
Every Geonosian present using bio-chemical sonic cannons: 👁-👁
Incediary weapons are also not warcrimes unless used within close proximity to civilian populations
Also, no Geneva within several million Peta-parsecs
Geonosians also eat their POWs.
What about the droid attack on the cookies
When did he say it was a war crime? How does an enemy doing something excuse an immoral action?
Z-6 Rotary Cannon deserves an honorable mention
GOD that thing is sexy... Shame it's just an inferior weapon to the E-web.
Canister shot is no longer technically used...
Beehive and flechette rounds were used by American tanks in Vietnam, but hey we don't use those anymore either.
Instead the US now uses cluster munitions, some of which scatter the equivalent of land mines, hand grenades, anti tank rockets, and some of them seek out optimal targets as they fall from the sky.
Not anymore, they are now considered a war crime.
@@_Im_a_WW2_nerd no they're not. As an example, nor the US nor Russia have signed the agreement to ban those weapons, so they, and other countries which did not sign such agreement, are of the hook. Same goes for thermobaric systems (like Russian Tos1 MLRS).
@@Maddog-xc2zv oh ok, I thought I was smart.
@@_Im_a_WW2_nerd and why are you not or think as such? no one knows everything (International law: Despite some assertions, flamethrowers are not generally banned. However the United Nations Protocol on Incendiary Weapons forbids the use of incendiary weapons (including flamethrowers) against civilians.)
Fun fact, verpine shatter guns probably use artificial gravity instead of magnetism. Skirata said that you could fire rocks out of his shatter rifles and they fired powder rounds silently.
From what I've read it's unclear if he was being literal about that or not. He might have been exaggerating since the multi-caliber bore he had added to his let it fire just about any chunk of metal he could find. Would be cool if i actually used kind of repulsor tech to fire tho.
@@katpocalypsemeow4554 it is quite literal later in the book they do fire a stone out of it
@@quinnhasse9170 which book is that?
Firing a rock does not necessitate using gravity, though - some designs of railgun use a conductive basket to fire a non-conductive projectile, optionally retaining the 'basket' to fire the next round.
Everything is magnetic if the magnetic field is strong enough but that’s real life idk about its likelihood in Star Wars.
The line "What were they hunting?" At the end of the Lightsaber Rifle segment made me think of an item description from one of my favorite games, related to one of the more powerful spells you could get. Roughly paraphrasing: "What threat could be so fearsome as to make such destructive power necessary?"
The fact that the resistance bomber has a legitimate back story as to why it exists and why they use it makes me both love Star wars and also hate it
lol yup
The tl50 blaster rifle is great to have both blaster and granade launcher
Imagine the chaos caused at night sieging a fortress gorilla tactics
Killing multiple targets in the kill zone in a narrow hallway of star destroyer
Yeah
Paraphrasing SFDebris:
"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense. *Never* to attack.
"For that, the ***flamethrowers*** we have, yes!"
From what I've seen and read in the lore the Verpine Shattergun is more likely a Gauss weapon than a Railgun. In the Republic Commando books and it's said that Kal Skirata's shatterguns don't have any muzzle flash or report and makes no noise beyond that of the projectile itself which is impossible for a railgun system that spits a blast of molten metal and sparks as the projectile leaves the barrel. It's also able to fire projects that made of little if any metal, like the tracking powder Omega and Delta squad used to make rounds for tagging and tracking terrorists on Coruscant in the book Triple Zero. Most likely it's a Gauss weapon, a gun that uses powerful magnetic fields to levitate the projectile inside the barrel without it actually touching the inside of the barrel at any point. Besides the expense they are also rare because they are fairly fragile. As Kal said, they don't bounce.
15:15 "What were they hunting ?"
Meanwhile Jedi in Elmer's voice" Shhhh... We are hunting Sitheads..."
The noisy cricket from Men in Black is my fav little blaster.
Wooh do the jedi have some force enclosed fireball...no that's just a flamethrower. Daaaamn.
My absolutely favorite Stars Wars channel on RUclips. You are totally fair and say things suck when you think they suck. You don’t use racism or misogynistic opinions as a reason to hate on any of the shows or movies. Keep doing things the way you always have. I appreciate it. My allegiance is to the Republic as well.
I love democracy
Who are you and what are you doing here😂
My only gripe is he gets too political *insert me clicking on the most political videos and go bleh politics*
Star Wars Teary is still crying
Clearly you haven't heard him rant about dolphins 😂😂😂
The scatter blaster used by Baze from Rogue One would look effective if he’s on a Republic gunship
Yeah.. apparently, his training was crafting a belt fed blaster machine gun that has modes to turn it into an assault rifle an even limited sniper rifle
What in the blazes is that sax dance routine clip from!?
shreksophone
The bowcaster would be an awesome designated marksman rifle for wookies. I feel like new republic recruiters are always trying to convince wookies to be a marksman, or join a heavy weapons squad.
Crosshairs firepuncher blaster rifle is great weapon more versatility a blaster pistol rifle and mine launcher
Like the DC17m blaster rifle but with more attachments
And it reminds me of how the marval winter soldier launched a mine under nick furys vehicle
What were the jedi hunting that could necessitate the lightsaber rifle? Terentatek come to mind...
And also the Nameless. The Terentatek and the Nameless are very much living anti-jedi weapons. And honesty, if i heard and seen what they do to jedi, i would completely want to use the lightsaber rifle on them. (Personally, i would use it first on the Nameless. Those beings.....well....let's say they tend to drain the force from the one's they eat and trap their consciousness in their now stone bodies. And can't die unless something breaks the stone. At least the Terentatek will just kill you.)
I know of the power of the bowcaster from KOTOR!!! Zaalbar's bowcaster is amazing when fully upgraded for the early game and you can do this before you even get to Dantooine. Absolutely shreds enemies for a good while.
More advanced concepts should be explored in the new republic era with access to more modern technology. They could start using special kyber particles mixed with the tibana gas producing what would basically be called a dusty plasma in real life. But in this instance the “dust” is a magic space rock that produces energy from nothing. Creating a considerably more powerful blaster bolt. They could incorporate some kind of hyperspace technology into blasters allowing them to enter into hyperspace and gain extreme speed and momentum, programmed to exit hyperspace directly after clearing enemy deflector shields. Same thing could apply to missiles and be even easier to employ. It would just take a cheap hyperdrive unit in that case.
I don't think hyper space will ever be used in munitions because it wouldn't work in the gravity well of a planet, (so on or really close to a planet) and would be made completely null even in deep space via interdiction technology.
The actual RPG-7 isn't reusable. It's a single use launcher, which was specifically designed to give infantry squads a single relatively cheap and lightweight weapon that could be used against mid armored vehicles or static defenses like APC's artillery pieces, small relatively unarmored buildings ect. While there is a very similar looking reloadable rocket propelled grenade launcher the Soviet Union, and later Russian federation used, the RPG-29, it really hasn't seen widespread adoption primarily because the original RPG-7 is so mechanically simple and inexpensive to manufacture that at one time the Soviet Union was turning them out by the literal millions for a cost of roughly about 15 dollars in materials per unit, and just plain never really adopted a reusable launcher.
Whereas even the cheapest reusable launchers the Soviets tried to develop cost significantly more, and required a new dedicated rocket design just to use. The RPS-6 is actually more similar in function to a proposed upgrade to the SMAW (shoulder launched multipurpose assault weapon) that would've turned it into a true multi purpose weapon by giving it the capability to fire small laser guided missiles in a low altitude anti aircraft role as well as the unguided rockets and optically it was originally designed for. That upgrade ended up never happening, mostly because the federal government decided they wanted to fund a dedicated longer ranged, heavier payload anti tank weapon configured for a top attack functionality, the Javelin instead.
You also still have the Carl Gustav Recoiless Rifle still in use (the US is upgrading to gen 4, able to fire a more wide range of projectiles with different purposes), which is not use and throw away say like the AT4 or even Javelin launchers (not including the separate targetting system)
The e-web was used in Empire Strikes Back on the attack on Hoth against the Falcon
but they took way too long setting it up
@@GenerationTech so true. That anti personal gun made short work of the crew
@@GenerationTech Still, there it was... If not for the Falcon's anti-personal "machine gun", as mentioned, it was toast
I knew you were a bro, but when you said the Jawas put Din Djarin's ship on cinder blocks, I was like yeah, he's good. I don't regret subscribing to you.
First introduction to disruptor weapons was in the N64 game Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. That kind of disruptor weapon is basically a semi-automatic hand blaster version of a Davy Crockett. It's no wonder the Empire banned them.
Although based on how quickly they disintegrate a target from the Mandalorian, I'm dubious of the 'incredibly painful' part. No matter how the damage is done, the conversion is so quick the target won't have time to feel pain.
don't quote me on this but i believe i heard that feeling of the disintegration from a disrupter is much slower for the victim so what on the outside looks like a fraction of a second can feel to the victim like ten whole seconds of pain.
I'll add one a lot of people don't know about. Whether it would be worthy for the list, I have no idea:
The Caelli-Merced Sentinel IV Heavy Blaster, mostly only available from Socorro (Star Wars d6 Black Sands of Socorro). It has more power and in skilled hands is more accurate than a DL-44. The main reasons it isn't a common sight is the fact that it is mainly available only on Socorro, and that it is a finely tuned weapon that only someone skilled in blasters can use effectively. That said, wearing one can be an indication that the person carrying it knows what they are doing and that they are not someone to be trifled with.
In that regard, sometimes the best weapons can prevent a fight from beginning.
I gotta say, one of the most infuriatingly false bits of lore from Legends is the idea that light sabers would have any trouble with solid projectiles.
We see in ep. 1 when quigon cuts the blast doors that a lightsaber doesn't just melt or vaporize what it cuts, it annihilates it entirely, otherwide quigon's face would have gotten sandblasted by the backblast of his cut.
And we see in Mandalorian that when a lightsaber can't cut a physical object it just stops entirely.
So bullets would either vanish, or bounce off, thus they are no more effective than a blaster.
Some slugthrowers still work well no matter what. Scatterguns work well because a Saber can't block all all the pellets, forcing a jedi to use the force to catch them all, or take hits, which works well to break concentration. Likewise the shatter rifle works well because of its extreme speed, and bowcasters because the quarrels are explosive. None of which rely on the "lightsabers melt bullets into slag" lore.
Actually this has been seriously analysized by more then a few scientists an heavy science based channels an enthusiasts. Since it's Plasma based, even said so in universe, it's gotta be in some kinda Containment Field. An it'd have to be polarized an set to specific parameters to give it a saber shape. Or it'd basically be a very slim plasma-blaster flashlight. Which means it'd depend on either the ammo or how many was shot. Basically at close range you'd want to use some kinda flamethrower or radiation gun or some sorta shotgun or scatter gun so you wouldn't have to worry about the saber's ability to deflect the shots
@@rabbitknight87 yup, any wide area weapon would work against a lightsaber, be it a shot gun, a sonic gun, or some kind of scatter blaster. I think the shatter rifle would only really work against a garbage wielder who can't use combat precog correctly.
@@robertagu5533 nah, those "science" channels are full of crap, they don't actually look at what happens, just what they wish had happened. from what we see in canon (the movies) and lesser canon (the shows) the light saber is a solid weapon that works through annihilation rather than just thermal effects. so yes, a barrage of simultaneous shots or wide-area spray-type weapon would work, but only via saturation, not because of any inherent benefit of the type of projectile.
@@Serbobiv123 except given characteristics... No... They're really not. Swords ARE a thing in their verse too.. an was for every bit as long as ours on battlefields. Truth is what is theorized is about as reasonable as it can get. Some science "experts" sure, they full of it, but there's several others with known degrees that did some research of they own. An make guesses based off what is currently known bout tech an generally scientific "laws" regarding things like Physics that HAVE TO be goin on to bring something like a Lightsaber out of science fiction an into our reality as a usable thing.
We're sorta doing it already anyway with things like Rail guns. We just have no way to make them smaller then about what you'd put on a tank or fighter jet/chopper or similar vehicle at its absolutely smallest since rifle an machine gun size is currently impossible. Probably where they got it from in most of the various media.
So a number of these are not available off the shelf retail? That leaves a good market niche opportunity *if you can set up a automated production line.*
#10 the Verpin shattergun, #9 the Wookie bowcaster, and #7 the Lightbow all could be in high demand if built in a standardised design at a reasonable cost (for their devastating performance).
As for #6 the Geonosian sonic blaster, make a version built for common humanoid hands, or a simple ergonomic kit to replace the weapon's furniture for use by non-Geonosians.
The #5 FC1 Flecette launcher is still very useful as a area affect weapon against multiple troops/targets. It was the indiscriminate use by terrorist that made it unpopular.
[Apparently, unlike all the others mentioned (except #3), it was actually used against innocent unarmed targets...!¡! Who would do that with hand-held weapons?]
And as for #3, the Disruptor Rifle, that's a secret production line only for special customers who pay quietly under the table. And it has no logos on it.
So now you can make _a killing,_ .... so to speak, in the *weapons for the civilian* manufacturing industry.
A very upright, honest, and _ethical_ line of work that is always in high demand throughout the Galaxy.
Or you can only outfit your own forces (or species) with these, for that tactical edge.
But selling guns to everyone _when there's no firearms restrictions,_ is the opposite of *a complicated profession.*
Wasnt the B-Wing designed by that Mon Calamari engineer in "Rebels" season 2?
It'd probably be at #11, but Han's DL-44 (which was built from a rifle as we saw in Solo) was also banned by the Empire for its ability to shatter Stormtrooper armor on impact.
Canister shot is still a thing. For tank canons and artillery.
You forgot that friggin thermobaric munitions apparently also were a thing in Star Wars Lore. They probably also should make this List.😅
Agreed Han using the bowcaster was the best part of the force awakens
Sound pushes Mass .it would making a lot vehicles easier on rockets but not replace them. Moving tha molecules and atom the over body would melt or shatter before moving
Love the sax and dance break :)
Are there any modern era like civilizations in starwars galaxy
I'd like to see a list of the most reliable/elegant/versatile handheld weapons in Star Wars. Obviously lightsabers will be on that list but plenty of blasters and other melee weapons would make the list too.
Good thing you also included urabesh numbers for the people who can't read high galactic
Not really important but in Star Wars Hunters, the character Sentinel carries an E-Web and has an in built shield in said turret.
Edit: I just remembered another weapon that easily should've made the list, (and I'm sure you have your reasons for not putting it in.) The Duchess from Star Wars Rebels, I know it didn't actually happen but the show only showed us it targeting Imperials and Mandalorians, but imagine what else it could target, organic matter even, that would be truly brutal to all beings. Also kinda interesting that Mandalorians enjoy incinerating people so much haha.
liked for the sax sample. BUT where the heck is it from?! my brain is wiggin out
Would flame throughers be used on more humanoid creatures
bonus points for the sax transitions
12:19 the single worst ai image Ive seen
The star wars battlefront repulsor and the mandalorian vambraces repulsor are good weapons
Clearing groups in small spaces and counter jedi
I was always kinda bummed that when din went rambo with the e web that we didnt get the advertised "line of water balloons" effect.
Guess ill have to wait for that directors cut.
Grapeshot changed its name to flechettes.
Lost some weight, got a makeover, they are a whole new grape.
I don't think Geneva Conventions apply in space - or to disgusting bugs. A wise commando once said:
" Only good bug is a dead bug. "
Another wise commando once said: " Was it red red green or red green red..? "
Anyone else seen that meme of bad guys' aim in SW? It's mainly hilarious for the last one, there ain't no plot armour like beskar armour.
damn bro i caught his vid 1 min on upload W
Also, on flamethrowers, most modern-ish flamethrowers can reach ~100 feet. Those that the Jedi used were puny
Easily the best Star Wars RUclipsr of all time
As much as I don't like the sequels, the first one was pretty good especially that deleted scenes on "disarming" from Chewie, and I always thought Chewie shot green bolts?
flamethrowers are banned by the Geneva Conventions. in the war they were used primarily for clearing enemy fortified positions, tunnels and bunkers - that is, an engineering weapon. the fact that kiano mundi uses them in a closed space against the enemy, which, like Ho Chi Minh's Vietnamese army, lives in tunnels, is definitely a practical decision. in open space the flamethrower is useless and the effective range is not that great.
I personally believe that if the galaxy improved disruptor technology the rocket launcher used by clones during the clone wars would be obsolete compared to the disruptor weapon series.
Dialectical, dude! 😎 🤙
Where did you find this incredible music on the cutaways?
what about Vanguard Scattergun / ACP Array gun? I know it's not flashy, but it is one of the most reliable weapons on the market!
A note on the disruptor rifle: Disruptor weapons were illegal long before the empire. Every civilized system had laws against their use or sale. Even the Hutts. Do you know how horrific a weapon has to be before the space-slugs-who-sell-telepathic-heroin decide 'Nah, that's too messed up' and make it illegal?
Even Jabba?
The ion disruptors give zeb nightmares.
How come i never see any journalist in Star war. Or much TV onn Tatooweeen or Jucu
You forgot the truly deadly piece of fruit thrown with your own arm. Those things could do 10 Hosnian systems at once.
Man, those Jawas gettng vaporized by Mando didn't feel s--t. They were just gone.
I think these sorts of weapons promote the idea that the Star Wars galaxy is a dystopian one rather than a Utopia.
5:41 honestly even the first Battle of geonosis.
Love these type of videos, man. Keep em coming
13:49 yeah but it looks pretty instant, wouldent be painful for long, like a split second of mega ouch, id chose that over the flamefrower
Mandalorian heavy blaster from the old republic was said to be able to destroy starfighters also the Mandalorian ripper which was a nasty slug thrower form the old republic both of which would have fit nicely on this list
I was thinking of the weapon Sabine designed for the Empire. A weapon designed specificaly to kill mandalorians. If i remember correctly, it project a massove heatwave, so hot that it leaves only a smoking armor of the mandolarian
A massive* heatwave
Any weapon can be hand-held if the situation calls for it
*Mando picking up the E-WEB with malicious intent*
The music was my favourite part
I think lightsabers count for this list but they are tame in comparison to this list.
I feel like the DC-17m could have been on this list…
Oh yeah Dinn an the E-Web... A.K.A. that time Din watched Rambo movies on Holoflix an then the next Galactic Standard Morning mimiced it an basically mowed down a whole Platoon of Stormtroopers
I feel like Pazz Visla's heavy repeater should have been mentioned. I mean it was pretty effective against pirates and super commandos.
The US actually experimented with flechette shotgun rounds in Vietnam. They decided to abandon the idea since the darts went right through flesh without causing a lot of damage.
Can someone explain to me why the rebels had AK-47’s in Andor?
most of star wars guns came from a uk fire arms expert who specializes in sourcing guns for shows. And so for the original star wars they just modified a few real fire arms and that's basically becomem a tradition
@@GenerationTech Right. I get the modification thing but these weren’t modified. They literally had AK-47’s. Guns that shouldn’t exist in a galaxy far far away. Considering how good the show was this was very odd to me.
The jedi probably made the lightsaber rifle in an attempt to make a weapon capable of killing a sarlacc. Which really is futile, given that I don't think there's a single instance of one that didn't die by just existing too long.
Gotta say, I like the fact that the Mandalorian's rifle disintegrates the Jawa, but not it's robes. What are those things made of, and how can I get some, short of killing Jawas?
You can get Flechette rounds for 12 gauge shotguns.
With one of palpatines lightsabers the lightsaber rifle would be a handheld deathstar his pair were made of that indestructible stuff or one of
great video as always !
"Flechettes aren't moral" I don't think there is a single weapon used by the militaries of the world, that can be defined as "morally acceptable".
One of the most common rounds of ammunition on the battlefield today, is the intermediate 5.56x45mm and the Russian 5.45x39mm. These projectiles have literally been dubbed "poison bullets".
They're designed to not pierce through their targets, but instead jaw and embed themselves. But as if that wasn't enough, they're also designed to fracture inside the targets body and create multiple wounding channels. So they're very good at not immediately killing the target, instead incapacitating them, this means other soldiers will have to take care of them, drawing them into rescue their fallen comrade, opening themselves up to being shot as well.
The only reason one might consider the intermediate 5.56, and similar calibers, to be "moral" is because they have been the norm on the modern battlefield, ever since Vietnam.
In many ways I would rather go up against an enemy which is using flechettes, since it's usually a much less accurate and finnicky type of ammunition.
All this talk about super powerful weapons that shoot super fast projectiles or blasts of energy, and i find it funny that in canon and EU, the most reliable weapon to take down any force user, that bounty hunters and mandalorian swear by as if forged by the dark side itself-
Is literally just a shotgun.
What, you didn't mention BT-1 , a weapon system disguised as an astro mech? :D
What about his protocol Droid counterpart
@@eren34558 Triple 0? True , he was a homicidal protocol droid that had been locked away for all eternity until Dr Apria 'liberated' him.
Now watching from philippines
Mabuhay!
MABUHAY GENERATION TECH......... LOVE TO USE THE BOW BLASTER 🤣
0:36
Madness
6:39 Flame throwers have a Odd legality, Illegal for Soldiers to use but perfectly legal for Civilians to use. 🙃
There is a bright side. If America is ever invaded, that will be a rude surprise for any invader. Plus most flame throwers are not like the M2 units that were used in the pacific. The M2 was pretty much all napalm-fueled and not gas like modern day models.
As someone who is not very knowledgeable about weaponry can anyone tell me what is the difference between a blaster and a gun. What is a laser cannon vs an ion cannon. Etc... or can someone point me to where I might find this information about the Looking for canon Star Wars-centric information. Thank you.
What is the tune playing during the numberings? I recognize it from ages ago
eurovision song from way back now its everywhere
@@GenerationTechreminds me of careless whisper
Sorry, but I just can't take the flamethrower as legit. Ki-Adi-Mundi could have gotten a can of bugspray and a lighter and called it a flamethrower, it's not more devastating a weapon than the shattergun. Now the DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System the Clone Commandos use? That belongs on this list. Do you need an assault rifle? A grenade launcher? A sniper rifle? Got'cha covered.
I like the band!
Summer home on Kashyk?
I gotta ask: What is the show that is filled with dancing?
What are weapon rights like in Star Wars? Can anyone make a lightsaber ? Why don’t they?
Strap the e-web to a Gonk droid
Dude, if you are lookin for "MORALS", war is not the playground for your search. The reason flamethrowers were abandoned are thermobaric weapons (wich serve much better for cleaning enclosed spaces from enemy presence) and progress in handheld granadelaunchers (wich are not constrained in range, ammo capacity and ammo type so draconicaly as flamethrowers.)
Regarding the problem you have with unchecked organizations, what about the templar order? Knight monks defending voyagers to the holly land and the churches on the whole route. Or what about the medical proffesion chamber? Self-check only ... Of course, the laws, but im pretty sure, if Jedi brakes the law, he or she will be brought in front of the jedi council for sentencing and possibly handed over the repubical justice.
What would be jedi hunting with lightsaber blaster? What about dark side force users, mostly Sith? Pretty hefty portion of those are so powerfull, they can be seen as weapon of mass destruction.
No disintegrations
Wookie's (Translated in english) "I GOT A BOMB GUN OMG".
It's impossible to be cruel to Geonosians.
Anything the governments in star wars have, the people should have access to. If the government agrees that using a disintegrator is extreme they should ban it both for government and civilians. How else do you keep an empire from forming if only the government is armed?
Does anyone else notice that Congo conforms to the rule of two?
