Well yeah

U no, u should see the kind of shotguns used by the Tenno sometime. One of them functions as an arm cannon!

@@axl1178 Hmmmm....I might had

More like Republic Commando flashbacks. "Huh, a blaster designed to look like a slugthrower, i didnt think lizards were that nostalgic."

*Boutta Vanguard in this boi*

The Engineer in Team Fortress 2 uses a shotgun too. Shotguns are badass.

Same here

A man of culture I see

Why support other classes when you can support yourself?

Everyone uses shotguns including scout and soldier. Take out Pyro with shotgun no reflect/UNO reverse card attack

There we go

Just got the Nintendo Switch port of that game for Christmas! I'm now going down the Slugthrower Rabbit Hole, wanting to find out more about them! LoL

Get some bacta delta.

da

Unless it's the sequel trilogy, then they're just Chekov's suicide pistols.

Lol 🤣

My inner nerd: more lethal than Chekhov’s “nuclear wessels” Saving those whales was important after all.

@@michaelandreipalon359 who? I was making a ST reference on a Star Wars channel.

That thing had like...zero range though lol

*Just like normal shotguns...*

Its projectiles seem more like shards of something maybe flechettes. (And it does look like a mix of the Republic Commando energy shotgun and a SPAS12)

@@DIEGhostfish Flechette ammunition for shotguns is possible. But i think its a warcrime to use.

I'm assuming that it works like beam splitters from Fallout 4 for laser muskets. That's how I picture it my head Canon.

That or an AR-15, M1911 or M1 Garand

@@grantt1589 A Johnson M1941 LMG or M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle would probably fit in better with Star Wars' WWII style guns. (I am not a gun nut, I just looked up WWII guns on WIkipedia)

@@RorikH Johnson is a less Iconic than the M2 or the M1919, and that block with a barrel desing would look pretty good in Star Wars. Also, if we want to Americanize something with guns, we need John Browning patterns (So the BAR and the 1911 are good to go too). I'd kill for a sci-Fi Auto-5 tho.

Ooh rah!!

@William Sherman the Winchester M1897 was the shotgun primarily used by the US in ww1 not a 1890 model

Yep michael biehn aka Kyle Reece if I recall correctly

I was so shocked when that episode came out and nobody was talking about the shotgun lol

@@thestanleys3657 Seriously missed chance to have Biehn 1. Survive, and 2. Be Bielert Valance.

@@DIEGhostfish him dieing that way was stupid and a wasted opportunity. And bielert valance would have been a great character to have brought to the show particularly considering he could have appeared in the upcoming book of Boba as well

@@thestanleys3657 that quick draw duel was pretty stupid considering that Mando can't get killed by blasters.

*Me with an Inaros Prime and maxed Void Spines ability in Unairu skill tree* "Uno Reverse!"

That thank you that's why I was thinking. it makes perfect sense

But the Jedi can create Force shiels against that, right?

@@rommdan2716 I mean, it depends on how much kinetic force their telekinetic push impacts with. I'm sure one of your scientist types could figure out the maths but I'd just go ahead and say maybe? Although with force pull or force grab, you could just hold a shield with the force, like The Ganner did with the senate roof plates against the yuuzang vong. Ya know and just block all the shots that way. Really you can do just about anything with telekinesis, it just depends on how strong it is. You could theoretically compress an object into a finite point using telekinetic compression (making a super dense projectile). Or create plasma by agitating atoms inside a telekinetic pocket under intense pressure. It really just depends. Actually had a story written once that pitted genetic super beings against extremely powerful psychics. The super beings could alter their DNA to make instant changes on the fly, like creating diamond skin or could run super fast. The psychics manipulated telekinetic fields to create telekinetic "armor" or could "run" super fast, using telekinetic pushes off the ground. Or telekinetic punches. Never finished it but it was a fun idea to play around with.

@@rommdan2716 Not every Jedi can do that, also I feel like in the heat of battle something like force shield won't be easy to conjure up. Also another reason for the shotgun is because, can't block all the slugs with a lightsaber.

@@DharkDemonBlade Yes, but them the Jedis would be the heroes and Luke would have died in first movie.

Always hated that weapon. Never found a use for it

@@EckhartsLadder It's good for lesser enemies like Stormtroopers and Stormtrooper Captains, but your lightsaber can do the job just as effectively. I personally enjoyed it and the Imperial Heavy Repeater, but that's just me.

@@EckhartsLadder The majority of my JKII time was multiplayer against bots. The FC-1 HARD counters sabers.

@@EckhartsLadder In JA the Flechette would actually LAUNCH enemies you kill, sending them flying all over the map till they hit the first thing in their path. Great for when you enjoy ragdolling enemies I guess

I came looking for this comment.

not necessarily a shotgun is primarily a hunting weapon, what would make sense in a boarding action is a light automatic weapon, like an SMG.

Also a Scattergun would be less likely to pierce the hull or destroy sensitive things in the walls.

@@TheMhalpern hunting weapon doubt it

@@TheMhalpern it was effective enough in the trenches the Germans tried to make the Americans stop using it.

Its basically just a normal blaster except with a railgun in the barrel. They also arent plasma weapons since plasma weapons are Star Wars are kinda rare. Imagine a blaster bolt except contained in a sort of pseudo-shell and then magnetically propelled from the barrel, like normal, but with an incredible amount of force behind it. All the gas from the cartridge is fed into the shot and then expelled via the pumping action once the shot has left the barrel.

Good point there

Flechette shotgun, a certified Gorbino’s CEO mindset moment!

A gun that shoots guided flechette pods that explode into a shotgun death cloud

@@starsilverinfinity Yes though in Oucast/Academy I think the pod just bursts really close to the shooter and shotguns from there.

Yeah Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy both had that as a weapon option. Basically portable flak cannons.

Stormtrooper armor is said to be "Immune from projectile based ranged attacks."

@@npswm1314 sounds like propaganda.

@@npswm1314 that's bullshit if literal pointy sticks from little jacked bears work against it

@@starsilverinfinity I'm sorry 😥 The Speaker on my IPad doesn't translate a Fictional word, Race or Foreign Names.

@@kaylahills3760 It's fine, it made me smile even so I call that a win

That would depend a lot on the type of shot being used as well as the range they're being shot at. 00 buckshot doesn't have all that many pellet in a shell, about 8 or 9 with birdshot having a more (but smaller) pellets. At realtivley close range, the shot pattern would tight enoug that a Jedi could (theoretically) swing their lightswber in an arc in front of them and catch all of the shot coming at them. What could be potentially be nasty for a Jeid would be a solid sslug made from a highly heat resistant metal of some sort. Something thgat could withstand going through the heat of a lightsaber blade more or less intact. Anyobdy, don't mention a Jeid, would be having a very bad day after being hit by a shotgun slug.

@@Riceball01 I dont think a jedi has the capacity to parry all 6 or 8 buckshot and it doenst have to be a lead projectile it could be a blaster shotgun, and if it is lead or some kind of metal and a jedi parry the projectiles then you have melted lead or metal coming out of the other end of the saber, burning and making some damage to the saber user. I think that some reasons why we dont see too much shotguns in the star wars universe, they cant be balanced in all context.

Kid named force push and armor (For the Jedi that do wear it atleast):

@UCccCDy4-bc-InMX7O4vSuLw it absolutely is!

It's called a flechette something, yeah. The name is kinda funny though since flechettes are actually small metal darts, not molten balls of metal.

this

Hm?

You know that wasn't really a thing, right? It was all propaganda.

WW1 Yankee Trench gun memes 😂

Space kaiser

On the other hand, I feel like the Award Sniper Rifle is a downgrade. It felt like it was shorter range than the standard, and that you might not get the full amount of damage.

@@chrisjohnson1146 the standard sniper had two levels of zoom, the elite only had one I'm pretty sure it had the same effective range, but yeah, the scope was absolutely a step down But that award pistol, wheeee You could magdump so so very fast, incredible for getting out of tight crowded spaces

@@PogoMeraki Maybe. And again if you know the classic Battle Front games they have em too

@@bradhedgehog12 Yeah, you mentioned that already.

I’d certainly like to know

Yes

That’s a fun catch

Yes, the FC 1 flechette launcher, and from Wookieepedia it's also canon

It IS a shotgun, you can buy flechette ammo for shotguns today.

Yeah he did a whole video talking about his feelings on Republic Commando, it's called something like "My most controversial Star Wars opinion" and yeah you pretty much summed up the comment section of it.

I’d love to see this matchup. Shame that Emser didn’t get more experience as a fleet leader post-bugger war

The Verpine Shatter Guns were basically just gauss rifles yeah. You are thinking of the Squid Tensor rifle for the repulsor weapon. Since it could do both Tensor and Repulsor.
