What is your favourite star wars gun and why is it the DLT-19?
>>62893550so good 2 of the best bounty hunters use it
>>62893554pure sex

>>62893550I actually have quite the collection of tastes for Star Wars blasters and firearms, The DLT-19 is certainly up there among my favorites, though I had personal experience with the BlasTech Medium Repeater in Star Wars D6, and it did not disappoint me at all, though of course neither holds a candle to the Baragwin Heavy Repeater, but then again few things do in terms of raw firepower.But I think my personal favorite has to be either C-10 Dragoneye Reaper, and the WESTAR-35 pistolsThe former's little more than a sawed off blaster rifle with a pistol stock to it, a brute handcannon that outstrips even the DL-44 in terms of sheer damage it can inflict onto a single target,, basically a .50 caliber pistol to its .44 Magnum,. Meanwhile the Westar-35's brutalist aesthetic, combined with its keen accuracy, makes it an excellent choice as well, even if its not as powerful as the former.
>>62893622Do you have any books you recommend for blasters? I started getting into the EU books last week with the thrawn trilogy and loved it I ordered 10 more different EU books
>>62893550Close but no. The DLR-20A is the peak Star Wars rifle. Featured in the original movies, best games, and LEGO figures. Looks badass and based off the Stg-44.
>>62893622nice
>>62893658IG88 used one
>>62893658Also used by the coolest clone trooper design. Scout troops for life.
>>62893640The Star Wars FFG RPG books are pretty good with blasters and gadgets, its where the C-10 came from and the WESTAR-35's stats were from.
>>62893661Also this. And IG is such a badass

>>62893739I love the EU so much
>>62893659Girl is cute, but what the hell is that ship outside the window? It's like someone stuck Y-wing engines where a TIE fighter's wings are supposed to go.
>>62893550For me, it's the SE-14C. Two scopes, for double the accuracy!
>>62893550T-21B is pretty cool.
>>62893809Thats not some girl, thats Leonia Tavira! put some respect on her name!. Seems like a Ywing with a TIE pilot>>62893818love the t21, wish I had a small ship with an armoury I could have a few in there, theyre only 2000 credits>>62893816nice
>>62893550The DH-17 is underrated as an in-game weapon and an in-universe PDW. >>62893739doesn't count>>62893809that's exactly what it is, the TYE-Wingit's just as much of a POS as you think
>>62893848>The DH-17 is underrated as an in-game weapon and an in-universe PDW.Very nice, I would like a couple on my small ship
>>62893550The Westar M5 is my favorite, at least for rifles. Only shows up a few times in the EU, mostly in the hands of ARC troopers.For pistols it's either the DL18 or the DE-10.
>>62893871looks fearsome, would destroy a lot of enemies
>>62893897
If you're not choosing the crossbow laser grenade launcher, you're doing shit wrong.
Peasants.Peasants and Philistines, all of you.
>>62893809>>62893836>twf when no big tiddy Moff gf.
>>62894112And its long gun cousin.
>>628935504LOM MENTIONED
>>62894120There's only one Star Wars gal for me.
>>62894136Imagine being a bazillionaire crime lord with a tittymonster assassin droid.
>>62894152Are you implying you wouldn't do the same? Because I sure as shit would. Xizor was pure class.
>>62894154No, no, no. By "imagine" I meant "wouldn't it fucking rule"
>>62894157Oh.Quite.
>>62894154No.I would have two with opposite color schemes
I think the Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster looks fucking stupid, but Christ is its effect cool. If your rifle doesn't commit at least five war crimes a day, is it even worth loading?
>>62894169lol if I remember SotE right, Guri alone damn near bankrupted Xizor.

>>62894183I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I am excited for Skeleton Crew coming out next month, Jude Law will be kino
>>62894174I like the more primitive rifles
>>62895191Based. I love ridiculously long rifles that can be used as a staff, club, spear, boat oar, pry bar, pole vault, and occasionally a rifle with an effective range of 3 zip codes. Honestly I didn’t mind the sand people episodes of Book of Boba.

E11 is the GOAT, forever
>>62893550Hope Carano absolutely rapes Disney in her wrongful termination suit.
>>62897677She has been coming along quite nicely
>>62897633cope, Shin hati is love
>>62893550DC-15 for me. It's the blaster with an option for every situation, like a Star Wars version of a Phaser.
>>62897826yeah it is a good one desu
>>62897823Shin is sex. I love crazy quiet girls.
All original trilogy weapons were navmeshed real weapons. What was the EE-3?
>>62897826This with the first phase of Clone armor. Dropship me onto Geonosis, I am ready
>>62898127Webley signal pistol turned into a riot gun.
Just the one.
>>62898127>navmeshyou mean nifskoped? navmesh is short for navigation mesh
>>62898127>>62898776Are zoomers retarded? Don't they know words?
>>62898776>>62898787You people are in a sci-fi gun thread and have never modded New Vegas? Sad.
>>62898809I don't use nifskope'd mods because I'm not a 12 year old who wants to use a kitbashed ugly-ass make-believe gun, you unbelievable fucking faggot.
>>62898830I accept your concession, young infantile male.
The DC-17m might be my favorite for carbine length blasters. That is ignoring the ability to turn it into a sniper rifle or anti-tank weapon in seconds, shit is ridiculous.The base design is just very pleasing.>>62894120Truly a sad reality we live in.Man I'm way too down bad for imperial chicks in positions of power.
>>62898603This is fucking mint
>>62893658yeah that one is pretty hard to beat. Enough real gun to make it feel realistic and grounded but stripped of the mags and enough stuff added to make it feel foreign and new. Aside from the Mandalorian no one in star was has really managed this since the prequels.
>>62896614It doesn't seem like accuracy is as important as suppressive fire in star wars since ammo capacity is so large. They're probably more uplinks to the HUD of helmets

>>62896614>>pistol>>giant fuck off scopesyes
>>62898127It was built around a flare pistol
>>62899932Forgot pic
>>62893550I've sometimes debated the ethics of mutilating a genuine C96 and turning it into a functioning DL-44
>>62896496Why did they make it a sandworm?
>>62900022Now it's possible with a replica, but crazy to think that they mangled real ones in the OT.
>>62900056dont know, only show that was good was andor
>>62900263
>>62899143The high ammo count is offset by having less accuracy than a musket.>inb4 some fag tries to conflate rounds per kill with suppressing fire to Star Wars people missing at twenty feet standing out in the open
Is it ever explained why laser weapons need magazines? I'm asking legitimately.
>>62900741Star Wars "Blaster" Weapons aren't lasers despite being called that by some characters. They're super heated plasma bolts. Some weapons like the spider droid gun and the death star's superlaser are actual lasers, those have a core that must recharge after use.
>>62900741They're batteries, and blasters work by exciting a special gas with a laser which is then what comes out of the barrel in a plasma state. The gas also needs to be refilled, though depending on the blaster model the gas and power pack are combined into a single cartridge.Most military-grade blasters will have between 200-500 shots which is typically enough to last a single firefight without having to reload, with fancier ones like the DC-15 having variable power settings which lets you chose how much oomph you want your shots to have at the cost of using up more gas/power.
>>62900858So are lasers stronger than blasters in Star Wars?
>>62900886Yeah much stronger, they're used to take out deflector shields and heavily armored targets. They take a huge amount of power and run dry quick though.
>>62900261Well not like most were overly rare back then.Afaik the main reason why they used surplus guns for the movie was as a cost saving measure.These days using a DL-44 replica is the cheaper option, or maybe souping up an airsoft replica. >>62900858>>62900914SW is kinda inconsistent with that, blasters, blaster cannons, laser cannons and turbolasers use the same principle of heating gas, with the lore difference being that blasters use an electric charge while the stronger lasers weapons use a laser to heat the gas.Continuous beam weapons like on the LAAT/I, OG-9 and SPHA-T are probably not true lasers either, the latter explicitly uses a turbolaser while the others are supposed to have continuous beam laser cannons.In old EU lore even the death star super laser, which visually looks like the other continuous beam weapons, was composed of "exotic matter beams", whatever that is supposed to mean, and then we have all the proton beam weapons which are something completely different.SW, especially with all the lore changes, is never really reliable with these things though.
