Sometimes the creators of star wars go a bit too far outside the box and make weapons that are extremely cool but also very impractical and stupid.

I actually think the lightsaber rifle could shoot a more than 5 shots off from a single lightsaber. Think about it... The lightsaber melts after five shots, which to me implies when fired consecutively. However, if you fired one, maybe two, shots and allowed your saber to cool, you could fire it again without a chance of damaging your lightsaber. A lightsaber isn't going to hold the heat generated from being fired forever. Thermodynamics is a law in Star Wars last I checked. Just a thought.

OK, "defending" the EC-17 - that grip trigger isn't all that unconventional actually. In our own history, several different militaries (the US, Britain and Germany, particularly around the early 1900s, till around the 1940s) experimented with different placements for triggers, specifically on weapons like sniper rifles, or for weapons used in colder climates (where the gloves of a soldier would normally impede the use of a "standard" trigger layout. One of the most common ideas was the "thumb trigger" - i.e. activating a trigger using your thumb (the trigger being located on the back of the bolt in the case of bolt-action rifles). Those were generally intended for sniper rifles (as mentioned), with the thinking being that the motion of pulling a conventional trigger might mess with the shooter's aim.

Ezra should eventually go back to his blaster/saber design and refine it. I really liked it.
@guts60
@guts60 Месяц назад
I think Ezra ditched it the blaster-saber combo for a normal saber because he couldn’t use both at the same time. It was either the lightsaber or the blaster. However, with a regular lightsaber he can use a regular blaster in his other hand freely. There’s also the fact that he has to put ammo in his saberblaster, usually Tibanna gas, to fire it. Ezra usually uses stun mode, which uses batteries/power cells instead (which are needed for the lightsaber anyway), but it does have a set-to-kill mode that would require Tibanna gas for a proper blaster bolt. Trying to fit that in an ergonomic and practical design is difficult, so the blastersaber’s handguard was likely where he had room for Tibanna gas. But, as you might guess, the handguard design itself is incredibly impractical unless you’re planning to be facing opponents who aim to disarm you by slicing off your hands. It’s what you see on thrusting swords, such as rapiers and estocs and fencing sport swords, aka you need to be heavily focused on thrusting the blade and being thrusted at for the guard to be significantly useful. I could see a second blastersaber actual work with Ezra made a third saber if he made it longer to hold Tibanna gas inside the actual hilt and got rid of the fencing-esque guard and instead used a crossguard more akin to stereotypical medieval swords that the blaster barrel could fit in. He could even put a side emitter above it to protect the blaster and his hands effectively from lightsaber attacks. In other words, a lightsaber bastard sword with a crossguard that houses the blaster barrel, side emitters (like Kylo Ren or Kestis) to protect the barrel-crossguard, and a longer hilt to allow better two-handed grip as well as to hold the Tibanna gas.
@rumsmuggler30
@rumsmuggler30 Месяц назад
@guts60 excellent points. He still has his standard saber but I could see him tinkering around. If he ever learned of the lightsaber rifle and combined his knowledge with that design I would wager he could make a version that doesn't need to use a lightsaber as ammunition.
@GuardianSage
@GuardianSage Месяц назад
I honestly don't know why he didn't rebuild it in the first place. When his master had borrowed it during the one episode, it was shown to be insanely versatile and useful in ways that Ezra hadn't yet come close to pulling off. Personally, when I saw what it could do, I thought that it might eventually become the basis for a new generation of jedi weapons.

@4mobius280 Месяц назад
If I was to hazard a guess (and this is primarily an educated guess.), I would say that the weapon originally was designed with a trigger. At some point, the normal trigger was removed for some reason, but the guard remained. Again, this is just a guess, but residual features happen in real life. (Can’t remember any off the top of my head unfortunately.)

I don't care what any lore says for this specifically, the energy and plasma for the bow needs to come from somewhere, just like any other blaster or energy weapon in Star Wars. Given the size of the projectile relative to the weapon, its ammo is almost definitely much more limited than other weapons.
@guts60
@guts60 Месяц назад
They could have just as easily put the button inside of the grip and trigger guard. Just a thin button, shaped ergonomically to the grip, pressed right against the grip, all so that the gloves can still fit through perfectly, and requiring only one finger to pull to drastically improve aim and intuitive use. This is also substantially better than a pressure-sensing grip to fire, since squeezing more than one finger to fire will no doubt ruin your aim a ton. You can then have a switch on the side for the thumb to flip to turn safety on and off (like many firearms) so you don’t accidentally squeeze the button trigger when you don’t mean to, something I can see happening to the pressure-sensitive grip to trigger as well. Accidentally squeeze too hard? Well you misfired and miraculously hit a civilian spaceliner’s thruster causing it to be shot down.

I have several things I would like to address Alan: 1) Energy Bow: It's not a question of why... It's a question of "Why not?" A person might choose a bow because it is either more challenging than a blaster or the prefer more elegant weapons. The energy bow also has the advantages that you don't need to reload it and can be taken to worlds where blasters might be banned, but hunting weapons like bows aren't. 2) Electro-staffs: First off, have you ever been zapped by a car battery? I have and it (bleep)ing hurts! Large doses of electricity can stop your heart and the large nodules can be used to bash an individual's head in. The main reason why they are used so heavily is that they are cheaper than more expensive alternatives like phrink or Cortosis-weave weapons. Star Wars also likes to leave out burns for some reason. 3) It is not uncommon for rifles to be that long or heavy. Military long arms have had that length for two primary reasons: higher muzzle velocity and being used as spears when fitted with a bayonet to ward off a cavalry charge. To be fair to the Republic, they hadn't had a standing professional army in God knows how long, so they had to start from scratch. Finally, no single weapon is suited for every single mode of engagement or environment. The United States Army still fields shotguns, bolt action sniper rifles, and SMGs in the age of the assault rifle. 4) The Gamoreeans are using vibro weapons. They just use a rougher and simpler design than the norm. Also, Japan was still encouraging Banzai charges with swords in 1945 for the same reason as the Gamoreeans.

Because that's how it goes IRL, sometimes a new weapon becomes standard issue for decades, other times its something objectively stupid like the Krummlauf, and other times still the creator just straight up takes acid and makes the something like Landstad revolver.

I imagine the Energy Bow has a level of versitility to it you don't get out of a Blaster Rifle in how some models could also be designed to fire traditional arrows as well as the plasma bolt arrows. Plasma Bolt arrows are the standard projectile. Which cuts back on ammo to weight ratio, whilst the weapon's design also lets you potentially use specialized physical arrows too. Something that would be very handy for Hunters. Plasma Bolt Arrows for smaller prey. Specialized physical arrows for targets that cannot be killed and maimed by the standard bolts or if you wanna use a non-lethal arrow projectile.

I suppose blaster EC7's a cheap budget blaster as opposed to the blaster imperial officers are using or how imperial army's just gets handed over whatever is confiscated. Lightsaber rifle is basically a mini Death Star. Energy bows were pretty useless at taking down Commando or even B2 Battle droids. DC15 also had a grappling hook build into it and was still preferred to be used by Clone snipers and DMRs. Gamorrean Guards actually did carry a blaster pistol and their axe was mostly for ceremonial purposes. Luke did pull a blaster from one of them (unless it was from Lando, can't remember). Even more useless feature put in lightfidget spinner is to have a razor build into it.

I had some notes about this video! Any stuff I don't touch on I generally agree with. 1. The Legends EC-17's preassure trigger is a terrible design idea for a projectile weapon like a blaster, if you for any reason squeeze your blaster (like say if you were in the middle of a battle or something) you would be very prone to an accidental discharge of the weapon. 2. The Magna Guards staff weapons are not meant to kill, and this is intentional; it's a lot easier to kill an opponent when they're exhausted from being hit with stun prods for the whole fight. Most weapons are designed to get an enemy to stop fighting, and sometimes killing is a big part of that, but sometimes getting an enemy to just be stunned on the ground is more than enough. 3. The DC-15 as a battle rifle isn't necessarily a bad idea, a long; cumbersome rifle isn't much of a problem when most fighting takes place between 35-150 meters 4. I agree about the inquisitor's lightsaber, it reflects the Imperial Militaries' philosophy; They're very good at dealing with small groups of, untrained paramilitaries; but when it comes to fighting an *actual trained military force* they are horrible, for example: the AT-AT is huge and imposing and most infantry weapons can't even put a dent in it, but 3 fighters and a Y Wing would annihilate a whole column of AT-ATs, assuming they had no air support to fight them.

Having an energy field as your bowstring is a bad idea. The best form for archery often requires the archer and the bow to be perfectly aligned with each other.

The holdout blaster and the inquisition lightsabers are awful designs for a military force. Like you said, all flash and no substance. It was funny how the scout troopers in The Mandolorian showed how crummy the design was. Equally so when Kanaan or Ahsoka defeated the Inquisitors. It harkens back to the weird futuristic weapons you'd see in 1950's sci-fi which were equally low budget affairs like the 1st Star Wars. In universe though, inexpensive but moderately functuonal is what you happens when you have a galaxy wide military to outfit.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="538">8:58</a> tbh, the DC-15 seems reasonable from an in-universe standpoint (assuming that longer blasters behave simila r to longer rifles IRL) In the prequels, we see the Trade Federation and the Republic employing a lot of napoleonic-style infantry square formations, so it makes sense that longer range would take priority over CQB early on in the clone wars; both sides are slugging it out in open fields, so the key is being able to hit the other guy before he gets close enough to hit you. Incidentally, the DC-15 is a little bit shorter than an M1891 Mosin Nagant, the British MLE and the German Gewehr 98, all three of which were used in WW1 and later replaced with shorter carbine versions of themselves as large formation warfare was replaced.

The DC-15A really only has the receiver of the MG34 (even that‘s modified), it‘s mainly meant to act as a battle rifle as you said. Star Wars also has the DLT-19 which is literally the MG34 but it‘s used as a light machine gun, sniper rifle, and a battle rifle (the DLT-19D, mostly with the Death Troopers), I usually just assume that the DC15A is just the Star Wars equivalent of the M1 Garand where the DC15S is the equivalent of something like the M1 Carbine.

The way the button is on there, the flexing of your hand is going to cause the shot to go left of where you wanted it, and so begins the game of trying to compensate for windage (ie trying to aim more to the right of your target), all while most likely having an inconsistent grip and therefore, unpredictable accuracy.

Those electro-staffs would definitely be lethal.... it's just dumb that they aren't, because even if it takes 5 seconds to stop someones heart with the electric shock, as soon as they make contact with it, they shouldn't be able to move and even when they do, they'll be so shaken up they won't be able to react to a follow-up attack.

in defense of the scout blaster, aligning a passing speeder with the squeeze fire blaster could be effectively employed if you aim center of the enemy bike's vector while maintaining a cross-longitudinal view & let the windage play hit the front or back of a speeder while elevation is held steady. your speeder could maybe even serve as the elevation adjustment without changing your x/y course. need that mando technique 💯

Note on the DC-15. While heavy battle rifles (and presumably full sized blaster rifles like the DC-15) are heavy and unwieldly, the modern US military is seriously considering adopting a heavy battle rifle firing a large caliber round to replace the M4. This is, in part, due to the fact that modern body armor is lightweight and strong enough to resist weaker rifle rounds. No armor is 100% effective, even Mandalorian Iron has its limits, but when fighting an army of battle droids, some of whom are protected by a thick armored chassis (the B2 for example), a more powerful blaster could be important to reliably put down your enemies. When fighting against poorly equipped insurgencies like the rebel alliance, a shorter, lighter weapon may be preferred as close combat and ambushes tend to favor lighter, more manuverable weapons. The E-11 could be explained as simply being a modernization of the DC-15 carbine, they are outwardly similar in appearance, and it would fit the Empire's transition towards counter insurgency instead of open warfare.

A simple way to improve the lightsaber rifle is intentionally "Cheap" lightsabers either essentially made as high-capacity and high-output batteries for more shots or even more powerful ones for fewer shots, you won't be wasting a weapon crafted for and by a master. (edit note: I looked it up again and remembered it auto-ejected)

Actually the DC-15 carbine variant has always existed alongside the battle rifle. If you look closely during the battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones, you can see a clone captain and a few troopers with the smaller DC-15 when the gunship with Windu arrives behind the lines.

A *EC-17* would make a useful hidden weapon for a *Wookie* in a pinch. Because it was designed for armour gloved Human hands they could readily wield it. Although a Wookie keeping one would probably change the trigger/grip layout for something more ergonomic for a Wookie, and thus more accurate than a standard *EC-17* in Human hands. And with their long lifespans and technical aptitude, the average Wookie could be a decent armourer without much effort, or at least know another Wookie who was. As a side note, the *DC-15* would be a good standard combat rifle for a Wookie. Being a foot taller on average than a Human, it's actually a convenient size for them. But I still reckon the Wookies should have just bought a bulk shipment of *MWC-35c "Staccato Lightning" repeating cannons* (Baze's Minigun from Rogue One). It weighs 30 kilograms, which is a lot for a Human, but not much for a Wookie. That's just a carbine with a cross body bumbag for them. But back to the *EC-17,* just imagine how difficult it would be to find one hidden in a Wookies fur? Build it into a hair clip with a merkin on top (or a fur covered holster) and you're not finding that hidden on a Wookie without a scanner or a wide tooth comb.

Two questions and an observation Q1 Does the lightsaber rifle damage the kyber crystal or does it just melt the Mechanical components of the lightsaber through enery overload and thermal build up? Q2 Can the energy bow be used as a melee weapon? I.e flip it around and use the bow string to cut through people like its some offspring of a lightsaber and a bat'leth? O1 Wasn't the point of the electro tips on the electrostaff for psychological effects as well as to cause muscle spasms when used against Jedi so as to give the three other magnaguard attaching them an opening?

I mean to be fair, the Magnaguard's electro staff IS a crowd control weapon, but you also have to take into account it's being wielded by an extremely advanced droid that is likely strong enough to cave a grown man's skill in with a single blow. So the electrical component is probably to deflect sabers and actually perform crowd control while also augmenting the Guard's preexisting capacity to murder with little assistance.
@KageRyuu6

Regarding the elctro-staves, I think it's more than likely because of the energy field they create which makes them resistant to lightsaber strikes. Now why they don't add a blade to one or both ends, no idea.
@DoctorBored357
@DoctorBored357 25 дней назад
You kinda answered yourself on the "why do guards use electro staffs?". It's crowd control. Or at least that's the excuse used for Royal and/or Imperial Guards. An intimidating but not immediately fatal weapon that can cow the masses if needed without killing them. It makes them seem slightly less hostile while still presenting a tough image. They also carry blasters under their capes but it's also the EC-17 so still not great... For the Magna Guard droids, Grievous often liked to toy with Jedi. Watching them exert themselves as they fight the droids before he stepped in was fun for him. He also liked to capture and torture Jedi, so having minions (which Grievous designed, Dooku and Palps had little to do with the end product besides Dooku just ordering that they be made after seeing the designs) that can subdue them is perfect for his twisted needs. Everything else, I pretty much completely agree. Also what is the song is Yoda dancing to? That's groovy as hell.

‘A squeeze activated blaster” sounds like a BAD idea.. If you have to squeeze the grip to make it to off, it will go off randomly… Also, if you have to squeeze your entire hand or multiple fingers to fire, it WILL throw off your aim. There is a reason why triggers have remained relatively unchanged for many long centuries… They Work.

If the DC-15 was fully automatic, or could be turned from semi to auto to semi again via a switch, I could see it being a lot more useful. Even still, it is limited to open battlefields, firing from an open LAAT from above, ambushes that you don’t plan to jump out of cover from (no charging in), and from defensive positions. And with the carbine variant it would still see more use because you have the same fire rate in a more reliable and useful package in exchange for some accuracy that your clone firing squad makes up for.

The DC-15 was designed to strike theenemy at long ranges and given the pre-Napoleonic style battle we see in The Phantom menace, having a longer range than your opponent would be a huge advantage. But with the rush towards the enemy head on approach we see on Geonosis, using a large, cumbersome weapon becomes a disadvantage. It is reminiscent of the situation in WW1, they came with weapons designed to be effective at ranges of up to 1.5 km and found themselves fighting at distances so short their sights couldn‘t be adjusted to.
