Part 2 of weapons.
Another vote for the DC-15A heavy blaster rifle, as well as the infamous Merr-Sonn Class-A Thermal Detonator.

Re: Your favourite SW weapon, and why?
Senate Guard ceremonial rifle.
Yes, yes, I know. "Ceremonial". But it's pretty accurate, and it has stun and shock functions.
Additionally, the Stormtrooper Scout blaster. Compact, decent firepower.

Re: Your favourite SW weapon, and why?
I seem to recall some X-wing book (Wedge's Gamble, probably) using E-webs as short-range anti-air weapons.Eleventh Century Remnant wrote:If a crew served weapon counts as a smallarm, then fine, it's feasible. I wish we'd seen it actually fire; we know they expected it to be useful against the Falcon, but it's pegged largely through RPG material and the books which use that as source as an anti- infantry weapon.
I personally rationalise this by assuming that it's anti armour use consists of sustained fire of reliably man-killing but not individually antivehicle bolts against a specific point on the target, burning through by repeated impact. This is largely a guess though.
The rebel medium MGs from the trenches at Hoth look a lot less clumsy, possibly only a two man crew, gun and tripod together. Probably not as zappy.

It worked on Leia . . . though admittedly she was not much of a Jedi at that point.Isolder74 wrote:Darth Fanboy wrote:Hapan Gun of Command, it's like having a Jedi Mind Trick in the palm of your hand! Influence your friends even with a low midichlorian count!

Re: Your favourite SW weapon, and why?
My favourite SW weapon, outside of the obvious lightsabre & DL-44: DX-2 disruptor pistol, the original door knocker pistol (Pumpkin Scissors reference )
Nevermind the lame Trek-ish NDF effect sniper rifle disruptors from Jedi Knight (and onwards) games. With this baby, you get yourself within 7 metres of the target, aim, pull trigger, and all that's left of your target is a pile of ashes.

Re: Your favourite SW weapon, and why?
Although never actually seen in the games, i would have to go with a fully upgraded version of HK-47's droid assassin rifle.
Mostly because you would have to have HK-47 with you to use the damn thing.
So i guess my REAL choice would be HK-47 himself. Although i dont hing a droid can be considered "hanheld".

Re: Part 2 of weapons.
If Carrot gets to use HK-47 then I call Jar-Jar Binks. The Clone Wars cartoon has shown that he has the uncanny ability to ruin the shit of whoever happens to be in his general area. Just toss him at the enemy and wait for the fireworks.

I don't need it to work on Jedi. I need it to work on bank managers, local law enforcement officials, and my girlfriend on those nights when I don't feel like doing my share of the housework .Isolder74 wrote:Darth Fanboy wrote:Hapan Gun of Command, it's like having a Jedi Mind Trick in the palm of your hand!
