How affective would a real gun be in the Star Wars world? All of the projectiles travel sorta slowly, giving Jedi time to deflect them, but real bullets travel so quickly that you would even be able to blink before you get hit. It would be impossible to block it, dodge it, or stop it with the force.,(reply>), Some bounty hunters use slug throwers because their ammo can be easily customised and they can be silenced, they also used them because jedi can't deflect them as the metal projectile just vaporises and the jedi gets hit with a face full of 3000° metal
