This is an awesome Star Wars fact about slugthrowers (aka ordinary firearms) from Mandalorian lore. Slugthrowers are like normal guns in that they shoot projectiles instead of lasers, distinguishing them from blasters. According to the Star Wars Sourcebook, slugthrowers with a high rate of fire would simply overwhelm any enemy with a lightsaber. Plus, slugthrowers couldn’t have their ammunition deflected back.
