I was banking on nobody ever knowing I had it and moving to the middle of nowhere to test the phantom menace door opening gimmick on several miles of rock- but then I considered that I might accidentally strike gas eventually and mentally settled for turning it on and off again
>blasters offer no practical advantage over bullets.
Actually they have major advantages. They don't use gunpowder so they don't leave residue on the shooters hands. Also they don't have casings. So trying to prove someone what shot with a specific blaster would be impossible.
Also, since blasters don't exist, the police would have victims with burns and have no idea what caused them. So killing someone with a blaster would be basically impossible to trace.
I'd just accidentally cut a hand off with a lightsaber. There's literally no safe way to use one. And if I had one and someone pulled a gun there's no way I'd be able to block a bullet so it's shit for self defense.
Blasters are loud as frick. You could literally do the same shit with a lightsaber, a silenced pistol would be better than a blaster. You just cant go around blasting people will figure that shit out after a few kills.
Now silently stabbing people with a lightsaber…
why would you be in a gunfight at all. all you can do with the blaster is shoot things, but the lightsaber is a compact tool that can cut through anything.
Blaster. If you have a light saber, every homosexual in the Galaxy is gonna want a shot at you. Your life will become a conga line of cringe. You're just some guy with a blaster? Nobody cares, move along, not the droids, etc.
Lightsabre because no nation on Earth has laws that account for CCing a lightsabre, using it in self defence or packing it in your carry-on at the airport. If some Black person pulls a knife and I pull my 4 foot long lightshank he's gonna shit his pants.
A blaster offers no major advantage over an IRL gun.

police solve crimes by matching bullets to specific guns, if you cannot match the bullet (because there is no bullet) to the gun then you can't prove the crime.
That's true. But IRL if you're going to go around murdering people the cops are going to be equally stumped by a lightsabre. But murdering people is not the point, the point is having a weapon you could carry around without it ever being identified as an illegal weapon even if discovered. If the cops find a blaster they're going to immediately make a big deal about it, I know because I was detained at the airport for 6 hours because I had a cigarette lighter shaped like a revolver in my luggage,
>what is class A weaponry
You think laws are written vague for your benefit?
Even the vaguest weapon laws need to define what a weapon even is. None of those definitions are going to account for a laser beam sword because it's so far outside the scope of what is currently even possible to science that it's not even worth considering.
>Even the vaguest weapon laws need to define what a weapon even is
No, anything that isn't a legal firearm will be in doubt considered a unauthorised/insidious weapon.
That is why people who don't like guns and carry around knifes or knuckle dusters unwittingly frick themselves over, no matter how rightful their self-defense was.
Blaster because I'm a moron that would hurt myself with the lightsaber.
In a non-combat situation a lightsaber would be nice for things like welding and starting campfires. It's unlimited energy.
homie that's like asking if I'd rather have rock or paper and scissors don't exist
lightsaber because even if it broke I could still use the gay space crystal inside it to make a laser that I can shoot anyway
Galaxy take: Use both
Lightsaber, obviously. Just buy a normal gun, then you have both.
blasters offer no practical advantage over bullets.
Lightsabers, despite all of the gay nerd fandom over star wars, are still cool af
>shoots you
good choice dumbass
why would I put myself in a situation where I would have to defend against a bullet, I'm white
becasue Im coming to get your awesome lightsaber hehehe
I was banking on nobody ever knowing I had it and moving to the middle of nowhere to test the phantom menace door opening gimmick on several miles of rock- but then I considered that I might accidentally strike gas eventually and mentally settled for turning it on and off again
*deflects it back to you*
heh

gun with no force > lightsaber with no force
This is the only correct answer. The force is what allows Jedi's to block blaster fire with the light saber.
why would you be in a gunfight at all. all you can do with the blaster is shoot things, but the lightsaber is a compact tool that can cut through anything.
how do blasters work in the star wars universe? do they have ammo, or charge?
are they full auto?
They're condensed high heat carbon. That's why they leave carbon scoring on vehicles, walls, armor, etc.

Prosecution: destroyed.

First degree murder.

the lightsaber so I can rob bank vaults with it lmao
>Turn light saber on and leave it somewhere in a dark place
>Flies sudoku themselves
I've already got a gun
nobody got a lightsaber

I'd 100% would critically injure myself with a light saber
