Why The Mandalorian's Weapon Was BANNED By The Empire

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Just to be clear the whole time and neuron part is from the lore saying how "excruciating" death by disruptor was. My BS degree was neuroscience focused, worked in a neuro lab so I know how parts of the explanation are silly. But it's much less of a suspense than accepting other SW realities like hyperdrives. People often confuse what I think vs me giving the best explanation of the lore.

[@aa-kz7hc]

i was wondering if you think there should be some variations of the mandalorian armor

[@theclonelieutenant5976]

Sir Archiver MetaNerdz Lore as I have fought on many different planets and have seen different weapons in those battles what are those weapons that are shown in your weapons briefing at the time of 3:55 . I know of some such weapons such as land mines and I have head of biological warfare of the blue shadow virus from a brother and we have been trained for gas attacks but what does it say on the ammunition i don't recognize that type of writing, why is a sniper rifle banned,why is their a crab droid leg next to a bunch of thermal detonators?

[@WardenWolf]

I always interpreted "No disintegrations" as saying they weren't allowed to just blow them out of the sky.

[@jasonhagar1758]

I know what you mean. I definitely am not criticizing you and I'm sorry if I came across that way. I know that the lore comes from other sources and I like your channel for condensing and sharing it. I just remember growing up before the excessive amounts of lore that has to seemingly explain away every little thing making such galactic issues of such small things. It's kind of amusing but at the same time annoying. This is one of those cases where I think the lore got carried away and forgot that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[@midshipman8654]

MetaNerdz Lore the one thing is though that the time between getting shot and being disintegrated seems so short that any perceived slowing down of time would still not feel like it would last longer than an instance. Hell, seeing how fast the Jawa went up I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t feel a thing.

A lot in common with exploding projectiles in small arms in real life: they are banned from military use since they are going to kill or wound only a single target anyway, exploding stuff only causes prolonged suffering and (even more) grievous injuries for nobody's benefit. The bounty hunter's perspective sounds like the arguments used in favor of (the use of) expanding ammunition in the past: "The civilized soldier when shot recognizes that he is wounded and knows that the sooner he is attended to the sooner he will recover. Your fanatical barbarian, similarly wounded, continues to rush on, spear or sword in hand; and before you have the time to represent to him that his conduct is in flagrant violation of the understanding relative to the proper course for the wounded man to follow-he may have cut off your head."

[@fasteddy9312]

There are many situations in warfare where killing someone is better than wounding someone. However given the nature of modern warfare there are many cases where wounding an enemy will reduce his combat capabilities far more than killing him. I think a good hypothetical example would be medium to close range engagement roughly 100 - 200 meters. If you kill the enemy one man is no longer a factor in the engagement, but if you wound him it's quite possible it takes 1 or 2 other soldiers to then attend to him and try to keep him alive. Therefore removing 2 or 3 men from a fight without killing any of them. So if you have a squad of 10 men and 2 of them are seriously injured you could render half or even the whole squad combat ineffective depending on the situation. That being said, it depends on the situation, if one where in a close quarters engagement I'm pretty sure killing the enemy as fast as possible takes priority. If your familiar with Warhammer 40K, the lasgun issued to average guardsman is hilariously week compared to other weapons in the setting. The justification for this is while the lasgun can kill a target, the real goal is to wound the individual so he ties up the enemy's recourses taking care of him. This is only for him to die within a few days as lasgun wounds are almost always fatal.

@@rawb ​ After taking a look at it i can say that although you're obviously putting in the effort, the writing and "joke" structure of your abridged series is too random and not really based on anything to be well liked by a broader audience. If you look at more popular abridged series like DBZ abridged, SAO Abridged and Hellsing Ultimate Abridged (now the people are the golden examples of Abridging and writing a series so don't be discouraged about their level of production) they have rewritten entire characters and let their jokes stick to how their characters and personalities of said characters are written. Their abridged characters still go trough their own personality growths and character plot just as the original characters have. Although you're already at a bit of a disadvantage by not abridging an animated show :') Not trying to flame you, just giving you some tips on storytelling and character development and stuff. :) No need to follow any of it if you don't want to, just Keep doing what you love/enjoy my dude.

@@shadeymcbones6707 I think this exact opinion could be applied to dvz abridged if you only watch a few episodes.

It isn't till he meets up with the IG unit that you can start to do those stories. I appreciate the long feedback my man, but tbh it's nothing to do with "joke" structure and everything to do with just the way the internet works. Sometimes it doesn't matter how funny or unfunny something is, you can't control if it gets popular or not.

@emilio kowalski People seeing their life flashing before their eyes is a survival mechanism. It's your brain (in a life threatening situation) scanning every previous event/experience to see if there's a solution contained therein to the current event. Experiments have been done that prove conclusively that in a life or death situation your perception (and by extension thought processes) speed up dramatically beyond what one normally experiences.

I don't think the mandos weapon would be painful, it disrupts your atoms bonds far to quickly to be felt

[@Underworlddream]

I feel like that the cover story people had to band it. I remember hearing that Disrupter can disable ships system so it was useful for pirate and rebel so the empire ban it so they can't take out there ships. It turning people to dust was just a side benefit. Also in legend people had special shield that can repeal the shot back to the user so it was something if your unlucky you can actually kill yourself, it the reason why it not widely used.

Conspiracy Theory: Obi-Wan Kenobi did a disappearing magic trick using a disruptor rifle when Darth Vader “killed” him.

[@redguards52]

I get that it's just lore but how would anyone actually know whether or not it was painful if it disintegrated them immediately? They would be dead and unable to tell anyone lol

[@bighobo7745]

Pretty sure it was explained by people being wounded by disruptors at a lower power setting or something. Same reasoning as exploding bullets in real life I suppose: such projectiles are small and just powerful enough to kill or wound only one man, and as an ordinary bullet will do for this purpose, there is no overriding need for using these inhuman weapons.

[@Hust91]

@@bighobo7745 It doesn't seem like it would relate to the experience of being killed by a disruptor, however.

[@aetherblackbolt1301]

@@bighobo7745 the issue with that is that being non-lethal low-power is exactly how people would survive long enough for neurons to transmit pain and to have remaining tissue. When someone is utterly disintegrated in a fraction of a second, you'd get pain for a millisecond at best or just not feel it.

Id say the only time they should be permitted is when dealing with species that have the ability to regenerate such as Durge.

The fun thing is... Every direct energy weapon works by splitting molecular bonds. Give any molecule enough energy so that it's thermal vibration becomes stronger than bonds holding it together and it will break from structural lattice and become liquid, vapor, or ever fall apart completely or reacts with something else. So, in the end of the day ... disruptor rifle IS just a very powerful blaster. It is very powerful and compact in the same time, somehow.

"Today is a good day to die." vs. "Today is a good day for someone else to die." I'm going to put my money on the guy wearing actual armor with mobility and the goal of killing the other guy. The Klingons might get a bit salty over the mando's tactics being a tad "dishonourable" but I think that that'd be a fight that a lot of people would be watching and betting on... also I think that survivors on both sides would walk away feeling very satisfied.

[@casbot71]

From a _covert ops perspective_ they are great weapons, since they don't leave an *inconvenient corpse* lying around to alert other guards ect, and you can even steal the uniform. And why don't they destroy clothing as well? In that case they are the _perfect robbery weapon_ as well, kill your victim and leave their stuff lying there ready to grab, no searching of the body needed. Also you can be sure your _target is dead,_ with a blaster they could be dead or just wounded and playing dead, or dying and able to survive with medical help - but if they're a cloud of vapour you don't need to _double tap_ in the head to make sure. And they are just better from a hygiene perspective, no bodies left to rot and cause disease, or stink up the place.
