Force Weapon: Bullets

[Tanith Alde]

I'm wondering, since you can attune a normal to the force using Force Weapon, can you do similar with say...a clip of amunition for a slugthrower rifle?

Ashin's a Force Weapon specialist, and I wouldn't. But in the end, who cares one way or another, long as you don't play god?

As Ashin said. And also, I believe this should have been posted in the Factory Discussion forum.

 

[Tanith Alde]

I never seem to find the right forum to post discussions in...I'm sure an admin will come in and move it soon, thanks for the feedback though

I say do it. But I like a level of chaos in my star wars.

moving this to factory since thats where dem weapons go

AFAIK, making a force weapon is a fairly laborious task, and one that requires great skill.

The forging process was both physically and mentally taxing, the physical stamina and mental fortitude needed to hammer the blade while simultaneously channelling energy being extremely challenging;

The entire process was taxing and challenging, and smiths ran the risk of shattering the blade, crystal, or both when channeling energy - whether due to imperfections in the lattices, or due to the inadequate skills of the smith.

A 30 second google search turned up these on the creation of force imbued blades. It stands to reason that making force imbued bullets is, of course, possible, but would require an absurd amount of time an effort (even if a bullet took a 10th of the time it took to make a blade), given that you're talking about at least hundreds, if not thousands of rounds of ammunition. That's not even accounting for the fact you only use each round once, so you'd have to constantly be replenishing your stocks. Unless you just want a few bullets on you at a time for getting out of tight spots.

I wasn't referring to force created wepaons I meant things like this : http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_weaponBut with bullets

@Zedova Jaeger

My mistake.

I still think forging force imbued ammunition would be pretty cool though.

Oh indeed, and I might look into that later, but not at present thanks

 

[Hailyn]

Possible, maybe. Probably impractical.

 

[Jorus Merrill]

@Zedova Jaeger - I'd look into other ways of making the shot count. if your character is FS, try Gray Paladin techniques.

There was a species that did something along these lines, if I remember correctly. They used the Force to alter the trajectory of rounds midflight and a couple of other little things.

I don't think this would be practical with modern firearms. The bullets are too small and move too quickly. Trying to keep focused on them would be next to impossible. But if you had something with a big, slow projectile, that might be worth looking into. Maybe a crossbow or even a smoothbore musket.

[member="Rusty"] - ysanna? Definitely had primitive weapons, if that's who you're remembering.

You mean the Massassi? They used disc things guided by the force.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

Zeison Sha also come to mind, though they used thrown projectiles or a shotgunny ballistakinesis.

Might have been them, yeah. Looks about right.

What if you ran off a power similar to Gambit (Xmen)

Force is infinite

Altering rounds in flight. Try Grey Paladins. They did something similar. Could bend blaster bolts. One of my favorite groups.

I'll stick with Gertrude. You don't alter her, she alters you.
