Talk:Slugthrower/Legends

Where was there a Slugthrower in Ep I? More beacuse im curious, than I don't believe you? --Kosure 13:26, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Weren't the Sand People firing potshots at podracers with a slugthrower rifle? Silly Dan 13:38, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was the Tuskens. Is it okay to put that much info in the appearances section? I had the impression that we were only supposed to put a bullet list, but that seems quite limiting. – Aidje talk 17:45, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we should be able to write specifics in the Appearances sections, because else when we IU, we lose some oou detail. --Fade 17:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I expanded a little on the TPM appearance&mdash;how's the format I used? – Aidje talk 19:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I like it, nice and neat. --Fade 19:07, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

wookie bowcaster's
are they slugthrowers? -- 82.35.168.60(hexhunter)
 * No because they shoot lasers. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:57, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * no they don't, they shoot bolts, the bolts are somehow radioactive or something similiar, but does that make them slugthrowers???
 * "Explosive quarrels" according to the EU (blaster fire in the films). I've actually wondered this myself before, but I guess it depends on what the quarrels are made of. --Fade 15:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It appears that different bowcasters use either energy based ammo (The bowcasters from the Jedi Knight games) or energy encased physical ammo (Chewbaccas')--Eion 17:08, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * From what I know, your generic bowcaster is sort of a hybrid weapon. It has a ballistic quality (the quarrel) enveloped in energy (like a laser).  In Jedi Outcast, you need "metallic bolt" ammo for a bowcaster, the same ballistic ammo you use for a flachette (sp?) launcher.  According to the RotS visual dictionary, some 'casters also have over-under barrels (kinda like skeet shooting shotguns).  The upper barrel typically fires quarrels, while the lower tends to fire regular blaster blots. -- Shadowtrooper 17:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * But also in JO, the alt-fire of the bowcaster allows you to fire a multiple "bolts" spray volly. This would seem to be impossible with a slugthrower.--Eion 19:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * ok, i now know, it both takes energy ammo to fire 'lasers' and explosive tipped quarrels
 * Well one can argue that blaster bolts are also "slugs". -- Riffsyphon1024 16:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * One could, but this ammounts to hair-spliting.--Eion 00:44, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Episode III
Where did they appear in Ep. III? I remember they were used by the Tuskens in Ep. I and by Zam in Ep. 2, where do they appear in RotS? 199.79.168.160 22:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
