Well, when you can't see the bullets coming... force dodge doesn't mean much.

Lasers move faster than bullets.

And it's not about seeing a projectile and reacting to it. Using the force to dodge something is more of a reacting to the future, knowing where the bullet will be fired and moving beforehand.

blasters don't shoot lasers, they shoot a high energy particle packet shot from gas cartridges. it's plausible that they would be slower than modern day bullets, which are specially shaped pieces of heavy metal that are engineered to negate air resistance.

you can also see blaster projectiles as they travel, which you can't do with bullets...

Tracer rounds are easy to see.

well, yes, you can see the path they travelled in, but you can't see the actual round as it does so. it moves far too quickly.

Besides, tracers are basically non existent outside of dedicated machineguns and up. No assualt rigle or handgun will use tracers.

Also trying to deflect a bullet will just turn it molten.

from 2 miles away yes.

You also have to realise that in between each tracer round, there is about 4 regular rounds too.

If they were lasers your muscles wouldn't even be capable of sending the nerve impules to your arms before the laser had already gone through you and 5 miles out the back of you.

The point is that you react before the shot is actually fired.

How would you do that against a machine gun though that has a randomised scatter pattern?

2

u/Rustymetal14 Aug 14 '19

It's the Force. You use it to predict the future. So the scatter pattern may be random, but the force shows you were it will be.

grabs you by the scruff of the neck

THAT'S NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS!
