Did Jango Fett use stutter lasers on Slave 1?

After watching AotC again tonight, does Jango use stutter lasers against Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter? He fires them so freaking fast it's like a minigun. And most of the shots hit home! If those beams were at full power it would be enough to break through a capital ship's sheild! A half dozen or so hit the hull with little damage to the fighter. When you see the ship on the ground it just looks like the armour was burnt off and not much else. It'd be a cool link in to the NJO if true.

 

I thought about that to. The 2nd and 3rd time I saw it though it looked like he was dodging pretty well. Only a few shots scored it didn't look like much.

 

I thought Obi Wan was avoiding them the first few times I saw the film. Now the third time I really watched and after avoiding the stream for about five seconds, nearly all of Jango's shot hit the Jedi Starfighter or "explode" right on top of him. So they couldn't be at full power... could they?

 

They weren't stutter lasers- they wouldn't rip up asteroids like that. In the NJO, the stutter lasers barely scratched the surface of a coral skipper and are simply designed to confuse the dovan basil. I suspect Slave 1's weapons are REALLY high powered laser cannons with a high rate of fire, a cyclic ROF of 500-1000 rounds per minute.

 

But that's my point, if the beams shot that fast and that powerfully, Jango would have torn the Starfighter to peices in a few seconds. The main reason I think it's stutter shots is because the bolts don't do much damage to the Starfighter even when they hit the hull. Take a look when it's on the ground, it's blacked and scorched but still in one peice and fully functional.

 

The shots were fired at oblique angles of attack- grazing strikes. Most of the bolt shot over the hull rather than making direct contact with the full force of the bolt. Either that or the Delta 7 has killer shields and dynamite hull armor. Or a combination of both.

The shots that hit the asteroids were dead-on hits, meaning the full bolt hit them and able to chew them up. The Incredible Cross sections just says they're variable power and rapid fire. They COULD do stutter shots, but it wouldn't quite be as spectacular.

 

Hmm... so maybe the power level and speed was faster than a full power bolt, but more powerful than a stutter barage?

 

I would think so. I also get the impression that a stutter shot from an X-wing was literally thousands of needle-like bolts. Next to no power, but a killer ROF. The blasters on the Slave 1 are standard issue with the craft, though. Gross. And I want one!

 

Well, I am not sure exactly but I know just about everything in space craft in Episodes 4, 5, & 6, and if Boba didn't modify the
Slave I too much more than Jango then I believe stutter lasers didn't even exist at that time(Episode II). If that is the truth then that means the lasers ran off an internal generator. And the Slave I is a
Firespray-class starfighter(for good reason obviously), and I am surprised he just managed to fire at that rate without running out of energy. But it was made as a police type craft for Mandolria(I think that's what the planet its called) so I would make since for it to have and extra energy to sustain fire. Maybe high speed chases or something(but the Firespray ain't that fast).

But I've talked too much and gotten off the subject. I have the bootleg version of Episode II and I've looked at the scene closely, not all the lasers were hitting the Jedi Starfighter or the asteroids wholey. Most glanced off the asteroids and some off the Jedi Stafighter's shields. The shields of the Jedi Starfighter, however, were incredibly advanced, even for the times of the New Republic and could rival that of a
B-Wing or TIE-Defender, the hull however wasn't that great and I'm surprised it survived that onslaught.

In other words, the Slave I did not have stutter lasers I think but was just a form of minigun for the ship, it you look on the toys you'll see it has four barrels that rotate so it would be a gatlinlaser(?) with a hades of alot of energy.

I always wondered why no one used "minilasers" in Star Wars but I guess Jango caught on to the idea.

 

The closest thing to minilasers I would say is that piece of junk YT-1300, the Millenium Falcon's Quad Cannons, those things fire pretty freakin' fast in Rouge Squadron II: Rouge Leader.

 

Maybe the prequel-Era weapons were not as powerful as post-ANH weapons. Since there were not any major wars recently until the Clone Wars, weapons development probably was not funded too much until the creation of the Army and giving Palpatine exective privileges.

 

I thought that they were triple-blaster cannons.

High rate of fire, decent enough power.
Not as much punch as a single turbolaser cannon, but strong enough if you are hit alot.

 

But now that I think of it, the Correlian Corperation's YT-1300, -2000, and -2400s all had Quadlasers that didn't require a generator for their quad lasers. So they never had to recharge, maybe they got this from the Firesrpay?
