    Yeah, C4 is not exactly a ranged weapon unless it’s paired with an impact detonator and flung via trebuchet.

      Then we just strap naquadah on the C4 and blow the whole continent up. There you have your range.

      “Yeah, C4 is not exactly a ranged weapon”

      Not with that attitude it isn’t.

          Yeah it happens, but the bright light from the blade makes it clearly visible meaning that in a real battle your enemy would see where you are and kill you before your boomerang would come back to you

          A Jedi vs. a random Tau’ri with a P90 would hardly be a fair match. The Jedi wouldn’t know what hit him.

              I’ve had Star Wars fans argue vigorously that a Jedi could deflect a cloud of buckshot with a lightsabre. I’m a Star Wars fan myself but that’s a sure sign of someone who’s gone completely off the deep end. It’s a very basic question of simple geometry - you can’t intercept every pellet in a three-dimensional cloud with a two-dimensional rod regardless of how fast your precognitive reflexes are.
