Killing Jedi is probably one of the hardest things one can do when they themselves are
not a trained force user.
There have been very few non force sensitive Jedi Hunters who have had a kill count to
exceed over a dozen.
With that being said there are weapons that can greatly improve your chances on killing
a trained Jedi knight.
Here are the best weapons you can have on your person when attempting to kill Jedi.
And these will only be weapons a single person could carry with them, so no death stars.
First are slugthrowers which were weapons that fired solid projectiles known as slugs,
which were essentially bullets.
One of the main ways Jedi defeated their enemies is by deflecting the blaster bolts fired upon
them right back at their enemies.
But they can’t do that against slugthrowers in which the solid projectiles are vaporized
upon contact with the lightsaber, effectively eliminating one way a Jedi can take you down.
Also most Jedi are not prepared to fight against slugthrowers as they are very rare to come
across, so they will most likely be caught off guard with the initial attack.
The best kind of slugthrower to use would probably be the scattergun or flechette launcher,
which were basically shot guns that fired multiple solid projectiles spread across at
a direction.
As a result it would be very difficult for a Jedi to block all the projectiles being
fired upon them and they would most likely get hit by a few that they missed.
A few drawbacks to slugthrowers is that they were heavy to carry, including the ammo, and
that very experienced Jedi could in fact block against them using the force alone.
Second are flamethrowers.
There’s a reason that almost every Mandalorian has a flamethrower attached to their wrists,
it's because they’re very effective when dealing with Jedi.
Not only can Jedi obviously not deflect the fire back at you with their lightsaber, they
can also not block it as the flames go around their weapon.
One drawback with flamethrowers is that it requires you to get close and personal with
the Jedi, which if you’re not careful can result in you losing your hands or even death.
Also very skilled Jedi can at times block flames coming at them, but it requires a ton
of concentration and effort, which can be used to your benefit if you planned out to
quickly take out the tired Jedi with another method.
Third are sonic weapons, ranging from sonic blasters to sonic grenades and imploders.
Sonic weapons generated powerful bursts of energy that could cause someone to lose consciousness,
become temporarily blind or deaf, or even have their bones get shattered.
Like with flamethrowers, the powerful energy produced by the sonic weapons can bypass a
Jedi’s lightsaber.
Unless fired from a large turret, most sonic weapons will probably not kill a Jedi but
will definitely distort them enough to where they may not be able call upon the force to
the full extent, and so taking them out from there will be far easier.
Fourth are Cortosis based weapons.
Cortosis is a very rare material that could temporarily short out a lightsaber upon contact
with it.
Though usually used in armor, it has also been used in weapons such as swords.
A cortosis sword could easily shut off a lightsaber in a melee duel, allowing the user to then
quickly strike at the Jedi.
Probably the best weapon you can make out of Cortosis to use against a Jedi is a weapon
that fired cortosis bullets, which would likely kill a Jedi trying to block it as the bullets
would go right through the lightsaber and into their body.
The only drawback is that cortosis was extremely expensive and hard to get your hands on, plus
firing such ammunition apparently put a ton of stress to the weapon as Cad Bane found
out when he used Cortosis bullets, making it likely to break from overuse.
Fifth are just straight up explosives.
Jedi are of course unable to block or deflect explosive fire with their lightsaber alone,
making explosives an effect means to fight against them.
Weapons that explode upon impact, like rockets or impact grenades, would be the best type
of explosive as the last thing you want is a Jedi force pushing the bomb back at you
in the last second.
Some Jedi can however use the force to shield themselves from direct explosives, though
as before only very highly trained Jedi can do this and it does take a ton of concentration
and energy to do so.
Sixth are poison darts or just poison gas in general.
Apparently poison darts were too silent and move too quickly for Jedi to detect in time
so hitting them with one wasn’t an issue.
And although most Jedi can passively heal themselves from the poison injected into them
with relative ease, it can slow and weaken them for a short period.
Now if you really wanna get sinister you can just straight up gas a Jedi to death, but
that would really only be possible if you have them trapped in a confined area with
no means of escape.
Yes Jedi can hold their breath for a very long time and can heal themselves from limited
doses of poison, but if they are trapped in a chamber that is continually being pumped
with poison gas then they will eventually die, either in hours or days depending on
their healing abilities and the effectiveness of the poison.
Seventh are electric gauntlets.
If you somehow are able to get close enough to get your hands on a Jedi, then electric
gauntlets can easily bring them down by sending electricity throughout their body.
It probably would take a long time to kill them from the electricity alone, but it can
give you well more than enough time to kill them once they are knocked out or stunned
by it.
As a bonus we also have the lightsaber resistant melee weapons such as the riot control batons
and electro staffs.
Although they may not be the best weapons to fight against a Jedi, they are still effective
and will allow you to have a chance of clashing against their lightsaber.
Snipers are also effective if you’re able to land a direct hit on them from the first
shot, but if you miss the first shot you may be in trouble as they’ll be ready and able
to deflect the rest of them.
And those are all the known weapons that are very effective against Jedi during a one on
one fight.
Let us know which of these you would use to fight against a Jedi.
