What if Boba had earth weapons, what would he use?

Is there already a thread on this?

A repeater rifle for sure, it may be safe to throw in a glock and a few grenades. I know there was a thread on what type of VEHICLE he would use but I don't think there is a thread on what type of weapon.

January 6, 2007 9:54 am (Edited January 6, 2007 01:23 pm) #

I think that he would use an M16 with a bayonet. He would probably have some sort of semi-automatic pistol and grenades. He also might have a kukri or sabre for melee.

a sharpened penic with an elastic for his poison darts if he was in a tight spot but i could also see him using chinese stars or throwing knives

How about this for a vehicle:

Yep, that's 8 stinger missles and a GAU-12 25mm gatling gun.

Haha, that is an awesome vehicle.  I would say that's pretty accurate.  Not sure if it moves fast enough for Boba though.  Who knows?

He might use 2 Desert Eagles in .50 Action Express caliber.

for a heavy MG, fett would use the ww2 MG42,it has a high rate of fire at 1500 rounds per minute-20 rounds a second and is reliable, relatively light and truly devastating.you can either use it in the heavy mg mode, or can carry it firing from the hip giving massive firepower.

January 7, 2007 12:32 pm #

I woulda gone with the mg30, lighter and easier to carry.

And I doubt Boba would ever use an M16, there are hundreds of better weapons out there, it was a second class weapon when it debuted, and even the guerrilas in Vietnam refused to pick them up.

I'd give him a grenade launcher for sure, like an updated version of the 1 from terminator 2.

Good... Bad... I'm the one with the gun.

For an assult rifle i would give him an AK-47  with a grenade launcher attachment.

http://www.volny.cz/ak-47/ak-47/aks-47.jpg

For a sub machine gun i would give him a P90,compact,light and with an impressive rate of fire for a sub machine gun at 900 rounds a minute.

http://www.caws.demon.co.uk/airsoft/images/P90-4.jpg

For a pistol i would give him a Mauser c96 which was first made in 1896 and was used in both the first and second world wars. Although it is very old it is long range for a handgun and accurate,also the later version,the shnelfeur could fire fully automatic like an uzi.it could have either a 10 or 20 round mag and a stock.

Yes I did, if I were in that line of work that is what I would use.

That's the point the person using the S.A.W. is supposed to provide covering fire not sniping an individual target.  It is to pin down the enemy allowing for troops to advance, or fall back under the covering fire of the weapon that is also why the supporting gunner with the weapon has the heaviest armor in the squad because the routinely expose them selves to the enemy in order to do their job.

I keep looking at the weapons and technology that we have here on Earth currently and in order for him to be truly effective he would need a partner, most vehicles need a driver and gunner, all aircraft big enough to transport a captive need a crew of two.  So an additional Earth weapon would be a partner.

What do you mean by mg 30? i've both held and fired an mg 42,and he would definately chose this for a heavy mg,its relatively light,but weight would not be so much of an issue for fett anyway.

I'm going to say that he would use the AK-47 mainly because of its durability, one of the toughest guns ever made.

Earth weapons in action, Fett would use similar tactics I think.

Gun threads....excellent.

In keeping with Fett's deadly and efficient nature, it is my opinion that the hunter would wield, primarily, a Fabrique Nationale P90 PDW, firing 5.7mm SS190 steel-cored NATO rounds at 900rpm from a 50 round, horizontal, above-the-barrel magazine.  The weapon can pierce 48 layers of Kevlar from 200 meters away, incredible penetration in even the Star Wars Universe.

Depending on Boba's preference of the two schools of handgun thought: Large, slow moving projectiles, as opposed small high velocity ones, I believe the best sidearm choice would be one of the following. The Fabrique Nationale Five-seveN, a high capacity handgun that fires the same SS190 rounds as the P90, making the 20-round magazine pistol a sister-weapon to the PDW; or, the Para-Ordinance P14-45 M1911 clone. The P14-45 is similar in design to the classic 1911, but sports a wider grip for a double-stacked magazine of .45 ACP rounds, giving it a maximum capacity of 14 rounds, impressive for a .45 caliber pistol. A Glock-26 compact handgun also serves as a useful terciary weapon, carried in an ankle or shoulder holster.

The normal assortment of knives and explosives is genuinely impossible to determine, as one generally operates as well as the next. However, to give popular examples, he would invoke the assistance of M67 fragmentation grenades, and perhaps bear a Marine Corps combat knife in a boot sheath. As the topic asked specifically for weapons, I shall leave it at that.

That is incredible! I have never heard of a gun so powerful.

January 12, 2007 4:20 pm #

Powerful wouldn't exactly be the word. It's....unique. Unlike other antimaterial rifles, say a big boy .50 cal, the small 5.7mm rounds the P90 fires have nearly no stopping power, shoot a man with a full burst of automatic fire, they'll penetrate clean through, meaning he'll likely keep moving with little damage to his momentum, even he's for all intensive purposes dead. It has penetration, but negligible stopping power. The center of the bullet is made of steel, which unlike lead is not nearly as maluable, and has a much higher melting point. As such the bullet keeps it's pointed shape, instead of becoming a molten slug like most rounds. The small bullet size is consequently the reason for its extremely high-capacity magazine.

Everything I've written, in this post and the last, has been solely from memory. I love these guns.

Jetpacks do, infact, exist. They do not last very long, but he could still use one.

i dont know much about body armour but the ceramic plate sounds good.also the spetchnaz kevlar body siut with little ceramic plates inside it.
he can have a steyr AUG,the one with a grenade launcher,an FN 7.62 rifle ,walther SMG,parker hale sniper rifle,glock pistol,SIG saur pistol,ruger 44 magnum revolver,the spanish mini version of the MG42,lots of grenades,some sort of remote recon device,french 66 mil rocket launcher.kukri,sykes fairburn commando knife,claymors,barnet crossbow,and some sort of short sword.the best ones are antiques.i dont know of any which are made to be used in war anymore.obviosly he wont be carring all this at once!

Boba would use the AS50 which is a semi auto sniper rifle that can shoot clean through 2 metal plates concrete and is also as acurate as a spring bolt rifle

He'd have a concealed sidearm hidden somewhere, probably a PPK.

Walther ppk? No, too weak. IMI Desert Eagle in .50AE, .44 magnum, .357 magnum. Or the Jerico 941 (a.k.a. The Baby Eagle) in 9mm, .40S&W, or  the 45ACP. He'd probably use the new dragon skin armor, it can withstand a heavy beating from 7.62x39 AP, and 5.56 AP rounds.

January 23, 2007 5:45 pm #

Ah, hadn't heard of the baby Eagle.  I was choosing the PPK because of concealability.  And since the Baby Eagle is smaller and packs much more of a punch I guess it would be the natural choice.

No way a Desert Eagle they are terrible weapons. For a close combat weapon it would have to be a Katana.

Unless there is also a gun called a katana, I do not think that Fett would use it. He never used light-sabers, so I do not see why he would use a sword. Perhaps a wakizashi.

take it easy baby take it as it comes
January 24, 2007 1:54 pm #

He has got light sabers he may have used them, but he has wrist blades and has probaby used swords or long knives in combat before. If he used a sword that is probably what he would use though.

A katana would be a waste of space. If he did use a sword, it would likely be a wakizashi, which is shorter than a katana.

January 24, 2007 4:08 pm #

I don't think Boba would use swords, the closest to blades he would use would be his wrist blades possibly a KA-BAR knife hidden in his boot.

I once had a weird dream where I saw Boba Fett fighting of a bunch of rabid moose, and he was using an MP40 and dual Colt .45s from WWII.

"None of this is really happening. There is a man. With a typewriter. This is all part of his crazy imagination."
January 31, 2007 5:09 am #

But besides that, I think that he would use a Barret M-107. That's the most powerful sniper EVER! It is so strong, one shot can cut a man in half! It can fire 7 shots in 10 seconds (or 10 shots in 7 seconds; I always mix those up so much, I'm not even sure which one is right), and has more than a mile and a half range.

WOW--um to say you guys know your weapons would be an understatement.

I don't know much about guns, but I could see him with an AK47 or Gatling gun.  As for melee weapons...I could see him using something a katana, but I do agree from previous posts that that kind of sword might be too long for his taste/use.  Pretty much anything MI  would do.

I saw this story from space.com a while back  :
http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/070104_future_warrior.html

Interesting.

Oh yeah, jetpacks do exist--did you guys see the Rose Parade this year (aside from all the Star Wars stuff AND Boba!)?  I think I read there is one kind that is powered by the quick breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by silver.  The "exhaust" is steam and oxygen.  But the flight time is limited depending on the person's carrying capacity for the necessary fuel supply.  There's a few others I read about on Wikipedia. 

I could picture Boba in a Hummer.  NOT one of those sissy Hummers that have never been off-road--a REAL Hummer.

Ohhhh reading all this, I'm getting an idea for another topic thread...

January 31, 2007 7:42 pm #

yes Jetpacks exist they've existed for a while now basically you have 2 tanks each connected by a tube that goes down and splits into 2 which are the thrusters each tank contains a different chemical one goes in first and then the othe goes in causing a small explosion carried down the pipe and creates thrust lifting you off the ground. As to which chemicals are in it 6hey are still testing many different chemicals, one of the most common though is hydrogen peroxideor some thing like that. However it is pretty big and I don't think Boba would wear it.

I could be wrong cuz this is all off the top off my head from when I read a Science Magazine. Yes, I'm into science it's what makes us know the world goes round.

I don't think sniper's would even need to fire 7 rounds in 10 seconds.  The most snipers would need would be like 5 shots at the most.  And just for the record, the farthest shot was done by a Canadian at a range of a mile and a half.  Our Canadians may not have the best equipped but we sure are trained good. ;)

Okay,my older brother who use to be a cop( some of you know him as Infamous) said that a K-bar would definately be the blade of choice.  SIG Sauer for a handgun,CAR-15( a shortie version of the M-16),and a MP5 machine pistol.They are light weight,sturdy and workman like...

Then you would add on body armor and visual and audio aids,and demolitions according to the job,and perhaps a little hazmat gear.He said Fett would want to be efficient not over burdened with unnecessary gear.Think SWAT team or Navy SEAL.
