Me flamethrower owns j00!!!:D
But Thunder, blowing things up is so much more fun!
Me=Thinks lightsabers are kewl for the first few weeks (Think The Sims) but, eventually, they all end up in the corner, while you're playing with your latest toy;)

Yea, right, the lightsaber is a weapon more suited to Samuria Jack (very kewl show) than a serious mad-man killer...thing....

You've proved your point and mine right there - I prefer the surgical accuracy of a saber over the wanton destruction of explosives or anything similar.

But what's the point in Real Life(tm) lightsabers? They don't cause any damage.

Bah, i give my Quantem tropedo™ a paint job and it wil look also look eligant:p besides the light saber maby more elgant but what good does elgancie do in battle?

[Fineus]

It might help your spelling

Besides - what good is blowing up an entire area when you only want to take one person out? It's messy. With a lightsaber and some skillz you can go in there, take your target out and be gone before anyone can retaliate.

What's the paint job for? If you fire it at someone (don't look at me) the paint job would be worthless because the paint would be gone the moment it hits it's target. Anyway, it would look a lot more scarry without paint. Making weapons isn't like the art class you have at school you know.

Well so far everyone understood me fine:)
So why use a spell checker?

[Unknown Target]

Hah! Try and take down this with a lightsaber!:D



BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

Lightsaber...
Pros - cuts anything, can be used for defence, quite (compaired to explosives), pretty colours and makes cool sound, street cred.
Cons - need training, limited range, have to be jedi, takes more effort to kill someone, don't actually exist.

Explosives...
Pros - kills a lot, damages structures, remote operation, can be home made cheaply.
Cons - not that acurate or discrete, can't be used for self defence, won't get through security at an airport.

And as for flame throwers:
Pros: toast stuff, novelty value.
Cons: doesnt kill instantly, short range,

Ideal sollution: Gun.
Pros - good range, simple to use, acurate, kills enough, can get scilencer, also some street cred.
Cons - your opponent may have one.

Take your pick.  

Personally i prefer a butchers knife, as illustrated below:

So whats your guys suggestions to make a homeamde yet presentable lightsaber with 50 bucks or less?

[Dark_4ce]

Well, how I made my ill fated saber was quite easy. I just got a metal pipe, black electric tape, some nuts and bolts, internal mechanics of a radio, and some black rubber tubing and basically fastioned it out of them. It didn't cost me more that $20 to put it all together and it looked real enough when you kept it on you're belt.

The REAL question is how can you make Stormtrooper armor with 50 bucks or less! I've been looking at all the options on how to make it, and I'm now seriously contemplating in buying myself a Kit that I have to build up, but atleast I don't have to vacuum form it, and the cheapest of these are a whopping 550 bucks!!! And in order to make one totally out of scratch, I'm gonna need help, mutual financing, and artistic support. Well, its still the beggining of summer, so maybe I could find from somewhere some Star Wars fans over here, serious enough to join me in my little project.

No, a lightsaber won't take it down. But any Jedi would just use the Force to direct the fire back at the person with the flamethrower. So

Oh yea, what about my flame-retardent suite?

Besides, not even a Jedi can defeat;

THE KIPPER CANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
(It's an old Homeworld MPlayer joke, for those of you deprived guys;))

[CP5670]

What if you fire an AAAf or something at a Jedi? The beam would be way too thick for the lightsaber to completely deflect.

[Corsair]

Then he sees it coming using the Force and dodges it.

and you know, the name of this thread could be interpreted rather wrongly...and since it's posted by thunder...."Got Wang?"
*runs*

[CP5670]

They use their lightsabers to dodge stuff, right? The saber blade would be too thin to dodge a thick AAAf beam and would only deflect parts of it, while the other bits would still hit the guy.

I was waiting for that - and the disturbing thing is it took two whole pages of discussion before someone actually mentioned it

As for the beam - they'd deflect that as well. Your forgetting that size doesn't matter - you can lift rocks and X-Wings
