I love how essentially every sci fi world has flamethrowers
If you can't shoot your enemies burn em to a crisp 🔥🔥🔥.
And best part is. Drumroll please.
There banned in the real world
Or every faction with armoured people
@@darthgamer2014 As an offensive weapon flamethrowers are pretty bad.
All flash no substance, great for niche roles and terrifying infantry but responsible for very few actual battlefield casualties.
Banning them is a bit redundant, most modern military's wouldn't actually want one.
if there are bugs then there must be flamethrowers
3:07 OMG YOU ACTUALLY MENTION IT!! I fell in love with the quad blaster when I saw it during the orignal clone wars show and it's so forgotten despite being one of the most unique and most badass sci fi heavy weapons I've ever seen!
It's also mentioned in the Republic Commando novel, Triple Zero.
Really? I just watched the 2D Clone Wars last night, and was reminded how every time I see that quad blaster it makes me shake my head. I honestly think it looks like someone’s 5 or 6 year old wanted to design a blaster for the show, and their parent had enough power to make it happen
Now we need full equipment breakdowns of the other factions!
Coming soon!

The dc-15a was the rifle in legends, the dc-15s was the carbine in legends. The dc-15a was the carbine in canon. The canon and legends versions were the same size and length
Canon has me all fucked up
and the rifle in canon is just the DC-15
Robin Swede, you can say that again
Boba Fett in one of the Clone Wars episode called the DC-15s the DC-15a (shows that he didn’t know much about GAR weaponry). I think that’s why LucasFilm went with the way of naming the blaster rifles used by the clone troopers.
FireheartSamurai, that’s what I thought

I know this sounds crazy, but could you possibly make a video covering all the clone trooper Armor mods? Like visors and Pauldrons?
Payne Gray yes
hopefully
Even though the dc series blasters could fire full auto, the clones were trained to fire single shots and only go full auto if as a last ditch effort, because the rifle would overheat.
As a GM running a Clone Wars era campaign this is all super helpful. Thanks as always!
The westar-m5 is probable my favourite mostly because I am a big fan of alpha 17 and the arc troopers
The clone army is arguably the greatest military in galactic history.
Joshua The Imperium of Man would beg to differ
@@alexr5118 wtf you doing on this vid if you're a warhammer fanboy? 😂
I mean, it kinda is, the only one that is comparable in quality is the imperial army and pound per pound the clones were just better as far as training, competence, and battlefield effectiveness goes, really the only negativr to the clone army (aside from the whole child slavery thing) was the absurd cost of it
@@TimberwolfJ1 Agreed. The mandalorians were a hell of a military too, but the clones are descended from a mandalorian and have mandalorian inspired training.
@@spongederp160 true true
Wow the PLX-1 really do be looking a lot like the fuel rod cannon
"mass driver" did for me
"I'm ready!! How bout you!!"
Wait... so the Clones' weapons were extra effective against droids, thus making them more expensive, and nobody thought it odd that they were equipped with them right form then start, even though theoretically, they shouldn't have known ahead of time that they would be fighting a droid army?
Lol good point
Ikr? They also trained to fight droids on Kamino.
True
I mean with the whole naboo take over/war it was pretty obvious to the republic what kind of enemy theyd have to arm agaisnt (just like what bunch of countries did irl to not fall behind military wise) and they had atleast 5 years to "prepare" the clone tech between that and the start of the clone wars. to the rep populace, they had no clue a clone army was in making and all of its quirks and features, nor when it was made.
I mean, it was years between the invasion on Naboo with a droid army and when arms and training for the clone army would be considered, with it being known that the separatists favored droid combatants. It wouldn't be a stretch for the Kaminoans to conclude that their clones were most likely going to be facing a prodominately droid force in that political climate.
If the Jedi or Senate were to question that point, but not WHO commissioned the clones in the first place, they'd just be bigger idiots than they were.
I remember talking to friends about the ionized bolts and them calling me crazy, I always recalled reading about this being why they were blue but was getting to the point that I thought I was not remembering correctly, is this cannon or legends?
Sounds Legends to me, possibly from the first Battlefront.
Joseph Montanaro the colour of a blasters shots changes depending on the type of gas used, red uses cheap gas, yellow uses refined, expensive gas and blue is indeed ionised
@@arranroberts1463 what does green use
Edit: nvm, green uses refined and expensive and yellow is the one mandolorians use
@@toboronicon841 no yellow is not “just the one mandolorians used”,it was the one with the highest quality by a fairly large margin, it was the premium stuff for the best of the best. Green was still high quality but not quite as good
DC-15 and DC-17M, hands down!
Though, I DEFINITELY like ALL of these weapons.
Liked and enjoyed watching this.
I will add the Z-6 minigun to that list
I prefer the legends DC-15A rifle which has a detachable scope.
Clone Wars Cartoon 2003. A Masterpiece. I love the over top Action.
I think they yellow Bolts of the Death Watch are made for penetrate Beskar steel.
It's mindless
There was a reletively unknown republic weapon used by clone shadow troopers called the dc-15e. Its bolts were much hotter and there was little to no tracers in the blaster bolts and I think it may have been suppressed as well but take that with a pinch of salt
Could you do a video of all the republic artillery/vehicles? (Ground and star fighters?) :)
So red is cheaper while blue has some advantages
It's hard to rember it. But it's neat.
Blue is basically emp ammo whereas red is normal
Green is the most powerful
@@Fives-ch1eo is that based off of fact or the death star?
@@prometheus8010 its fact. But green is also more expensive, which is why it was used heavily on imperial star destroyers and other imperial vessels. This is because the empire has more money.
Bit of a inaccuracy, the valken was actually based more on the MG-42 as you can tell by the battlefront 2 model, where the barrels are virtually identical, including the clip that allowed german gunners to remove the barrel when it overheated. great video though, the guns are often confused.
*puts Z-6 on cardboard box* I am heavy weapons trooper. And THIS is my weapon. She fires 200 credit custom tibanna cartridges at 166 rounds a second. It costs 400,000 credits to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds.
*_Oh my force who touched Sasha? Alright who touched my gun!!!_*
@@Burning-Twilight Some people think they can outsmart me? Maybe... (sniff) Maybe... I have yet to meet one who can outsmart plasma bolt. *pulls out ammo clip in front of camera*
The Westars and DC-17 and quad-blaster should be in Battlefront, even Legends stuff which I still consider Canon.
DC-17 is cannon, the commandos and their iconic kick ass weapons appeared in both one episode of TCW's and in EA's battlefront 2
I personally consider most Clone Wars Legends stuff as still canon, so long it doesn't presents serious discrepancies with TCW.
That classic pew of the early clone wars DC15 is always ingrained in my brain and wont come out, but it lives rent free as a potent reminder of the past.
Got a guess for the yellow bolts from Mandalore and the purple shots from the Geonosian fighters. I think that there are either specific mixtures relative to the planet or have different gasses mixed in due to to the harvesting process. Mando shots are probably just normal red but with a gas form of Beskar mixed in, with something similarly unique from Geonosis (their normal metals came out pink after all)
A big gun doesn't make a big man-Hevy.
I love commander thorn
I really like this style of video. Please do more for the CIS, Empire, Rebel Alliance or others.
Yeah definitely want more like this
Another fabulous video, one I didn't realize how much I needed until you made it!
So the PLX is the SPNKr of the Republic armoury; perfection
This was a delightful video!
I love how in depth these breakdowns are. This was better explained than Google
I’m torn between the DC-17 and the Z-6.
On the one hand, you can take down a B2 in one single shot,
On the other hand, you can take down a B2 in *ALL* the shots
I love your videos man. SO MUCH
The Empires weapons, armor, and vehicles are boring and bland, while the republic had all of the awesome and cool things.
God I love your videos you just itch that lore scratch I get. Amazing video!
The fact you call it a magazine instead of a clip makes you one of my favorite lore you tubers. It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme but it bugs me to death when others make that mistake
Loved this
DC-17M was awesome. God the things I would do to get another Republic Commando game.
I’ve been looking forward to this...
9:20 Correction: The Valken-38X is based upon the early model of the German FG42, with it's distinctive, extreme angled pistol grip.
Well so much for the Clones to have snipers shown in the Clone Wars.
they did in the battle for kamino fives and echo were put on overwatch duty
"A 0.05 meter hole in ferrocrete"
Assuming that’s both width and depth and given that ferrocrete is described as a combination of iron and concrete in legends.
Violent fragmentation for a concrete cylinder .05 meters across and .05 meters deep is 1,964 joules and for iron it’d be 4,166.626 joules
So in terms of energy about the same as various real world full caliber rifle rounds like .308 Winchester (~3,500 Joules) and, very appropriately for the DC-15, about the same as the 7.92x57mm Mauser round used by the MG-34 (~3,000 Joules)
0.5 meter. Not 0.05. Scale that up by ten.
Having a blaster bolt be about as powerful as a modern day ballistic round really doesnt fit with most of the other Star Wars stuff.
I double checked with the wiki. It said 0.05.
Also it wouldn't scale up by ten, it'd be a factor of 1000. Volume doesn't scale linearly, it scales exponentially.
And no, blaster bolts being that much more powerful than modern KE weapons wouldn't make sense, Star Wars weapons are not that powerful. Most of the effects we see are either comparable to modern weapons or weaker. We mostly see blasters as being roughly equal to modern firearms in everything but capacity and anything heavier tends to be rather anemic for their size.
@@redshirt0479 Always did wonder why they seem bigger and heavier considering their ammunition basically weighs nothing. Maybe its the focusing crystal and gas
Science Fiction writers cannot into scale.
My favourite weapon is DC-17 series on this one.
The MG34 is the source for the DC-15A, but the Valken rifle is actually based off of the FG42, as you can tell by the stock and angled pistol grip.
I’ve just been swallowing metanerdz content. You’ve rapidly become one of my most watched channels.
Please make a video on the trandoshans scattergun and the DE-10 blaster pistol. Thank you so much for making these videos it has helped me with my fanfiction.
Metanerdz, the Valken isn't based on the MG-34, but on the FG-42 paratrooper rifle: it has the angled grip and left side magazine of the Fallschirmgewehr.
Early version of the FG-42, and the barrel shroud of an MG-42 :)
@@gavinheimerman6320 yeah the 98k style grip, before the revolver style grip, thanks for mentioning
9:18 that sniper rifle is actually based on the FG 42 german paratrooper rifles receiver, grip and stock with the barrel and barrel shroud of an MG 42. Just a little WW2 weapon nerd info for you :D
Love clone wars
I was half expecting Fortunate Son to play during the flamethrower scene. I've seen that damn video too many times lmao
dc-17m commandos rule!
If I had a weapons factory in the Star Wars universe, I would build slug throwers/ firearms as they are far more effective on the battlefield than blasters, also you can kill Jedi and other lightsaber wielders, especially if said slug thrower is full auto
@MetaNerdz Lore
Fan theory on why Mandalorian bolts are yellow-
The Mandalorians somehow have incorporated Sodium gas into the blaster bolt. Sodium gas in Vapor Lamps emits a yellow light, Sodium as well on contact at room temperature reacts violently in exothermic fashion. So if the Mandalorians could create a system what also includes sodium gas that could hypercondensate into a solid on impact, the reaction inside any living thing with water to provide the reaction could be used as a weapon. Thoughts?
All of them are my favorites
there was a name distinction between the commando sidearm and the standard rifle, though it was minor
the capitalization was different, the DC-15S was the rifle and the DC-15s was the sidearm
FOR THE REPUBLIC
and cookies. Mainly cookies.
Do a lore episode on the eclipse class star destroyer
I am Hevy, and this is my weapon. She weighs 16 kilograms and fires custom high-ion plasma rounds at 166 rps. It costs 400,000 credits to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.
One little thing that he didn't mention although and kind of gotten incorrect though I don't mean to nitpick is that the valken sniper rifle is not in fact made from the mg34 in any capacity. It carries most of the receiver and buttstock of the fg42 which was a German paratrooper rifle, and a very rare one is that Is the Gen 1 variant which had a very swept-back pistol-grip in order to make it easier to carry, and the barrel is that of an mg42 as is evidenced by the stamped boxy Heat fin on the outside of the barrel
Idk where it's from, but I heard of a DP-24. Basically a DP-23, but instead of shotgun, it was a LMG. Not sure where it came from, but I remember seeing it in a game or two... might've been a game like Gmod, but still...
That's my personal favorite! :3
I love the DC-15 blaster rifle.
4:34-5:03 That Commando Pistol is rather similar to the Standard Jet Force Pistol from Jet Force Gemini.
The Jet Force Pistol (at it's basics when you start a new game) comes with 100 shots per magazine pack, and could rapid fire up to 7 shots before a brief recharge to ready more shots. Limiting your rapid fire was the trick to keep a decent stream going in a firefight.
If you really wanted to factor in Ammo Extensions, you could reasonably say 500-800 based on how smart you play with dividing out the upgrades between Juno, Vela, and Lupus.
As for power, the Commandos may have a stronger shot, but the Jet Force Pistol has far higher ammo capacity. The Jet Force Pistol also comes with an (unlimited, but not well specified) weaker pellet shot if regular ammo runs out and no more ammo is on hand.
Fun fact, the valken sniper rifle actually got inspiration from the FG-42, a paratrooper weapon used by the germans.
And has the barrel of a mg 42
Loved it but can u do one on the empire
I love the recupticaror quad canon
Will you do something like this for other factions?
BTW You forgot DP-23 shotgun, bolt caster and EMP launcher from original Battlefronts.
Yeah hopefully
My favourite is the DC-17M!
There are only three weapons I'd use over Republic weapons. The e11 over the dc15a, the dlt19 over the dc15 and the t21 over the quad blaster. Other than that the GAR has the best infantry weapons in star wars hand down
5:55 I thought Ahsoko is going say "racket lawnchair". You know the sound effect from Metal Slug.
Sup Meta, Could cover the Providence-class Destroyer/Carrier as a complete thorough breakdown like you did with the Lucrehulk battleship and Lucrehulk core ship?
Yeah definitely getting to that soon
Love how only in star wars a drop trooper version of a machine gun is used as a sniper rifle
10:20 ooff that outro music, it isn't bad I just miss the dog, hope the situation is fixed soon.
I think that's the wrong channel, that's eck, this is meta. But yeah that copyright thing is super bs
Valken Sniper Rifle is not based on the MG-34 it's based on the MG-42.
A fun fact is that also in Mobile Suit Gundam there's a Sniper Rifle of the Zeon Remnant forces that's based on the MG-42.
Talk about the infinity please!!
What song do you use in the background? I love it
The carbines have always bugged the hell out of me, as the folding stock pivots in front of the trigger group, guard and pistol grip? How in God’s name does that thing actually extend???
Not to mention, if despite the swing hinge it somehow rotates to the side, the thing is barely long enough to make it to the end of the rifle, so extended the rifle might be 1-2 inches longer than with it collapsed.
"Alright Clankers, Suck laser!"
If I was a clone and had a choice I would be holding a dc 15s carbine in my hands, two dc 17s in holsters, and a dc 15a slung on my back
Or I would, you know, just use a z6 heavy rotary blaster and scream “MAKE ‘EM EAT HEAT” every few seconds
Can you do a video for the Zahn Consortium
i like the valken
f in the chat for Commander thorn 2:52
Actually the valken is a combination of an mg42 and an fg42. The barrel and the covers are from the mg42 as the magazine, lower and upper receiver along with the stock are from the fg42.
So i was looking for videos about the Theta T-2c shuttle, (aka Palpatines shuttle from episode 3) but i couldn't find any. So could you maybe do one sometime?
Do another one of these for the empire
To me the dc-15A will always be the larger more powerful rilfe while the DC-15S will always be the shorter carbine cousin. while the DC-15s with a small s is the recharging pistol.
The weapons of the Grand Army of the Republic’s will be a forerunner of the Galactic Empire weapons, but make no mistake the Republic had to make shortcuts to field each Clone Troopers with the necessary weapons. Though considering the results of the weapons they gave more than what they got, and chances are that the Galactic Empire saw the results, but not what led up to those results. Had the Galactic Empire created more infantry base support weapons, and perhaps make the StormTroopers Core will be a formable fighting force.
The valken 38x is the barrel of a mg 42 and the receiver of a fg 42
Mu fave has to be the E-11D just because it sounds and looks so cool
'Quad blaster' even though it has six barrel ends.
A weapons timeline. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Rule of Acquisition #35: War is good for business.
FOR THE REUBLIC!!!
The Valkin uses the receiver section of an FG-42 not an MG-34.
Personally I think the dual pistols wouldve been better choice for Skipio, akimbo fire in both front and behind, more then likely wouldve still died but he'd have survived a bit longer
2:23 It costs 400,000 credits to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds.
other the z6 rotary cannon is my favorite
though obviously not perfect, i feel like the battlefront games are one of the best sources for info on blasters in star wars
