The Mandalorian has an awesome new weapon. Not a blaster, lightsaber, or even bo-rifle, but a Star Wars weapon banned by the Imperial Senate. A disruptor rifle. See how it worked, how it was used throughout Star Wars history, and why the Mandalorians used them. Also some speculation as to how The Mandalorian came to own one.

Just to be clear the whole time and neuron part is from the lore saying how "excruciating" death by disruptor was. My BS degree was neuroscience focused, worked in a neuro lab so I know how parts of the explanation are silly. But it's much less of a suspense than accepting other SW realities like hyperdrives. People often confuse what I think vs me giving the best explanation of the lore.
i was wondering if you think there should be some variations of the mandalorian armor
Sir Archiver MetaNerdz Lore as I have fought on many different planets and have seen different weapons in those battles what are those weapons that are shown in your weapons briefing at the time of 3:55 . I know of some such weapons such as land mines and I have head of biological warfare of the blue shadow virus from a brother and we have been trained for gas attacks but what does it say on the ammunition i don't recognize that type of writing, why is a sniper rifle banned,why is their a crab droid leg next to a bunch of thermal detonators?
I always interpreted "No disintegrations" as saying they weren't allowed to just blow them out of the sky.
I know what you mean. I definitely am not criticizing you and I'm sorry if I came across that way. I know that the lore comes from other sources and I like your channel for condensing and sharing it. I just remember growing up before the excessive amounts of lore that has to seemingly explain away every little thing making such galactic issues of such small things. It's kind of amusing but at the same time annoying.
This is one of those cases where I think the lore got carried away and forgot that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
MetaNerdz Lore the one thing is though that the time between getting shot and being disintegrated seems so short that any perceived slowing down of time would still not feel like it would last longer than an instance. Hell, seeing how fast the Jawa went up I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t feel a thing.
Empire: *bans disruptor rifles”
Also Empire: “We’re going to build the Death Star”
Derek haha lol nice but yah it was more so as a political power statement and to stop the rebellion. it b was never meant to be used much at all.
joe dem elfie “never meant to be used” - Palpatin had a manic cackle out of that one.
Also empire: tries to mass produce the t7 ion disruptor
VladTutushkin well no galaxy to rule over if you use it all the time. I mean it was more a scare terror to help rule tactic. keep the Senate in line. blowing up planets is not good business. not much to rule. you could just destroy cities area too. it was more for shock and awe.
VladTutushkin funny though yes. lol
Star Wars: Where throw-away lines inspire cascading lore about everything.
"No Disintegrations" ISN'T a throw-away line. It is a restriction Vader placed on the people he was hiring to do a job because he wanted the crew of the Falcon ALIVE.
I’d also have to agree with Seeger, Vader knew he would find more value in retrieving the crew of the Falcon alive in order to further improve his chances of drawing Luke to him. If they were dead or disintegrated he’d lose the leverage necessary to force him to come to him.
Yeah, like how in the first Star Wars Obi wan says to Luke some throw away line about "the clone wars". Little did they know those words would shape more than half of the franchise.
@@NeSeeger Yes. A throwaway line, since that was obvious anyway. It clearly had nothing to do with outlawed Mandalorian weapons, at the time it was written
@@j.fragoso7451 Or, much worse: "Vader killed your father". George had no fucking CLUE at the time he wrote that, that Vader was going to be Luke's father. If he says he does, he's talking out of his ass - the same place he pulls his dialogue from. So it had to be retconned in Jedi with that God-awful "from a certain point of view" excuse. I guess appearing as a blue ghost is returning "more powerful than you can possibly imagine"...from a certain point of view.
I really like the Mandalorian's rifle. Looks like something out of the original trilogy when they took real life weapons and space-ified them.
They did that? That’s awesome!
@@guibin those guns were cheap war junk, decommissioned weapons, they were stripped of some internal parts to not be in working condition.
@@guibin also that one guy on hoth had a fuckin sturmgewehr 44!!!! Those cheeky Bastards just took everything they could get for as cheap as possible and made it look badass
The mandalorians blaster is also a real gun. A Bergman No. 1 th-cam.com/video/JvGa2c3rEuE/w-d-xo.html
Thats not enturely true because I have seen the footage of them shooting blanks in the tantive IV scene
*When Vader tells Boba no disintegrations you can imagine the utter “Aw come on” on his face*
I always thought why would a bounty hunter use disintegrations when you usually either need the bounty alive or at least some proof of death to receive credit.
@@stevendelaney8140 Probably the recording from his helmet was enough... Plus he's a Mando, assuming canon hasn't totally butchered the mando's their word is as good as your credits.
KMCA779 so uh, boba and jango are no longer mandolorians according to Disney’s new lore
@@Heiryuu yeah they are apparently just common bkunty hunters who found/stole a mando's armor
tycho goedhart it kinda feels like a JK Rowling style addition to the lore, like nothing was gained with this new information.
I knew that was a disrupter by the time the second Jawa became a puff of Hoo Tini.
Its *Uttini*
@@DARS_04 what did you call my Mother?
Stick and stones, gentlemen. Sticks and stones...
@@lillyanneserrelio2187 Wait... why are we bringing up tuskan raiders in a discussion about Jawas?
The Jawas deserved it. They are literally the equivalent of coyotes. Just pests.
The Empire: **bans disruption rifles**
Also the Empire: creates a deadly bio weapon that turns people into zombies.
And a battlestation that destroys planets
Sounds like my type of weapon!

Lord Vader current days nonsensical writing - all is forgiven if you look sad or switch sides at the very end.
I think Kallus is one of the better written characters of the show. He was traumatized which caused the use of the T7s. As he continued working, he saw more gruesome ways the empire works causing a defection.
TallGiraffe nah. He kicked that trooper off the ledge in the first episode so fuck that guy
@@Dankdalorde If Vader, a genocidal space Hitler, can be redeemed, anyone can.
@@diarmuidlyonsnolan8687 well he wasnt really "redeemed" he might have being redeemed in the eyes of Luk but rest of the Rebellion still hated him.

This wouldn't be super painful.
As everything gets separated, your neurons would be separated as well...
Maybe it's a case of it spreading from the initial point of Impact
Dejion Jon have u experienced it?
@@_spooT
No I have not, but neither has the person making this video...
I am just using the logic he used in order to justify it being so painful, except I am not trying to make it fit the canon.
@Darth Revan more greivouse than a blaster or lightsaber?
Judging by how fast that thing disintegrate it's victim, I doubt that we even had time to register the pain.
On the one hand, it's a little scary to know that there was a weapon so nasty that even the Sith said "that's too harsh to use". On the other hand, in the real world, the crossbow was considered so lethal that at least one Pope tried to ban their use during the Middle Ages, so there's some serious precedent here...
Mandalorian Weapons are the best in the galaxy. SUCK IT BLAST TECH!
I mean they got banned by most people so that must mean something
We better see some of those yellow blaster bolts later on in the series
And their armor too, even the empire couldn’t replicate the toughness of Mandolorian iron. It’s the only armor that can completely deflect a blaster bolt.
@@Birbucifer thats why mandolorians are able to take on jedis
@@Birbucifer most of aal they cant deflect a flamthrower if they grapple there hands as well they cant use the force
My man thanks for this video. I been doing an abridged version of The Mandalorian and it's going to be SO fun to bring up how brutal this weapon is on those poor jawas bahahaha!
It's been 8 months since this comment. How's mandalorian abridged coming along?
@@elykspuz6596 Unfortunately it didn't end up being something popular the internet enjoyed other then me and my fans haha! I'm hoping to do another batch of episodes for my xmas special. It's such a shame too cause I really enjoy making these little things.
@@rawb After taking a look at it i can say that although you're obviously putting in the effort, the writing and "joke" structure of your abridged series is too random and not really based on anything to be well liked by a broader audience.
If you look at more popular abridged series like DBZ abridged, SAO Abridged and Hellsing Ultimate Abridged (now the people are the golden examples of Abridging and writing a series so don't be discouraged about their level of production) they have rewritten entire characters and let their jokes stick to how their characters and personalities of said characters are written.
Their abridged characters still go trough their own personality growths and character plot just as the original characters have.
Although you're already at a bit of a disadvantage by not abridging an animated show :')
Not trying to flame you, just giving you some tips on storytelling and character development and stuff. :)
No need to follow any of it if you don't want to, just Keep doing what you love/enjoy my dude.
@@shadeymcbones6707 I think this exact opinion could be applied to dvz abridged if you only watch a few episodes. The mandalorian doesn't have a lot of "character" development in it so it can't possible occur in those first half dozen episodes where he is by himself doing nothing but walking around ya know? It isn't till he meets up with the IG unit that you can start to do those stories.
I appreciate the long feedback my man, but tbh it's nothing to do with "joke" structure and everything to do with just the way the internet works. Sometimes it doesn't matter how funny or unfunny something is, you can't control if it gets popular or not.
I made top10numbers.com for example in 2017 and it didn't blow up until 2019 when some other random youtubers/streamers started watching the video on stream. I bet you if you watched through the IG parts where they get baby yoda you would see that char developement your looking for slowly.
Oh my gosh Old Man! I’ve been watching you for a decade and I’ve never seen a comment from you in the wild outside your own video. Nice.
The fun thing is...
Every direct energy weapon works by splitting molecular bonds. Give any molecule enough energy so that it's thermal vibration becomes stronger than bonds holding it together and it will break from structural lattice and become liquid, vapor, or ever fall apart completely or reacts with something else.
So, in the end of the day ... disruptor rifle IS just a very powerful blaster. It is very powerful and compact in the same time, somehow.
4:10 baby yoda just watching his manadolorian adoptive father disintegrate jawas and casually load back up and take a few more shots at jawas while at the same time sitting calmly in his floating chair
Ive got a new headcanoon. Din's disruptor rifle was found and stolen by Jawas after Boba's "passing" and Din later bought it on the black market
Disruptor rifles or weapons, would be similar to, spontaneous combustion. So, Darth Vader's famous line to Boba Fett, back in 80', about 'No disintegrations' makes so much since, now in the context of star wars, series-movies, universe.
The Varon-T Disruptor mentioned and seen once in Star Trek: The Next Generation ("The Most Toys") strikes me as having been a loose basis for a lot of this expanded lore on the weapon type in Star Wars. Granted, it didn't instantly vaporize its victims but rather visibly showed them in agony as the disruption effect spread and ultimately consumed their body. Funny enough, the Romulan disruptors were shown to act much the same way (TNG: "Face of the Enemy", "Timescape"), yet the Varon-T was the only weapon of its class that was banned by every major power in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
i like how vader draws the line at disintegrating people but literally vaporizes entire planets to make a point
It was Tarkin who destroyed the planet.
While the disruptor sounds incredibly painful on paper, it is important to remember that the human brain is not perfect. It takes time for our brains to process any stimuli it is subject to including pain. If you analyse what happens to flesh when subject to a bullet wound, the implications should be excrutiating and it is but not until after a few seconds. The shock of being shot is utterly incomprehensible to the human brain which has, in most cases, never experienced anything quite like it and so processing the information takes time and there are many recounts by gunshot victems saying they didn't even notice they had been shot until a few seconds later. A disruptor weapon would theoretically be similar in that the brain would not be able to process what's happening to the body very quickly and you would quite certainly be dead before it did so what I am getting at is that a death by one of these weapons would be completely painless. Forgeting bullets and brain processing time for a moment; in the video the pain is likened to that resulting of a burn, but the funny thing about burns is that the pain actually decreases with the severity as nerves are incinerated and can no longer relay any information to the brain. If the bodys nervous system was simultainiously destroyed as the video suggests, exactly from where is the information for the brain to process as pain even supposed to come from?
0:12 WAS THAT A BABY YODA?!?!
You've not heard?
Uhm... no?
Someone needs to watch the mandalorian
Don't have Disney+ yet.
John Buczkowski You are missing out... if you live outside the US, you can theoretically get a VPN to watch it “from the US”.
Empire: bans all disrupters
Also Empire: Builds Death Star that contains a weapon strong enough to explode/disintegrate planets
do disruptors need casings? It seemed like Mando's needed to load casings like a breech-loading rifle so I guess it needs to be in some sort of casing, which would be neat if these futuristic guns needed something like that. Maybe have a disruptor that looks like a revolve, a shotgun or a lever-action rifle
Wild western reaches of the galaxy, now featuring disruptors!
I need a COME AND TAKE IT flag with a disruptor rifle.
rewatching the clone wars series, i just noticed that the umbarans use disintegraters (atleast disintegrate-like weaponry) in their giant cannon walkers. in the second episode of the umbara arc at 11:46, several clones get hit and disintegrate into blue puffs of smoke D:
The mando’s disruptor is not a rapid fire weapon. It is a trap door breach loader which is very powerful, but a single shot. So there is a balance in the Mandalorian show. High powered weapon with a slow rate of fire.
The rl weapon shown at the end was a emp type weapon in development for on the field electrical warfare and would have next to no use on a human target and the target would not know if he was being hit with this anti drone weapon. Although until laser tech becomes advanced enough to disintegrate flesh (lol what do you know) it is band from war for causing unnecessary suffering and overall won't kill.
Here's why I would totally use one:
i would think to myself, "how exactly did they know what being disintegrated felt like if there wasnt anybody alive to ask?"
and then start blastin.
also since I had a Disruptor weapons, anyone that disagreed would get blasted.
Since playing the games as a kid, its definitely in my top 3 firing weapons in the star wars universe. My favorite could be the DLT-19.
They need an open world bounty hunter Star Wars game with these weapons as the most OP in the game.
The Mando’s gun reminds me of the Martini Henry from BF1. One shot, every hit is a kill.
Jedi Knight games had the Disruptor and it was hilarious. It wouldn't delete someone in a puff of smoke like this show, but it's like they got reverse-scanned
You missed Luke's aunt and uncle being killed by Disruptors. That's why Vader said that to Fett. It's heavily implied that Boba Fett was the one sent to kill Luke by the Emperor. Vader, not wanting this fate for his son, even unconsciously, had to have been incensed. But couldn't reveal this, and simply told Fett not to use it. Fett tried to anyways against Chewbacca and Leia, in Empire, and Vader actually stopped Fett from firing.
Awesome! I'll take one! How many Cloakshapes you want?
Boba Fett uses disruptor rifle. An octillion molecular bonds are instantaneously released, vaporizing the Jawa, Boba Fett, and the surrounding countryside.
Just to be clear these rifles are my jam and epstein didnt kill himself
Conspiracy Theory: Obi-Wan Kenobi did a disappearing magic trick using a disruptor rifle when Darth Vader “killed” him.
Yeah I'd love to hear more about disruptors.
Klingons and most other civilizations in the galaxy prefer disruptors, but the Federation has adopted phaser weapons since phasers can be used as tools should the need arise, for example, heating rocks for warmth or cleaning alien graffiti off the hull of a starship.
Leaves just the clothes... Omg it's a force ghost rifle
that "slow down of time" doesn't actually happen. it's just that the events are recorded in more detail in your memory, making you think they lasted longer in retrospect. at the rate of disintegration in this move, you would cease to exist before you felt anything, and likely even before you registered the flash of light from the firing weapon. completely painless. the electrical/chemical signals of your nerve simply can't travel anywhere near that fast.
Empire: the disrupter is the most powerful weapon we need it out
Also the empire: I want a massive cannon that will take out a planet in a second
.. Funny how he all of a sudden doesn't use it in episode 5..
The shock tip also seems to be made of beskar on this Mandalorians long weapon.
Low rate of fier. A mini distributor gun would be a great special effect.
Damn I don't know why this was recommended to me, but shit. Now I wanna watch the Mandalorian just because of fucking metal this video made the weapon out to be. Thanks!
It was overkill vs Jawas, but I don't think you could actually feel it, given how quickly those little critters simply disappeared. Nerves don't transmit pain faster than that thing burns you up.
And those shock prods seem very useful against ...
BIGGER targets!!
"balls of energy that could clear an entire room"
BFG 9000 intensifies
What really bugs me is why the disruptor rifle causes jawas to basically instantly disappear but has essentially no effect at all on a bigger foe, like a sand dragon. Surely it should at the very least disintegrate a jawa sized chunk of sand dragon flesh, right?
The gun in the thumbnail looks like an ol sks pretty neat considering most star wars weapons are based around guns from ww2
In other words a quick death isn't always a painless one.
Mandelorians: "you can have my disruptor rifle once you've pried from my cold dead fingers"
Baby Yoda just casually watching the mandalorian commit war crimes
When vader said no disintegrations to boba he was meaning he wanted him alive not dead nothing to do with a type of weapon
So the disrupter somehow differentiates the organic body from the clothes / armour (which can be made up of thousands of different metals and fabrics)... Right
Some broken bones will result in an overload of pain ends up with no pain at all as the brain can't handle it.
If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel laser gun. Have the shells for a 12-gauge laser gun, and I promise you as I told my wife, we live in an area that’s wooded and somewhat secluded. I said, Jill if there’s ever problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, put that double-barrel laser gun and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you whoever’s coming in is not going. You don't need a disruptor. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a laser gun. Buy a laser gun. ~Viceroy Joe
Boba Fett carries the "exact" same rifle in appearance as Mando does ... this gives the theory that some Mando clan is producing them are at least passing around blue prints on how to build them.
So the weapon separates molecular bonds but doesn’t affect clothing?
If I recall correctly, it's not like if Luke actually personally arms you with a disruptor rifle, you pick it up on your quest along the way. :)
NIce Zat'nik'tel
Excellent!!! And the vid is short ty cus don't have to sit through ads. Ty.
I think Vader said "No disintegrations" because the whole point of it all was to capture and use them to draw Luke in. That couldn't be achieved if they were disintegrated. Also... would Boba Fett be able to collect the bounty? How could he prove that he killed them?
Im going to have to disagree with the extreme pain part. It looks like the target is completely destroyed in about a tenth of a second. Compaired to Pain signals which actually travel pretty slow (around 0.6 meters per second) so they wont event reach the brain in time to register. This is only for humans of course, but we can probally assume that most other creatures have similar nervous systems to us.
So basically its the same thing as the disintegration beams that the martians used in War Of The World’s
EP 3 ? anyone? that shootout scene was god tier. i have spoken.
I like how the rifle is sort of like a break action. =D
So basically Golden Experience's ability used against a person with added disintegration
Funny, because speed of neurotransmission (the ability of neurons to interact and therefore form sensation) is anywhere between 1-100m/s. The disruption seems to happen very much faster than that, with the disruption wafefront at a speed anywhere between 1000-6000m/s outracing any sensation propagation, it would be impossible to feel the disruption at all. And the „time slowing“ effect is an artifact of memory, it appears that way in retrospect because of the massive release of adrenaline and aftershock changing the flavor of the memory engram.
Nice to see the Senate making completely unscientific decisions to ban most possibly the most merciful and painless weapon in existence (disruptors) in favor of other weapons that maim and injure in agonizing painful slow ways (blasters). Kind of how politicians fearmonger about vaping, while completely ignoring the massive suffering and death caused by smoking.
How do you get proof of termination if your bounty is totally disintegrated? Capture the residual smoke?
I'd imagine the Mandi bois had no shortage of gunsmiths and other weapon manufacturers that produced or modified these guns
Empire: Bans disruptor weapons.
Also Empire: Creates a weapon specifically for destroying entire planets.
The Mandalorian *has badass disruptor rifle*: So anyways, I started blasting.
Reminded me of a forgotten memory when i saw this. Sniping for clan wars online in Jedi Academy
I still preffer to think of them as budget "Big Fucking Gun"s
Now I’m confused. Isn’t it called the Amban phase-pulse blaster
I mean, it was probably banned because it can kill anything within a second
I mean, it makes sense. At least with the Death Star, it was over in a second. It didn't slow down your perception of time so that you could really feel everything in your body melt away and explode, while also seeing the same happen to your home and everyone around you.
Every storm trooper needs one.
(After killing someone by disintegration)
"So how did it feel, did it seem like time slowed down or anything cool?"
Seems bizarre that even when ruled by the dark side these would be outlawed. The time slowing down thing just feels like lore nobody asked for. But i guess it makes sense as a reason for not everybody to carry them
That's take care of victim's burial or cremation dilemma ... 🕯
If the disruptor disintegrates ALL molecular bondinds inside the body, this also affects the neurons of the brain. So, even if it would cause incredible pain, there is in the same moment nothing left to recognize this.
I'll bet it was because they wanted to keep track of how many of their troopers were getting killed. Can't really ID a corpse when it's a pile of dust.
Warhammer 40K - The Necron dynasties use Gauss flayer rifles/weapons, and is much the same principle of breaking the victim down to its constituant atoms... and it too is excruciatingly painful!! The Emperor protects...
I think where the excruciating pain comes into play is if you don't vaporize your victim on the first shot. Hate to think how many Rodians I shot several times in Jedi Academy.
thanks bro
one question though why would a bounty hunter who relies on a body or some form of identification and guarantee of death. why would you disintegrate your bounty?
I always thought the weapon was a nod to the sniper rifle from Unreal
If it was a slow disintegration it would be inhumane, but seeing as they disintegrate in a few seconds I doubt they feel much at all. The nervous system would overload and go blank, essentially feeling nothing with that much input. Compare that with being set on fire which takes longer to die and you can hear the person suffer as all of their cells and nerves are being burnt away.
So how do they know what the actual victims feel? Did somebody ask them? Maybe a Jedi was killed and then his force ghost told everyone: "Yeah, about that friggin rifle. It hurts much when you are killed and you feel like it takes a long time, so pls stop using it!"
Wasn't it part of the lore that it didn't matter where you hit with this blaster it would always be a 1 shot 1 kill. Like if you shot someone in the foot with a normal blaster they would just loose their foot, but if they got shot in the pinky toe with the disrupter they wouldn't stand a chance
In the Star War's RPG you can us the desrotor weapons! But how they explain it is confusing to me! Oh and I never used one in game I there.
If you have a question about Star Wars, that begins with "Why", the answer is usually, "To fix yet another screw-up or inconsistency or failure of logic, caused by shitty lazy writing".
Q: "Why was C3P0's memory wiped" A: "Because George wanted him in the prequels, but needed to explain why he didn't recognize Obi-Wan in Episode IV" (Though this doesn't explain why Obi-Wan wasn't like: "Hey! It's the two droids I shared many life-or-death adventuires with over the course of three movies!")
This weapon being banned by the Empire, is the answer/fix to the question/shitty writing: "If this weapon exists and can do all that, why are the Empire trying to rule the galaxy using storm troopers armed with pea shooters"
The whole saga is filled with lines of dialogue that only exist in order to fix or retcon something caused by pure lazy-ass writing..."from a certain point of view".
Disruptor use should be limited, except on Gungans, ofc.
I hear they are difficult to deflect with light sabers...
Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good...
It looks like a cycle rifle converted into a disruptor rifle
On a sidenote: if you would get evaporated instantly, your pain receptors wouldnt be able to transfer the signal to the brain if the nerve system and the brain get evaporated instantanious, then you would have to see a delay aka the brain and nerves hang for a second before they dissapeared. :p
So getting shot with a disruptor feels like salvia?
