Guns and weapons that resemble realistic firearms in Bionicle canon

I still have no idea why the Crast is immoral

I’ve never understood this either. It seems like such a weird power for Toa to take issue with when there’s so many other things they’re fine with using (a Mask of Fusion isn’t immoral, from memory. And Telekinesis definitely isn’t.)

To me, the difference is that Levitation disks only cancel out gravity, while the Crast can actively create a force in any direction.

Also the Crast has a more focused AOE. It has to have a more specific target, while levitation is just “repel gravity”.

It’s a plot device for the lines’ target audiences. The bad guys wear evil masks.

I think it was stated on the Shelek that Toa just dislike any Mask that is worn by any Makuta on principle, regardless of how bad the power actually is.

Then again, maybe it’s not the power itself that’s immoral but the method it is achieved by. Similar to how electricity isn’t immoral but coal power plants are?

I don’t know about that. Thok’s Ice Gun and Hakann’s Lava Launcher are the closest I’ve seen that resemble actual guns.

@Toa-of-Snow I’ve always found the Komau, Mask of Mind Control, an EXTREMELY immoral mask especially when it was used to make Krekka and Nidhiki literally destroy themselves by being thrown into Teridax’s shadow vortex.

when it was used to make Krekka and Nidhiki literally commit suicide by throwing themselves into Teridax’s shadow vortex.

Well, technically they just fell off the caravan; Teri grabbed them after they hit the road.

In that instance I agree, but the point still stands that manipulating someone’s mind has no moral issues for Toa but mentally pushing things away is despicable.

[Marzipancutter]

Morals kind of depend on culture though. The culture of the GSR is vastly different from our own so they have a completely different definition of what constitutes “moral”.

If that’s true, that’s absolutely hilarious that Jaller was completely dumbfounded by one of the most basic human inventions.

From Bionicle Legends 5: Inferno:

“The yellow-armored being who stood on the stairs holding a wicked staff could not have been further from his friend. Jaller’s eyes were drawn to the figure’s feet, which featured rounded devices that looked something like gears. The Toa of Fire could not recall seeing anyone actually standing on their gears before, though.”

The Rockoh T3 is basically a gun in set form with some extra doodads on it.
