I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they found out that Star-Wars blaster bolts fly at about 135 miles per hour, and wanted to see if I could convert that number to the equivalent a blaster bolt ODF's "Velocity" parameter can take. Does anyone know what units its measured in, and if so, how to convert miles-per-hour to these?

I believe star wars battlefront uses meters and seconds, as far as converting miles per hour to meters per second, google is your friend

It's slow: about 60m/s. I think you'll find that there is a slight difference between "Real-Life Accurate" and "Movie Accurate".

What do you mean?

Oh, never mind. Yeah, was just about to say, the rifles have their velocity set to "300". Therefore, I'm assuming this is km/h, not mps. So I just did the conversion from there and found out the number I'm looking for is 217.261 as its odf parameter. I'm actually surprised, it does seem to look more like the movies when I put that value in.

"Movie Accurate" is 60m/s. Real life accurate is up for some interpretation, being a sci-fi franchise, but if you consider what a "blaster" essentially is (a particle accelerator), you will get a very different number. Something like the Large Hadron Collider accelerates subatomic particles to about 99% the speed of light. And even early particle accelerators could reach several thousand m/s.
