"One second after they had fired, the flechettes had quickly exploded." You mean they spread out to cover that one meter radius, right, and not actually explode like tiny grenades?
And about that one meter radius, at point blank range the diameter of flechettes would be measured in inches, not feet. A one meter radius would mean a 6foot diameter right out of the barrel, and I'm pretty sure that's not possible unless it's some kinda crazy OP blunderbuss.

Description:
The Strati Flechette Pistol Model of 1,203, commonly known as the SFPM-23 or simply the SFPM, is the latest in a series of small arms designed by up-and-coming weapons engineer Lorn Eth’Alt’Mer. Designed for those who want the power of a shotgun with the portability and concealability of a pistol, it is the perfect personal defense weapon. Its ammunition is comprised of smart-fuzed, gas propelled shrapnel pellets which, upon reaching four meters from a target, explode, releasing eight 3 mm long micro-flechettes in a shotgun style spread. These flechettes are propelled forward with into a meter-wide radius with enough force to penetrate medium and light armor and still prove lethal up to fifty meters away. For those wishing a less-than-lethal approach, special hardened rubber-coated projectiles designed to stun and inflict pain rather than wound or kill are available.
It should be noted that there are three drawbacks to the pistol. First, while capable of downing most opponents in medium or light armor, it does not have the force to penetrate heavy armor or vests, being too small to deliver the kind of firepower necessary to do so. Second, its effective range is limited in comparison to other pistols of its size, being most effective at 50 meters and under. Third, the amount of ammunition per clip is rather limited when compared to blasters, being able to fire a maximum of nine rounds before reloading. When purchasing and using the SFPM-23, one should be thus be very mindful of its limitations.
Despite its drawbacks, however, the SFPM excels at what it was designed to do-kill or disable at a close range. From bounty hunters to law enforcement, from civilians to soldiers, from Force Sensitives to those without, the SFPM is a weapon one can count on to get through the day.

It doesn't have to achieve that kind of spread, but would the flechettes be moving to do that, per the tech profile? Yes.That's great, thanks for the tech sheet, but we're talking about point blank range here, there's just not enough time or distance for it to achieve that kind of spread. 6 feet wide at less that 3 feet away? No way that's happening.
And that point blank distance is far too short for the smart-fuze to gauge where 4 meters would be since the distance is far less than that, I contend that it wouldn't explode at all, and if it did it would be 4 meters behind me.
Since you don't want to be arguing about semantics, I won't respond to your first point."upon reaching four meters from a target" implies that it needs to get to that four meter distance for the smart-fuze to know to explode, which isn't the same as "within four meters of a target", maybe it should be revised to say "at and within a 4 meter proximity". But I'm not going to waste my time arguing semantics, I just wanted to know what exactly I was dealing with.
Nah, my man, no need.I don't mind using a Sil-50 sonic pistol
Not sure if I missed that or completely forgot. oh well, my bad.This is a no death-thread. .
The speed was used before the shot was fired, momentum did the rest.Secondly, how is it with most of the flechettes hitting the intended spot, and the fact that your dealing with massive internal bleeding that you are still able to use a force enhanced speed.
Niish won't have to die. This was designed to be a capture thread, and him dying would be in violation of the fact that this isn't death-enabled.Not sure if I missed that or completely forgot. oh well, my bad.

Now that I've been reminded that this is death-disabled, I've lost all interest.
Niish is bleeding out and soon to die..eerr..fall unconscious. You win.
I didn't violate the thread in any manner, considering that I offered to use my sonic pistol which would have made you go unconscious. You yourself stated that I didn't need to use it. I never did anything to violate the thread.I admit that I failed to realize this was death-disabled, but you didn't and tried to shred my internal organs anyway which would typically result in a slow death. So I suppose that makes us both in violation.
SW Wookipidea's page on force sight states that it does enhances the reflexes. I also stated that it was in the beginning second of you moving to the left, so it would certainly disrupt your concentration since your having multiple flechettes pierce you.I don't know what you think Force Sight does but I'm pretty sure being able to see through the Force doesn't enhance reflexes, and it surely doesn't disrupt me from doing anything. Even if it did, disrupting my concentration or my Force speed is the same as interrupting an attack: it needs to be attempted.
Yap, that is the plan. I'll work on a post right now.f you like, just say you used your sonic pistol and knocked me out, which would deactivate my saber before it hit you = No deaths, easy capture.
