Xy: That's generally been my thesis as well.
As far as how long it would take to disintegrate a bullet? Well, according to my model (and all caveats apply), a lightsaber generates 4.6 million Kelvin of heat per second. So a very small fraction of a second would be enough to disintegrate most materials. Problem is that bullets travel far faster than even that.
Interesting and this seems to fit what lightsabers are the best. Glad to see someone else is fascinated by accurate scientific explanations on this forum, instead of being worried about it. I always figured that if you look at the effects of the saber you can use inductive reasoning to apply the science and get something that works. People are so scared of inductive reasoning nowadays :(
