Who would win in a fight, a Wookie or a Klingon?

About the numbers, IIRC, the difference is sometimes several zero's. Now it's a big difference if you have a gun that shoots with 10 Volts, or 10.000 Volts... (just a quick example)

Efficiency talks about how much energy is put to work.

The numbers on the vs site talk about the energy put to work. I deduct this because the creator of the site made those nubmers based on visual evidence given in the canon films. Basically he took a video of a nuclear explosion and calculated the energy put to work during that explosion.

Even if I'm wrong here, an acclamtor transport light guns would have to be 0.000000012% efficient to match the Enterprise D's main phasers.

A YT-3000 could probably mop up the entire Feddies fleet...

Shame on you if you don't know what a YT-3000 is!

the example i gave still stands regardless of zeros. A 1 GHZ difference means a difference of 1 billion cycles per second. Is that enough zeroes for you?
I'm just saying they can be working on different scales

Mikey Wongmonster used the same scale of measurment to calculate the destructive force of both weapons.

Again, its based on different architecture. Lasers aren't explosive, how can you use a nuclear explosion to measure it? the laser would just cuase something else to ignite and thats what explodes.
Its like the military's use of the Daisy cutter. It has a smaller payload but would do more damage than a exponentially larger surface explosion.

Edit: Aramor you're not even making a decent arguement. What about when things are measured in terrawatts? that differnce won't matter.

This would indeed be a hell of a fight, but I think I'd have to go with Klingons on this...

First of all, as was stated above, Klingon culture is centered around being a race of warriors. From an early age, they devote their time to such martial activities as hunting, combat training, and sparring. A Klingon child is not considered a man until he can hold a weapon. Wookies, on the other hand, are above all a peaceful race. They are certainly strong and tend to be aggressive when pissed off, but they do not have the extent of training that all Klingon warriors have.

Secondly, Klingons have an enormously high pain threshold. The Klingon "Rite of Ascension," the passage of which allows a Klingon youth to enter the adult world and take on adult responsibilities involves walking through a gauntlet of men with painstiks, the effects of which have been described as the sensation of having all of your flesh burned off, every muscle in your body cramping, and waves of nausea running through you. They must pass between 5 or 6 pairs of men armed with these devices during the ceremony. Also, the Klingon "bachelor party" is an entire night of self-denial and physical purgatory. Wookies have no such cultural distinctions (that have been revealed), and while their size and strength does allow for a higher pain threshold than many humanoids, the durability of the Klingon is not something to be taken lightly.

Furthermore, there is the issue of size. Wookies are strong, and appear to be agile in Ep. III, but what we see of them is without any smaller humanoids for comparison. Klingons, having trained in combat methods, techniques, and strategies are faster and more agile. Just as a black belt will defeat an unskilled brawler with ease, a Klingon would be able to do the same with his training.

Also, I take a mild offense to the description of Klingons has "hippies." Klingons are about as far from being hippies as one can possibly get. Sure they have long hair, but so what? Hippies are, by most peoples' definition, peace-loving. Klingons are a race of war-mongerers. How in the name of Hell can you get "hippy" from anything Klingons do?

I will not, however, dispute the comment about drunkenness... Klingons do like their Warnog.

In any event, I believe the Klingons' superior training, higher agility, and warrior heritage make them the superior fighters. Brute strength only goes so far...

ConnMan, beautiful analysis, but I feel there is a point worth revising.

Yeah, on paper, I have to give it to the Klingon.
But I have seeing Worf get tossed around constanly, and I have witnessed Klingons get their asses kicked on a regular basis by Stafleet officers, so I had to go with the Wookie. I know, it's just a matter of bending whatever rules and ignoring any precedents in order to write an episode, but it leaves an impression.

If I remember correctly from the old Star Wars RPG Wookiees were the strongest sentient species in the galaxy, therefore in hand to hand the Wookiee would have the advantage. Armed with a blade or similar, the Klingon's lifetime of martial training would probably give them the edge.

Yup, it always pissed me off to no end.

Now I am reminded very clearly of how the klingons were practically lining up for getting their asses kicked by a little bajoran girl. Sadness indeed.

Bat'lath, Bird of prey, Disrupter pistol, all the countless weapons of ass-kickery that never get named. A Klingon would slaughter any wookie s/he came across. Twisted Evil

Wookie, no match. Especially a wookie from Republic Commando, those things were huge!

Wookie vs. Klingon? Why didn't you added "Yoda" in the answering options?
