The meme of "slugthrowers" (i.e. real world guns) as a hard counter to Jedi/Sith completely falls apart when anyone remembers that they have the Force and not just lightsabers.
They have precognitive abilities that give them the superhuman reflexes to dodge. And telekinesis abilities to stop a bullet in midair or redirect it. They can also just yoink your gun out of your hands. Or crush the barrel of it. Hell if we're talking about the Sith they'll just crush your throat instead. The only way you're getting an advantage over them using a gun is if you can distract/confuse them or overwhelm them with sheer numbers of attackers.
Which is exactly the same as if you used a blaster. Or any weapon. Slugthrowers aren't special.
IIRC, one of the reasons it was so impressive that Kylo Ren stopped a blaster bolt in midair and held it there is because, being a laser, there's very little to hold onto. A bullet is a much more solid thing, not to mention it won't move as fast as literal light.
I also see absolutely no reason why the force wouldn't warn a jedi to not try to deflect bullets with their lightsaber. Someone shooting bullets at a jedi should just end up with a wall of bullets coming to a stop in front of them, Matrix style.
