Isnt that irrelivant since it would count for all weapons? (except axe maybe)

Well, i don't know. My guess would be MA would take the no-effort approach and just make all laser carbines, pistols, and rifles nonfunctional. If they instead, say, made all melee weapons that do elemental damage nonfunctional, it would leave the axes and blades like Katsuchi, Slo, and whatnot. Iirc, most of the first manufactured series of SIB blades produced simple metallic weapons. It's only the more recent ones that are light sabers, and the original tt Castorian blades, fists, etc. are all electric.

I think people are reading too much into the "medieval planet" comment. As I understood it, they just used a medieval style planet as an example that's very easy to understand for everyone. On a medieval planet there would be wooden bows and steel swords instead of the laser rifles and energy weapons we have now. If a medieval planet actually was to be created I think very very few things from our current universe would be usable there. Not even nano katana and such that require refined oil and other materials that wouldn't be aviable in such a place.
Perhaps the axes and thorio clubs but I figure it's more likely they won't allow you to bring any items at all there and let the creators of the planet make suitable items for that environment. The only advantage the ubers would get then would be a big wallet, high attributes, general skills and some combat skills. Probably most of the melee skills and few of the ranged ones.
