I just thought it was implied with the others, since they just kept knocking everyone out in the movie; can't confirm either way, since Frieza vaporized his entire army after that one guy begged for his forgiveness.

We don't know if they were just being knocked out or killed. Ten did Kikoho a whole bunch of them, and Jaco got another group eaten by a fish.

How does getting eaten by an earth fish kill folks with a power level in the 1000-2000 range?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Whenever I get around to it, I can't decide whether I want to skip Resurrection 'F' in my movies and just go straight from Battle of Gods to Universe 6, or adapt it and add in Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Mr. Buu, Goten, and Trunks and really try to make it great.

On the one hand, Resurrection 'F' kind of doesn't serve a purpose in the greater narrative and is just wasting time that could be used on exploring the other Universes. On the other, the arc provides a fantastic opportunity to actually have the side characters do something and be awesome that neither Battle of Gods nor the U6 tournament have, and Freeza coming back and his fight with Goku is legitimately pretty cool.

Well Jaco's first real part of that fight had him shoot a bunch of people in the shins with his laser gun...which led to them falling over in pain whimpering about it.

His laser was clearly powerful.

Also, he does hit a few of them and knock them out apparently, so there's the implication that his base Strength is pretty high.

The same way the Most Powerful Snake in the Universe was a threat to Goten and Trunks in the first episode of Super.

Can having a high power level protect you from acid?

I mean. Maybe a ki barrier would just turn the acid into a gas and that would be worse.

Frost proves that there are toxins harmful to Saiyans. So they can be poisoned.

I thought Frieza's foot soldiers could only use ki for flight though; why else would they have the arm cannons if they could just use ki blasts?

Power used for ki blasts is power that could have been used for flight and vice versa.

Some of them have the blasters, and some of them can do the Ki blasts themselves.

I mean, you're right. Flying seems to be way more efficient than ki blasts.

Which is why the blasters make sense, incidentally. If they use up all their ki with blasts running out of energy to fly becomes more of an issue.

Also, it wasn't technically running out, but in the Buu Saga Videl was lagging behind Gohan and Kibito and eventually had to go back.

Which I still think is impressive considering she only knew ki was a thing for a month, but.

Krillin could barely fly from exhaustion both the first time he did it against Piccolo in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, and right after Freeza got nuked with the Spirit Bomb.

One has to wonder why they even thought that bringing someone who has only known Ki is a thing for a very short time along was a good idea.

Are you kidding? Even when Goku had a battle power of 8,000 he preferred to rely on Kinto'un instead of flying. And that's much stronger than Freeza's goons.

In the 23rd Budokai he saved it as a trump card and even then barely used it. In the early Saiyan arc Piccolo notes he is inferior at flying and he relies on Kinto'un most of the time. Flying back from Kaio's place leaves him exhausted, so he has to take a senzu bean and used Kinto'un the rest of the way.
