Maybe Star Wars won't be so "far, far away" soon.
i jsut noticed how creepy the eye in my sig is. its like... staring right at me...

that line... sounds exactly like something i'd read in there
weapons by the end of four months? lol
Haha. Power Level.
I hope they come with a g-diffuser of some kind. I'd make sure to check it DAILY.
Call me when they get up to 1.21 jigawatts.
I lol at the thought of actual laser guns replacing current ones.
Imagine a drive by gang shooting...WITH LASERS
wonder if lasers would hurt more or less than bullets.
Here's a video simulation of them working on the laser

[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;884118]wonder if lasers would hurt more or less than bullets.it would probably be less painful. it's quicker, and the wound would probably cauterize immediately because of the heat.
I'm banking on it feeling the same either way... But I guess we'll have to wait for some poor bloke to get lazerred and shot to tell us before dieing.
HEY LOOK IT'S ICEMAN.
I'm a firm believer in the Simon R. Green version of weaponized lasers from his Deathstalker books: They should have a blast with the diameter of a good-sized watermelon. A man with no lungs can't tell you how much pain he's in.
I imagine a laser wouldn't be as bad as a gunshot. The burning would suuuck, but you don't get the impact you'd get from a bullet, and you don't end up with a chunk of metal stuck in you. ;o
idk. I've heard something about shock playing a factor when it comes to bullets...but then again.
getting shot by a laser would be pretty shocking.
I'd make you let out a wilhelm scream.
Let's say they use it Star Wars style, with blasters and ****.. how would they make the laser blasts stop?
hey, here's a thought; THEY DON'T BOTHER since it's impossible. In fantasy land, they use crystals.
The whole point of a weaponized laser is so that it'll strike a target at the speed of light, which is why the military is interested in using it for missile defences and other types of "within 2 second" applications. Its applications aren't "Let's fight like it's Star Wars". And if scientists were able to stop light at high levels of energy then we'd most likely use it for cloaks and other stealth devices.
Lasers are also very precise and could cause a perfectly measured amount of damage. Being able to remove a building from the face of the Earth without damaging the surrounding area would be extremely desireable, I would think.
can't wait to go into a bar and pull one out under the table and then SHOOT FIRST
kill everyone behind the guy too.
cheeska wa tooka solo
BAM
... sorry about the mess
Chuno wungie, Solo wookie?
I used to think the word was spelled "lazer" with a Z because the American Gladiator with the same namesake spelled it that way.
And if you were any kind and decent human being, you'd spell it with a "Z," anyway.

Lazers, bottom line, would rock. That's all we need to worry about.
**** Lazers!!
Bring on the Living Laser!!

Lightsaber > lazer gun
There should be work on lightsaber technology.
12 yr olds everywhere are on the case.

Dude, siiiiiiiick..
LAAAAAAAAAAAZERSSSSSS <(look, with a 's' and a 'z')

not many people seem to realise laser is an acronym.
light amplification by the something emission of radiation?
yeah i sucked at physics back in high school and i still do
I don't remember what it stands for, just that it stands for something.
Though I've run into people at my work that don't realise LED is an acronym either.
LIGHT EMITTING DIODE
yeah i remember that one, yesss

Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation*
Which, that's so 21st century. LAZZORS sounds waaaaaaay better.
I spel tha wai et sownds
Meeh two..
Theres a club here in dallas called LAZERZ2020. It's mainly full of black people though.
they do like their lasers.
I don't really see how it's relevant to the topic?
it's about lasers.
I'MMAmazed Numbs is so oblvious at timez.
More like I'm not used to the way VGC works just yet. A topic can start with Obama and end with penis-like countries around these parts.
