weapons by the end of four months? lol




Posted by Speedfreak

Haha. Power Level.

I hope they come with a g-diffuser of some kind. I'd make sure to check it DAILY.




Posted by Prince Shondronai

Call me when they get up to 1.21 jigawatts.




Posted by maian

I lol at the thought of actual laser guns replacing current ones.

Imagine a drive by gang shooting...WITH LASERS




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

wonder if lasers would hurt more or less than bullets.




Posted by WillisGreeny

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.




Posted by WillisGreeny

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.

Figured you wouldn't die from bleeding out, but the burning from the laser would hurt like a *****.

HEY LOOK IT'S ICEMAN.




Posted by Prince Shondronai

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.




Posted by maian

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




Posted by WillisGreeny

idk. I've heard something about shock playing a factor when it comes to bullets...but then again.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

getting shot by a laser would be pretty shocking.




Posted by WillisGreeny

I'd make you let out a wilhelm scream.




Posted by #061402

Let's say they use it Star Wars style, with blasters and ****.. how would they make the laser blasts stop?




Posted by WillisGreeny

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.




Posted by Prince Shondronai

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.

I know. Just a thought that struck me while playing Force Unleashed. *Le shrug.*

We'll definitely have laser guns.



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

can't wait to go into a bar and pull one out under the table and then SHOOT FIRST




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

kill everyone behind the guy too.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

cheeska wa tooka solo

BAM

... sorry about the mess




Posted by Prince Shondronai

Chuno wungie, Solo wookie?




Posted by Foppy D

I used to think the word was spelled "lazer" with a Z because the American Gladiator with the same namesake spelled it that way.




Posted by Skitzo Control

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.

Lightsaber > lazer gun

There should be work on lightsaber technology.

12 yr olds everywhere are on the case.

not many people seem to realise laser is an acronym.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

light amplification by the something emission of radiation?

yeah i sucked at physics back in high school and i still do




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

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.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

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.

They could just change the acronym to "light amplification by the ZAPPOW! emission of radiation." That way they can spell it with the 'Z'.

Theres a club here in dallas called LAZERZ2020. It's mainly full of black people though.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

they do like their lasers.




Posted by #061402

I don't really see how it's relevant to the topic?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

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.
