Fun fact

"Laser Guns" especially beam lasers, would require an immense amount of power to generate a beam even for the shortest amount of time.

So...that being said...are handheld laser guns really that cool? A shot to the wrong place could blow you up...just saying.

Also a fun fact: Ablation means that firing a laser for any more than a millisecond or two is nearly a total waste of energy as the particulate cloud created by the ablated matter will obscure the target and disperse the energy.

Still badass though, because real military grade lasers wouldn't just cut into organic targets. They'd cause blood-steam explosions.

@UndeadPrivateer If only they were that awesome in Fallout lol

One shot would just annihilate them from the inside out xD

@Fangirlsarah1996 I don't know, turning people into piles of ash is pretty badass. Kinda like they switched the roles of plasma and lasers. Plasma should be turning things into ashes and lasers should be turning things into piles of goo. Though laser-made goo should be a pile of guts and splintered bone and not glowing green stuff.

@UndeadPrivateer Yeah but it just kinda "cooks them" alive...like a Microwave of death.

But yh...lasers should just have a permanent "Bloody Mess" perk attached to them xD
