The VS don't use frigin lasers

[Terik]

The Vanu don't use lasers, instead, they use particle beam weapons, plasma weapons, and some other weapons with strange characteristics like the lancer. If they did use lasers you would not beable to see the beams there weapons shoot unless you possition the retina of your eye directly infront of the beam. This is becuase all of the photon packets a laser beam is composed of travel in ONE direction. That is why you can't see the laser from a laser pointer or any other type of laser when trying to look at it from the side.

edit: Some grammar corrections.

yeah, your rigth... and it would also consume to much energy to use them too... plasma cannons is the path of the future baby, yeah !

[Duffman]

WHo cares! get a life

[Kilgs]

Gosh... thanks.

We really needed that clarification.

[Darksim]

THANK YOU!

Finally someone cleared it up

[Terik]

Oh and sound weapons, create a high pitched high amplitude sound that'll shatter any enemy in the vicinity's ear drums cuasing extreme pain, brain dammage, and permanent deafness.

Dont overhtink the game, it ruins it.

[simba]

who said they had lazers in the first place

Guys just makin a point, might not be the most essential post, but the guy is free to speak his mind.

You CAN see laser pointers from the side
Do this:
Go create dust somewhere during the night make sure its A LOT of it and point the laser pointer into the cloud of dust and press button and wammo!

Plasma weapons are theoretically liquid energy anyways, a laser rifle would be based off the same technology.. but the Vanu weapons are based off Vanu technology so who knows.

[The President]

Yeah, as Metroid said the VS use Vanu techonolgy. Thus whatever weapon systems they possess might not necessarily adhere to what weapons system a human would use. The Vanus dug the plasma/energy weapons.. Word.

Yea but rainner, thats becuase the light is reflecting off of the particles, in a vacuum with no matter to obstruct the laser you cannot see it from the side.

Sorry for double post.

Plasma is ionized gas, not liquid, the reason for it is, the higher somethings temperature becomes, the more the molecular bonds between it's particles begin to break down. With plasma there are almost NO bonds between it's particles becuase they all broke down which would make it a gas. Oh, and at plasma's temperature i'm certain that the temperature has far exceeded the evaporation point of whatever material is being ionized.
