Laser guns are actually conceptually cool, but American cartoons somehow made them synonymous for being lame and kiddy...

Lasers dont burn the surface layer. You know how if you put a flashlight over your hand it has a slight transparency glow? Imagine that but on fire.

you can blame star trek for that

More like they can instantly vaporize a chunk of your flesh.

Lasers most certainly do.

and by God is it fun means to vaporize corpus

Don't denigrate that glorious body disintegrating death cannon by calling it a "laser gun"

Also, lasers have a long history of being lame, and it's sort of built upon itself.

Also, Space Runaway Ideon

The third episode of Spicy City, where we see what they're capable of when used on human beings in an adult cartoon.

I love the Arca Plasmor but wouldn't the Scisco be the laser gun? or if you need to go cool and heavy, the Opticor.

It would very much depend on the color if the laser. Red, infrared, or microwave lasers would more likely penetrate the skin and cook your insides, while blue or ultraviolet would vaporize skin and cauterize the wound. All of them, however, would permanently blind everyone present.

laser flashbangs when?

Stupid soccer moms getting manipulated by lasrer merchants to raise stock so they ban guns in cartoons

Railguns are the real shit.

That's because laser weapons are only good in how certain media can portray them. In cartoons meant for kids, it's to work around the violence of guns but also not making their show too boring for kids.

In media meant for audiences 13+ energy weapons tend to be pretty fucking brutal.

The worst thing about how laser guns are portrayed is how they always show their trajectory in a way that makes them look like bullets when in reality laser beams are like this

Being reduced to dust still is more censorship-friendly than showing huge gaping wounds spilling blood everywhere tho

this is adorable but it sounds like an otamatone

I'd argue it's worse for the existential dread it brings. Even if you're a bloody pulp, you're still "you," yeah it's messy but it's the one thing that would identify you were human. There's nothing to bury if you're a dust cloud mixed with other dust clouds. You're just gone. Literally poofed out of existence.

fuck that, give me laser disco ball instead

Gargoyles had some pretty cool laser guns, as I recall.

I was honestly surprised at how gory that sequence was, maybe because the violence in the first two episodes was kind of cartoonish.

>Uses laser weapons
>Doesn't wear goggles
It's your own damn fault
Now, how hilarious would it be if cops had such lasers and criminals started wearing protective goggles on their heists, making them very obvious (but leaving innocent bystanders blinded)

Just in: Tony Stark, responsible for blinding hundreds of New York citizens. Class action lawsuit is being filed against him!

Repulsers aren't lasers

Then what is it? I am fairly sure it is a form of light.

Particle beams moron

>implying there's nothing more satisfying than firing Megatron's fusion/riot cannon

>Arcaplasmor
>laser gun
>not a Corpus tech weapon that fires pulses of radiation to bake enemies' brains and make them fight each other

I even have a catchmoon kitgun that puts out similar damage. Its not a laser. It's a giant fuck you wave of radiation to wipe out enemies.

Basically a raygun. Which still fires "light", which could still cause blindness, other than burns and possible disintegration depending on the charge. You do know the U.S military is working on such weapons rights, ways to blind and disorient enemies soldiers.

Laser guns are no match for a good old spear.

I dunno if the weapons in Ideon are lasers, the Glen Cannon the humans use are just Glen Cannon, but it's never specified what they fire, and it's never really explained what the Buff Clan guns fire either? The Ideon itself mostly used missiles and its other weapons later, anyway.

Not really, bullets cause mostly a crushing impact that damages arteries and interal organs causkng cardiac arrest. Bleeding out from a shot takes like a half hour.

I named mine arca plasmite c:

>arca plasmor
>a laser gun
The corpus arca plasmor does not use beam munitions.

Blinding people with lasers is a war crime.

Burns cause major blood loss

Fuck you you xkcd level retard

Can't tell if this user is serious

Bad example since practically no pistol calibers ever reach the velocities necessary to make that impressive looking temporary cavity mean anything. Since tissue is highly elastic that temporary cavity just stretches, there's not much if any tearing inside of it and it doesn't significantly interfere with life functions. Only once a projectile exceeds 2200ft/s do the outer limits of that cavity start to tear open, which turn it into part of the permanent wound cavity and dramatically increase potential lethality. This is the real primary reason why many intermediate and full sized rifle rounds are so much more deadly than pistol calibers, many of them exceed that speed and as a result push living tissue beyond it's elasticity point and tear large traumatic permanent wound cavities resulting in sudden massive blood loss and immediate unconsciousness or death.

Is it really? Not saying it is a lie, just wondering.

Yeah, here's the articles.
1
>It is prohibited to employ laser weapons specifically designed, as their sole combat function or as one of their combat functions, to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision, that is to the naked eye or to the eye with corrective eyesight devices. The High Contracting Parties shall not transfer such weapons to any State or non-State entity.
2
>In the employment of laser systems, the High Contracting Parties shall take all feasible precautions to avoid the incidence of permanent blindness to unenhanced vision. Such precautions shall include training of their armed forces and other practical measures.
3
>Blinding as an incidental or collateral effect of the legitimate military employment of laser systems, including laser systems used against optical equipment, is not covered by the prohibition of this Protocol.
4
>For the purpose of this protocol "permanent blindness" means irreversible and uncorrectable loss of vision which is seriously disabling with no prospect of recovery. Serious disability is equivalent to visual acuity of less than 20/200 Snellen measured using both eyes.

Unfortunately this also means that until we decide to engage in real big dick war again and these stupid pussy restrictions get tossed to the wayside, all laser weapons are effectively unusable directly against people. Any laser powerful enough to blow through clothes, armor, and into someone's guts enough to kill them will also be able to instantly blind them, people next to them, possibly your own friends, and anybody nearby looking at the aperture of your laser gun out of the corner of their eye. Since no laser beam is 100% coherent some of it will scatter out in a cone somewhat like a flashlight beam, perhaps enough to injure the eyesight of people not directly in the primary beam's path.

That's so Metal.

I guess they do have a loophole in that they don't include a prohibition against collateral blindness, however I doubt that would fly too long as it will inevitably turn out that any instantly lethal laser weapon also has basically a guarantee of collateral blindness. It's like if you had a gun that was basically guaranteed to always hit an unintended target as well as whatever you're directly aiming at. Anybody downrange of a killing laser without eyepro who's looking in it's direction is at risk, so who knows if somebody does manage a man or at least vehicle portable laser weapon maybe all modern armies are going to end up wearing specialized eyepro. Fully enclosed helmets fed a view from cameras might become necessary since the kind of shades necessary to keep a laser from cooking your retinas would also be too dark to see anything else out of either.

Aren't repulsors some sort of modified electromagnetism?
