    "A 7 on the narlock scale."
    Little did the human know at they were also rated at a 3, but since most of the galaxy was petrified by their potential reaction the review team hid their findings and revised it to a 7. Which sadly backfired as the human took the rating as a challenge and are now on the verge of being revised to a 2.

      as weird as it sounds laser based personal weapons really would have a lower effective range than projectile throwers in our atmosphere: short version is that the point it hits the hardest is the spot right in front of the gun.
      dump enough energy in there to give it any real range of efficacy and it's turning the air in front of the shooter into a bomb, focusing several to a point would help enough to mitigate the problem but since apparently these people are still relying on personnel to aim and fire the things...yeah, no, that's just shooting a beam...speaking of the "a person has to aim this thing" problem: with a laser time held on target is extremely important so again it gets exponentially less effective as the range increases.

    • @donanthebarbarian5177
      @donanthebarbarian5177 3 роки тому +5

      Another factor is that is a handheld energy weapon that's firing in atmo. Handheld have to have a limit on energy storage and output. Go too high on output and it'll be a one shot wonder due to melting important parts to slag if not outright explode, too low a focus or output and it'll have zero effective range, but ballistics? Sure atmosphere does slow them down and pushes them off target but the impact of friction and wind are arguably less important than fine muscle control given a human brain with practice shooting is in control of said ballistic weapon.

      They are rather terrifying. Especially if you understand how blast wave phenomena works.
      Imagine a flash bang in a hallway. The blast wave expands hits the wall and comes back to have the waves slam into each other. This is also what causes a mushroom cloud to form. When the edge of the waves collide they can’t go down into the ground, so it goes up sucking in the dirt and air and throwing it upwards.
      So flash bangs in a confined area are really nasty.

As a standard, most had Iron sights that went out to 1 km, some has Iron sights that ranged further out to an astonishing 2km.
