Laser Gun

[slow man]

Description:

A) A hand held device that emits a laser for "x" number of seconds. If an enemy comes in contack with the laser they are dead instantly. A hand held laser gun is not 100% realistic yet, due to huge amounts of power needed to power the laser.

Advantages:
Laser lasts for a small amount of time
Enemy dies upon contact with the Laser (can walk into the laser)

Disadvantages:
Heavy (slows the players walking speed)
Low ammo, due to power source
Costs a moderate amount of credits (possibly 5 credits with 10 shots)
Heavy Armor, and Flame Armor reduce damage by half


B) A deployable device much like the chain gun. Due to the limited amount of shots it can either be auto aim like the chain gun and only be alowed 1 shot a game. Or the gun dot be the knife and u would have control of it like the blimp except it can not move, once deployed it is stationary. This would be more realistic because there is no know laser that can be hend held.

Advantages:
Laser lasts for a small amount of time
Enemy dies upon contact with the Laser (can walk into the laser)

Disadvantages:
Low ammo, due to power source
Costs a moderate amount of credits (possibly 5 credits with 10 shots)
Heavy Armor, and Flame Armor reduce damage by half
(if player controled) player left in the open while operating the laser

one shot kill would be cheap i think but i like the idea. i would have one all the time lol. I know you said stationary but can you turn in a circle or is it just face one direction

A hand held laser that can kill is a bit of a stretch. The smallest killing laser I know of requires a large truck to move it.

There are hand held Ruby Red lasers that can light cotton on fire. So maybe it could be a long range flame thrower of types.

Maybe head shots cause temporary blindness like a flash bang. If a player is hit enough times in the face maybe permanent blindness.

I was actualy thinking about something like this http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/hand ... -purchase/ with the power of this http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/la ... 00926.html
And as you were saying Fluffy the technology already exists http://www.janes.com/security/law_enfor ... _2_n.shtml

The one hit kill is a little harsh although it is basicly that way with the heat seaker or rpg providing it is a close enough hit, and there would also be no splash damage due to the precice beam of energy. I do like the idea of the blinding and catching on fire.

The problem is a hand held laser that can kill is a technology leap, and does not exist. Notice the size of the missile killing laser (what is even larger is the power plant required to operate it).

...yeah but the technology is coming
