the recoil is from the battery

Why would a battery cause recoil?

it's the coolant system

>laser weapon
>does damage

The battery combustion produces energy. Thus the recoil, samsung and apple been doing that for awhile, not supprised games do that.

Justify this post.

>laser weapon
>sounds mostly like an actual gun when fired

>laser weapon
>you can see the beams

it's almost as if photons carried momentum, right?

Most of the sound of a laser would be the air getting super-heated, it would actually be like a cracking sound.

With certain types of lasers in atmosphere you would be able to.

How did you manage to post so much bullshit in one post?

i like this

not always
certainly not in broad daylight

You probably think lasers are visible from the side and that the beam maintains a constant width. They are only good at blinding people

>hurrr thermodynamics don't apply to lasers

What about these types of lasers.

WH40k descriptions of Lasguns vary infamously wildly from author to author (Abnett typically gives even laspistols equivalent punch to a .50 BMG round, whereas any space marine -centric story usually paints laser weapons as glorified flashlights).
Often Lasguns issued to soldiers conscripted from uplifted gunpowder-tech worlds are given artificial kicks to increase familiarity. Sometimes their shot is a beam, sometimes it's a blaster bolt whose trajectory can be followed.
Abnett describes them as making a two-stage snap-bang noise due to superheating air etc.

Anyway the point is that laser weapons are more fun when fictionalised heavily, otherwise you'd have near-silent battles with invisible beams of death hosing every nook and cranny.

>every airplane makes a stuka siren sound when in steep descent

Should laser weapons have a battery that's ejected like a magazine or what?

Thermal clips, like ME2.

even if this is a trustworthy site,
laser weapons in games almost always fire red beams

It's almost like.... videogames... aren't realistic...

mmmmmmmmmmm
really makes my neurons produce electric signals...

But this is a good thing.

Those ar-were not battery...

Otherwise, a little solar panel could do the job. It's a toy after all.

Explain why the US military among others are investing large amounts of money and time to create laser weaponry.

Because aiming technology. (and blinding people)

>implying lasers won't make a big impact in air warfare and missiles.

hm yeah those anti-ICBM laser defense batteries are perfect for aiming my 20 year old beat to shit service rifle

woahhh...then...it's lamost like...they can have recoil too also not playing autismo realistic games in the year 2017 childrenofadeadearth.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/the-photon-lance/
because that looks really like a portable laser weapon.
also the US military research literally everything, it doesn't mean it will be actually useful

>“By the 2030 timeframe, we may see some niche applications of those technologies, mainly for point defense”

>m-muh lasers

Who ever specified a timeframe here, we are talking about lasers as a concept. My point is that lasers will be used for more than just 'aiming technology' and blinding people as claims.

>I have no idea about thermodynamics or electromagnetism

C'mon user where's your fucking physics degree.

they will remain a niche weapon. Their energy transfer will remain too dependent on the material of the objective. The reason why a laser can make a missile explode right now it's because the surface of the missile is not coated with a reflective material

>thinks he isn't a fucking idiot
You're a fucking idiot

If a weapon in a game has no recoil, it feels weak. They have to give laser weapons some kind of recoil or they feel awful to use.

lasers as a concept is a proven concept, however the power draw from maintaining a laser that could kill much less do anything else deadly is very difficult. Blinding people is easy in this comparison. Lasers as it stands though is already used in different wavelengths for varying applications in technology. Becoming weapons is already explored, but there's better ways to do it, laser guns that could kill people may never be an actual thing unless we get over the power draw issue. Even then it's a retarded idea considering ballistics.
