Game have Laser weapons
Aaron Myers
Asher Taylor
why would it not?
Oliver Gomez
>Game have Laser weapons
>can't just wear mirror armor to negate all damage or redirect it to the enemy
Leo Morales
Name 5 games that do this.
Isaiah Ortiz
>game has a laser weapon
>the "projectile" has travel time
Levi Flores
I assume any damage a laser weapon can really do is maybe blind you or give you cancer over time..
So why bother
Joseph Smith
>game has recoilless railguns
Blake Robinson
yeah, light has a finite speed dummy. Hence the term "light speed".
It's not instant. It just feels instant because we're tiny shit heads.
Sebastian James
Yes, which is why a travel time makes no sense unless you're shooting something from one planet on another planet.
Matthew Brooks
Yeah, but we definitely can't see 3e8 m/s. It's like blinking a laser pointer at someone.
Carson Hernandez
who is this pic related of? keep seeing him
Colton Scott
It still wouldn't affect humans, it's like bullet speed in games, it would only really come into effect if you were shooting something beyond 600 meters and with lasers in games and real life it would be negligible
Cooper Collins
Ian McCollum, the main guy from Forgotten weapons
Logan Diaz
Is there any logical explanation for why a laser/energy gun would have recoil?
Andrew Miller
A cooling mechanism that needs to move in some way inside the gun to prevent it from melting in you hands maybe?
Isaiah Bailey
It could work if your "lasers" are Star Wars tier in so far as they shit you shoot is actually superheated gas. As for regular lasers, shit's retarded.
>game has laser weapons
>it's always retarded pew pew laserguns shit instead of just a single continuous beam
I fucking hate that shit
Joshua Carter
fear extraction point had a nice laser gun
Christopher Foster
Strictly speaking you are shooting photons out, that would cause recoil however insignificant.
Brayden Collins
There's also heat
Benjamin Clark
>future game
>guns still use chemical propellants
Camden Hill
Do you know why guns have recoil?
Lincoln Cook
Did you know photons have mass?
Jose Nelson
Fallout 3/NV
Dominic Roberts
Yeah, and their emission doesn't involve propellant charges
Julian Ramirez

FNV
F4
XCOM
XCOM2
XCOM CS
Battlefront games

Isaac Evans
So? Chemical propellant isn't why recoil happens.
Wyatt Smith
Technically, yeah
The problem is holding it stable when the projectile is locked but the magnets push it
Technically possible from a fixed position
Jackson Campbell
so you're saying a real life kamehameha would push you back?
Caleb Perez
Parker Reed
No? What pushes the bullet out?
Owen Perez
Colton Nguyen
Equal and opposite reaction. A laser weapon that behaves similarly to our current ballistic weapons WOULD have recoil. When you switch on a torch, it has an infinitesimally small amount of recoil. NASA is researching the phenomenon so it can be used as a propellant free form of propulsion in space.
William Russell
It doesn't matter WHAT pushes the bullet out, the act of PUSHING always PUSHES BACK.
Pushing photons out with electricity instead of bullets with chemicals STILL RECOILS.
Lucas Thompson
Maybe the combustion or whatever creates the laser beam produces a kick?
Hunter Garcia

Jaxon Myers
Recoil is not a chemical reaction.
Connor Young
Nothing to do with lasers
Cooper Flores
This cannon is cool, it wouldn't without the recoil
Matthew Flores
They don't
Anthony Perez
What are you talking about schizo?
Hunter Sullivan
That's not how lasers work
Jace White
The only type of mass that cannot have recoil is one that has no momentum.
Now I don't know about you, but light definitely has fucking momentum.
Hunter Jones
The Fallout ones don't really have recoil IIRC, they just have spread. Which kinda makes sense if it's supposed to be a beam refracting and shit.
Could be wrong though, been a while since I've played one.
Anthony Butler
Mini Chernobyl has to happen inside the gun to project the energy.
